Re: why meta description and keywords is not generated in txp 4.0.8

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
metatags.
No, I’m looking at the homepage.

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.
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.
I wonder if the same functionality exist in other browsers.
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.

Re: why meta description and keywords is not generated in txp 4.0.8
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.

Emmh. Or it’s might just the browser caching the page. Or it could be hardware end cache also.
If you have But apparently you don’t have it on, because the pages don’t send the header.Send Last-Modified headers? option set on in TXP > Admin > Preferences, turn it off.

Re: why meta description and keywords is not generated in txp 4.0.8
Are your requests for internetpages going through a proxy server? If so, try going around the proxy server, connecting directly to the internet.
If compatibility mode in MSIE8 solves the problem, then I wonder if this is related to the user-agent sent by the browser in the page request. Compatibility mode changes the user-agent string from MSIE8 to MSIE7. You could try installing a user-agent change extension in Firefox and see what it does if you let Firefox emulate the MSIE7 user-agent string.

I,ve try the user-agent addon, change the user agent to IE7, but the results still the same, no meta description and keywords. But that’s no surprising result, since the problem also exist when I try using IE7 to access the site.

Hi.
I’d try to see your meta description and keywords tags into your source pages but nothing appear!
Could you wrap these two meta tags with some words (sometimes I use this method to mark some parts in my code cause I am a TXP newbee)
Try this:
HERE<meta name="keywords" content="some,key,word" />
THERE<meta name="description" content="my content goes here" />
Save your page template/or form then empty your cache browser load your page and see your page source.
If you don’t see the two words the correspondiing TXP mechanism isn’t runing and you have a problem in your structure.
Hope that can helo you.
Patrick.
