Get Metadata in a block- Is it possible?

I´m trying to make a module block to display Meta description and keywords so I don´t have to hack the theme.
the problem is that I can´t see how to retrieve this information from the classes.

Is this info availiable before or after the block is rendered?

Smarty can´t help me.
<{$xoops_title}> works fine
<{$xoops_meta_description}> does not.

Thanks

I am not sure if I understand correctly what you are trying to do, but I think that analyzing this module that can be some light.

Hi Giba, I did mean a block, not a module, just for display the meta-keywords so I don´t have to view the source code of the page.

I´ll take a look into that module, thanks!

Pt-
O que eu quero é simplesmente criar um bloco para apresentar os dados META, assim posso ir seguindo as alterações página a página sem ter de editar o código fonte. Poderia simplesmente ecoar as variáveis directamente no tema, mas já agora, como isto é para um módulo que estou a montar para SEO do xoops, um bloco destes ficava bem. Um abraço!

Hi,

something like:

global $xoopsDB;
$sql = "SELECT conf_value FROM ".$xoopsDB->prefix("config")." WHERE conf_name = "meta_keywords""; 
$result = $xoopsDB->query($sql); 
$keywords = $xoopsDB->fetchRow($result);
echo($keywords[0]);

Hi Stefan, thank you but I´m not looking for the system keywords, those can be fecth using this:

$xoopsConfigMetaFooter =& $config_handler->getConfigsByCat(XOOPS_CONF_METAFOOTER);
if(isset($xoopsConfigMetaFooter['meta_description'])) {
return $xoopsConfigMetaFooter['meta_description'];
}


What I realy want is to fecth keywords that are assigned by modules:

$xoTheme->addMeta( 'meta', 'description', $meta_description);

Or
$xoopsTpl->assign('xoops_meta_description', $meta_description);

You see? After this assignements can a block get the information? How?

Hi Travis,

Why to reinvent the wheel ^^

There's a module already implementing such features.
Check XC for DBCSS!

[portuguese]

DBCSS permite modificar XOOPS module header de qualquer modulo a partir do tema. Até de incluir um css ou javascript especifico. Assim como determinar keywords, descrição, etc.

Damaster:

I do not want to assign keywords per module nor ride a bike. I just want to know if it is possible to get the current meta_descrition/keywords using a block.

Is a simple question, a hard problem.

This is helpful, for ex the news module assign meta-keywords taken form the text. Well, i want a block to display them. It can help me modifing the algo till I get the best result for automatic keywords.

I just want a block, a blooooock. Can i have a block?

Anyone?

Ps: the SEO module I was talking about is more related to Friendly urls, but it uses theme_changer. I´ll check that module DBCSS to.

So, You don't want to ride a bike, nor walk... do you want me to carry you!?

Or are going to make an effort to learn?
Check the module dbcss and how it overrite :

$xoops_meta_keywords
$xoops_meta_description
$xoops_meta_robots
$xoops_meta_rating

and just print it out

Let me ask it in other way:
What is loaded first, blocks or modules?
