About meta description
I have a website built with Textpattern 4.5.7 and I need to output different description metadata in a section (Podcast) and in each article belonging to that section. Unfortunately <txp:meta_description /> will not work with version 4.5.7. Currently the description metadata is hard-coded in the page template. Any tips? The website is www.mindfulnessbergamo.net. Thanks.

Re: About meta description
Hi gilibaus,
You could try:
<txp:if_section name="podcast">
<meta name="description" content="some description" />
<txp:else />
<txp:hide>you are in another section</txp:hide>
<meta name="description" content="generic description" />
</txp:if_section>In fact, you can use the if_section tag to make separate descriptions per section.

Re: About meta description
Hi gilibaus – with the risk of answering your question with another question – are there reasons why you’re running with the 4.5.7 version over the current 4.6.2 version? Are there specific plugins that prevent you upgrading? Your <txp:meta_description /> issues should be resolved with 4.6.0 onwards.
I did podcasting some years ago and used Textpattern as the base CMS, I may have an archive of tips and hacks I gathered together…I’ll check my stash tonight and see what I have.

Re: About meta description
I solved adding this into the page template:
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:arc_meta_description />
<txp:else />
<meta name="description" content="some podcast description" />
</txp:if_individual_article>where <txp:arc_meta_description /> outputs the description metadata of the single episode.
@gaekwad no real technical reason for not upgrading, just need some more spare time to do it. As for podcasting tips and hacks, they would be welcome!
Thank you all for your support.
