#81 – Metadata on AdsManager menu items

Joomla! version : 3.7.5
PHP version : 5.6.25
AdsManager version : Gold 3.1.11

Hello good day.

I have seen that by assigning metadata to the AdsManager menu items (Home, All ads, Post ad) are not displayed in the source code of the page, therefore, they have no effect.

Is it possible to assign metadata to these menu items? Or is it better to use the metadata in the general Joomla configuration in this case?

If I am right, in the latter case, the metadata of the Joomla configuration will appear on all pages that have not defined their own metadata.

Can you give me any indication?

Thank you very much,

Best regards

Hello,

To add that feature, you need to open the files view.html.php for the view you wish to custom, for example, for the home page :
- Open the file components/com_adsmanager/views/front/view.html.php and just before the line parent::display($tpl); add this :
[code type=php]
$params = $menu->getParams();

if ($params->get('menu-meta_description'))
{
$document->setDescription($params->get('menu-meta_description'));
}

if ($params->get('menu-meta_keywords'))
{
$document->setMetadata('keywords', $params->get('menu-meta_keywords'));
}
[/code]

Best regards.

Many thanks Loic,

I've tried this as you indicated, but when you enter the Home page everything is blank, the content does not appear. I do not see at the moment what the reason is.

Thank you very much,

Hello again,

My apologies, I have already solved this.

Thank you very much for your response Loic.

One last thing, please:

To make these overrides I must make them in the original view.html.php files in the different views (front, lis, edit). Then, when I update the AdsManager component I will have to make the changes to the files again.

This is not a problem, but I have discovered the following extension:

EFSEO - Easy Frontend SEO

At the following URL:

https://joomla-extensions.kubik-rubik.de/efseo-easy-frontend-seo


As I see it, this extension would allow me to control the metadata of all the pages included (HOME, ALL ADS & POST AD) without needing to make changes in the .php files

Do you think it is an interesting extension? Or is it better for me to make the changes you have indicated?

Many thanks again Loic,

Best regards,

Hello,

If that extension do the job then go for it :).

Just do a backup before trying it, you never know what may happen.

Best regards.
