Is there any way to create unique meta tags for individual forums? I guess you could sprinkle the Olympus-type warning section with individual meta tag words, but is there a better way? Also, is there any benefit - would the spiders/bots/crawlers read the warning text?

P.S.

Would it be possible to create a new section at the bottom of the forum page, like the warning area but as somewhere to put meta tags?

Meta tags in forums are dynamically created using the forum name and description... but you need to have the f=XXX in the url, otherwise the META TAG is not generated (I've coded this in this way to avoid further SQL while browsing topics).

Try to look at the page_header.php and you'll se how the code is working... especially this part:

Code: [Hide] [Select]

elseif ( isset($meta_forum_id) )

{

	$sql = "SELECT c.cat_title, f.forum_name

					FROM " . FORUMS_TABLE . " f, " . CATEGORIES_TABLE . " c

					WHERE c.cat_id = f.cat_id

					AND f.forum_id = $meta_forum_id";

	if( ($result = $db->sql_query($sql, false, 'forums_cats_')) )

	{

		if ( $meta_row = $db->sql_fetchrow($result) )

		{

			/*

			$meta_description = $board_config['sitename'] . ' :: ' . $meta_row['cat_title'] . ' :: ' . $meta_row['forum_name'];

			$meta_keywords = $board_config['sitename'] . ', ' . $meta_row['cat_title'] . ', ' . $meta_row['forum_name'] . ', ';

			$page_title = $board_config['sitename'] . ' :: ' . $meta_row['cat_title'] . ' :: ' . $page_title;

			*/

			$meta_description = $meta_row['forum_name'];

			$meta_keywords = $meta_row['cat_title'] . ', ' . $meta_row['forum_name'] . ', ';

			$page_title = $meta_row['cat_title'] . ' :: ' . $page_title;

		}

		//here we clear $result from ram and cache it

		$db->sql_freeresult($result);

		//End sql cache opt

	}

}

Sounds clever, Luca

Do I really add f=XXX in the url, or does xxx stand for something? Also, how do I add it to the URL?

Hi, tc1967uk

f=XXX stands for Forum ID, and it is always part of the URL while viewing the forum, for it tells viewforum.php which forum to display. XXX is always number, so it is not literally "xxx".

Mighty is suggesting that META for particular forum is generated dynamically, based on that forum ID part of the URL (xxx thingy

)

Hope it's more clear now
