Edit meta description to Add $threadinfo[title] at the start

First sorry for my english, i will try to explain what i want the best possible:

I see that vBSEO uses the first words of a post to make the meta description:

For example:

In this thread:
como solucionar el problema de Metadescripciones cortas

The meta description is:

Code:

<meta name="description" content="hola buenas tardes, tengo un problema que me da dolor de cabeza, tengo 1600 url con Metadescripciones cortas en las herramientas de google webmaster, casi todas las url son" /

But as you can see sometimes isn't the best having the first words of the post because there isn't very related to the content

So i want to add something like this:

Code:

<meta name="description" content="como solucionar el problema de Metadescripciones cortas: hola buenas tardes, tengo un problema que me da dolor de cabeza, tengo 1600 url con Metadescripciones cortas en las herramientas de google webmaster, casi todas las url son" /

Where
como solucionar el problema de Metadescripciones cortas

Is the thread title.

I tried making a edition on headinclude template but vBSEO don't use this.

I think that this is possible with some edition with a Plugin or in the php files can you explain how to do this?.

Thanks!

In order to alter the way vBSEO handles the meta information, you will have to dive into the php itself that creates this.

in /includes/functions_vbseo.php

find around line 1602

Code:

if(VBSEO_REWRITE_META_DESCRIPTION||VBSEO_REWRITE_META_KEYWORDS)

you will have to play in there to change your display

Somewhere in there eh? Interesting.

For me

Code:

if(VBSEO_REWRITE_META_DESCRIPTION||VBSEO_REWRITE_META_KEYWORDS)

was on line 1851.

Inet did you find how to tweak?

Ok Inettive you can use RR's to do this instead. But hope you already found the solution.

It is possible using the RR's but the problem is that you need to disable the Dynamic META TAGS which also adds a description to other pages such as Profile Pages and with RR's you can only setup it for showthread and forumdisplay pages.

you can only setup it for showthread and forumdisplay pages

Considering that's all we have included in our vbseo sitemaps. This was not too much of an issue.

It would do a lot of duplicate meta descriptions and will be the same with the Thread tags.

This is the code that needs edition for do this:

Code:

if(VBSEO_REWRITE_META_DESCRIPTION)
{
$desc_content = vbseo_extract_msg_postbits();
if(VBSEO_META_DESCRIPTION_UNIQUE)
{
$desc_append = true;
$desc_content = vbseo_substr_words($desc_content, VBSEO_META_DESCRIPTION_MAX_CHARS - 10);
$desc_content .= ' ('.$GLOBALS['threadinfo']['threadid'].')';
}
}

And need to add:

Code:

$desc_content .= ' ('.$GLOBALS['threadinfo']['title'].')';

But i don't know where put this piece of code, can anyone help?

Thanks

I'm still searching for this, it's one line that needs to be added to the code but i can't see where.

I tested doing this with Relevant Replacements but it isn't the solution because i lose the meta description for showpost, member page, blog pages, etc, etc.

Thank you
