..but after adding the missing few lines (as attached) we have it working properly!
Thank you very much

I hope there is something in this for others too.
Joe, if you can explain what's going on in layman's terms I'm interested (keen to learn and self help as much as possible).
Cheers,
Neil.

Why the lines have gone missing in the upload/download to and from here is beyond me.

Why the plugin worked differently I can answer more exactly to effect rather than root cause.

The plugin uses/used the variable $cat which (for me and my testing) returns the number of the current catalog. For some reason (the root cause) both of your setups returned an empty value for $cat which the plugin interpreted as a 0 (zero). It then used that 0 to return the description for the main album page.

I changed the plugin so that the catalog number is read through a Supercage get.

Code Select

	// grab category by supercage get
	$superCage = Inspekt::makeSuperCage();		
 	if ($superCage->get->keyExists('cat')) {
	$now_cat = $superCage->get->getInt('cat');
	  }

I am glad that it works for you. Thanks for the testing info.
Now it will be time for another release.

Joe Carver · September 15, 2010, 02:18:22 AM

Release of Version 1.5

Changelog

Supercage get now used instead of $cat for category number

To upgrade:
Versions older than 1.4 must uninstall/delete/upload/reinstall.
Back up your descriptions first.
Version 1.4 can be upgraded by replacing codebase.php only.

This might be more "friendly" to SEF urls - testing reports / results are requested.

New version attached to first post in thread.

Thank you for this plugin.
One question, it looks like it adds the filename to the meta description if there is no description to the image. Could this be a config (to leave out the filename)?

The Canonical tag is not working when a file is visited from an album.
E.g, the album http://www.galsh.com/thumbnails-22.html
One photo in this album http://www.galsh.com/displayimage-22-46374.html#top_display_media
As you can see no canonical tag here! Can you fix this please!

That is the intent of the design. The canonical tag would show only if you see that picture by clicking it from meta albums. (Lastup, Most viewed, Last comment, etc.)

Canonical is in this Coppermine plugin to tell the search sites:
"This meta page is related to the main image page."

The main image page is always what the album page has for links.

Try reading the links on the first page in this thread.
There is nothing to fix here.

profili · January 05, 2011, 12:09:25 AM

If the Google bot will visit this url http://www.galsh.com/displayimage-22-46374.html#top_display_media and there is no canonical tag, it will index it. But this is not the permalink of this file. This is the permalink http://www.galsh.com/displayimage-46374.html
That's why the canonical tag should work everytime if there are multiple URLs for the same content. I hope you understand what I mean. Thank you.

Joe Carver · January 05, 2011, 12:33:02 AM

What have you set in the plugin config for that variable? PID or AID + PID?

Please bear in mind that SEF urls may change the behavior of the plugin too.

Quote from: profili on January 05, 2011, 12:09:25 AM
This is the permalink......

Where does that link come from? From which page does a search engine find it?

I use PID.

QuoteWhere does that link come from? From which page does a search engine find it?

Under "File information" is the unique url for each file. But more important for Google is to see only one url for one content. And Canonical tag is ideal for this.

profili · January 10, 2011, 01:34:42 AM

No chance to have here a complete solution for canonical tag for Copperimine Gallery, right?

Ulenka · October 18, 2012, 11:17:59 AM

I want to add "Descriptions of album" in meta-description. Which code put into "Set Meta Description - Album List page"?

Joe Carver · October 19, 2012, 11:31:23 AM

It is difficult to understand which page(s) you are asking about.

Please post a link to the exact page that you describe.

Posting a link to your Coppermine is required by the Board Rules

astrasuite · June 14, 2013, 02:48:09 AM

Hi, Joe,

Thanks for this plugin, excellent.

Overall great. It shows the same desc for urls like these though :

http://www.astrasuite.com/client-system-albums/displayimage.php?album=129&pid=1659

http://www.astrasuite.com/client-system-albums/displayimage.php?pid=1659

Could it be possible to include an option to replace meta Title as well ? With a random number generated to append at the end of the title to ensure all titles are unique (maybe done to meta description as well)

Thanks

astrasuite · June 14, 2013, 04:53:30 AM

p.s. Never mind about the title, I was able to make it unique by modifying /include/themes.inc.php

I just changed this :

'{TITLE}' => theme_page_title($section),

to this :

'{TITLE}' => theme_page_title($section) . " | " . rand(1,1000),

Maybe I'll do the same to the desc ...

astrasuite · July 01, 2013, 12:37:50 AM

Never mind about the description too, I got it to be unique now, same with title. While taking care of the recommended lengths by Google, I just append the last few characters of the current url to both title and description, rather than rand(), and it's always unique now, while being constant.

So for my two examples above, same image but different url, no more duplicates. Down from 2000+ reported by Google Webmaster to zero ...

Thanks for the plugin ...

Walkinman · December 31, 2013, 05:23:03 AM

Is there a way to config this plugin so that it does NOT add a description tag to albums? I have tweaked things so I can write custom meta tags for description on my site (for album pages (and categories if I can figure that part out)), and it's causing 2 tags to be generated .. I would like to keep this plugin mainly for the image display pages.

Astrasuite - would you mind posting how you did that for the description tag? I'm also getting tons of duplicate description tags on the google and would like to find an easier way to fix it than doing it manually. I played with the themes.inc.php file a bit but couldn't make anything work.

Thanks.

Walkinman · December 31, 2013, 06:23:41 AM

PS: OK .. so I found a way to do add a description to the image display via this thread
http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,17275.msg98259.html#msg98259

Code Select

if ($CURRENT_PIC_DATA['title']) { $meta_keywords .= "<meta name=\"description\" content=\"".$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['caption']."\">"; }

and I added this so they're not duplicates

Code Select

if ($CURRENT_PIC_DATA['title']) { $meta_keywords .= "<meta name=\"description\" content=\"".$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['caption']. " | Image = #".$pid."\">"; }

So the tag is constant and unique. So I think I have that figured out. Now, how to get my the meta tag to display on the category pages, and I think I'll be getting somewhere! Ideally I'd like to limit the caption in the meta tag to maybe 150 characters, but I don't know how to do that.

Having got this done, I've uninstalled the plugin, Joe, so no need to address my earlier question about an option to NOT add a desc to albums. Unless it's of some value to others, of course.

Thanks.

Cheers

Carl

astrasuite · March 29, 2014, 05:38:57 AM

Sorry, Walkinman, didn't see this ... anyway, mine is a lot of change, and results may not be for everyone.

Here is the whole codebase.php, I commented my changes with "jcr", and others have "jcr" so it's understandable ...

Is there a way to config this plugin so that it does NOT add a description tag to albums? I have tweaked things so I can write custom meta tags for description on my site (for album pages (and categories if I can figure that part out)), and it's causing 2 tags to be generated .. I would like to keep this plugin mainly for the image display pages.

Astrasuite - would you mind posting how you did that for the description tag? I'm also getting tons of duplicate description tags on the google and would like to find an easier way to fix it than doing it manually. I played with the themes.inc.php file a bit but couldn't make anything work.

Thanks.

p.s. It might be very crude to experts

, but it works for me so far ... I only get 1 Google Webmaster HTML Improvement "error", and that's due to Yoast Wordpress plugin.
