why meta description and keywords is not generated in txp 4.0.8

shilmy · 2009-07-08 22:08:37

Thanks. But it still strange to me. I’ve been checking it using Google Chrome and FireFox, and both meta description and keywords is still missing, and there are no tag trace. Even after I clear the cache.

I need to check it up using another computer.

I’ve try to access using different computer, I’ve try using the latest google chrome, firefox, and ie7, but I still cannot see the meta description and keywords nor the tag trace. Is there other thing that I can do to see the source code generated by txp?

I see a tag trace as well when visiting the page http://txp408.mytrumedia.com/

What browser are you using?

I see it you on FF 3/Linux.

You are looking for it at the page source (aka “View source”), aren’t you?

Yes, I look at it at the page source. I also check using opera but still cannot find the metas nor the tag trace.

Are you looking for it at the bottom? Just to try something, log out from your TXP admin and then reload the front page and see the source.

Are you looking at this page: http://txp408.mytrumedia.com/articles/1/welcome-to-your-site. That is a page in the “articles” section (note the first URL segment). In Presentation->Sections you can see that the “articles” section uses the “archive” Page (template). The “archives” template does not have the extra meta tags.

If you look at the home page, the meta tags are there.

The tag trace is there on every page, in HTML source view. It appears after all the HTML.

After try to view using IE8, finally I can see the complete source with meta description, keywords, and the tag trace. But first, I had to click Compatibility view button, next to address bar before seeing it. If I click the button again, it back to the old source code, without the metas and tag trace.

I wonder if the same functionality exist in other browsers.

No, I’m looking at the homepage.

The home page validates (ran it through the W3 validator), so I don’t see why compatibility view would make a difference, but I’m glad that at least you have seen the full source.

The mind boggles…

I hate to harp on this, but what is the exact URL of the page you are viewing?

No problem, the URL is http://txp408.mytrumedia.com

but for your information I’m not really a newbie in computer or textpattern. I’m finding this problem while trying to put dynamic meta on my site: http://www.letsplaysong.com. I’m just surprised that meta description and keywords are missing, even after I remove any txp tag to avoid logic error.

I’m surprised too, but I’m convinced this is not a Txp issue. I and the other responders on this thread have all seen the meta tags and tag trace on every view of the home page. It must be something about your browser or system. I don’t know a thing about IE8, but a quick survey of what “Compatibility View” is about gives me the heebie-jeebies. However you’ve had the same issue in other browsers so I am at a loss to explain it. I just checked in Opera (for Mac) and all is correct.

Txp can do unexpected things, but one thing it simply won’t do is mangle a template with no Txp tags added since the default install.

This problem is really confusing me, at first I thought it was server problem, because I don’t have this issue with txp installed in my notebook. It’s also not browser issue, since I don’t have this issue with local server, and try several different browsers.

Since the responders of this thread can see the source code on the server, obviously it’s not server issue either.

So, it’s leave me with one suspect, my internet connection, because I try two computers with the same internet connection both cannot see the meta description and keywords tags and tag trace results.
