After a lot of work crafting meta-tag keywords - and wondering why I was so low on the google-pole, I had a loko at the source of my site - no contents in any of the meta-tags! In System Admin/Meta Tags and Footer I have all my meta tags, but a view source shows:

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />
<
meta http-equiv="content-language" content="en" />
<
meta name="robots" content="" />
<
meta name="keywords" content="" />
<
meta name="description" content="" />
<
meta name="rating" content="" />
<
meta name="author" content="" />
<
meta name="copyright" content="" />
<
meta name="generator" content="XOOPS" />


Can anyone help here? I opened up theme.html of the theme we are using (doggie) and indeed it has:

<meta http-equiv="content-language" content="<{$xoops_langcode}>" />
<
meta name="robots" content="<{$meta_robots}>" />
<
meta name="keywords" content="<{$meta_keywords}>" />
<
meta name="description" content="<{$meta_description}>" />
<
meta name="rating" content="<{$meta_rating}>" />
<
meta name="author" content="<{$meta_author}>" />
<
meta name="copyright" content="<{$meta_copyright}>" />
<
meta name="generator" content="XOOPS" />


Can someone help here?

Thanks,

Re: Meta-tag keywords not showing up!

taken from the /themes/default/theme.html - the correct values for a XOOPS theme should be:
<meta name="robots" content="<{$xoops_meta_robots}>" />
<
meta name="keywords" content="<{$xoops_meta_keywords}>" />
<
meta name="description" content="<{$xoops_meta_description}>" />
<
meta name="rating" content="<{$xoops_meta_rating}>" />
<
meta name="author" content="<{$xoops_meta_author}>" />
<
meta name="copyright" content="<{$xoops_meta_copyright}>" />

Before modifying your theme to make these changes, make sure the "Update module template .html files from themes/your theme/templates directory?" is enabled in System -> Preferences -> General Settings. Once the site displays your changes, it is safe to turn that setting back off.

That's a way old post, but I thought I'd let you know that it totally helped me out. Thanks.
