Please help test the v6.x-1.x-dev release so that we can get a solid, stable and usable v6.x-1.12 out the door.

I just downloaded the 6.x-1.x-dev version. I started with an empty {nodewords} table.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Prep:
1.1 Disable all caching in the test site.
1.2 Installed and enable 6.x-1.x-dev NodeWords module.
1.3 Set desired options in NodeWords config. (I can provide list of options if desired, as a SQL dump of the variable table entries; please let me know which ones I should provide)

2. Edit a taxonomy term and enter a nodewords description string in the provided form field, then save the changes

3. Bring up taxonomy term page for the recently edited term

4. View Source in the browser. The description entry does not appear in the generated metadata for the taxonomy page (there is no meta name="description" entry in the generated HTML)

5. Re-edit the taxonomy term page, the nodewords description field is empty.

6. Dumping the database table {nodewords} using a SQL query shows that there is a row for description:
mtid, type, id, name, content
'4546', '1', '0', 'description', 'a:1:{s:5:"value";s:0:"";}'

I'm not sure what's going on, but it appears that I cannot set a custom nodewords description for a taxonomy term.

I have not tried to set custom values for the other fields, so I cannot say if this problem is specific to the 'description' field.

Please advise.

Am I testing the correct version? Per the project page, I'm trying to help get to a stable release.

I see many issues in the queue related to this problem, but all are marked 'fixed'.

This is a duplicate of an older issue that has dragged itself up from the grave after we (read: DaveReid and quicksketch) figured the best way forward was to go back to 1.11. Right now we're working re-applying all of the previous fixes to 1.11 and will have a more stable version available in a few days.

Ouch. How can I help?

I really need this module, it seems to have some problems left hanging... one of which bit me in the behind recently.

Is there anything I can help with? Testing? Patches? I've been a Drupal module developer in the past (ed_classified, ed_readmore, adsense_injector) and I've recently regained ownership of the adsense_injector module... so I can help debug, code, generate patches, etc.

Hi

I think I'm experiencing the same issue

Version nodewords: 6.x-1.11
Additional info: Using this with ubercart. My taxonomy pages are the "catalog" pages.

On nodelevel everything works fine.

However, on taxonomy level for a term I do:
- add a keyword in the keyword field
- add a description in the description field
- save
- go back the edit page of the term, the data is gone (empty fields)
- also, the meta data is not correctly showing up in the source of the resulting taxonomy page. Instead, default values are shown: meta keyword = term name, meta description = term description.

Almost the same happens by adding a taxonomy page in "other pages" in the meta tag config screen. Keyword and description not saved. However, here, there are no default values, so the keyword and description show up empty in the source of the resulting page.

Please advice!

Lets consolidate all effort to get term metadata to save under this issue: #672096: Meta tags are not saved for taxomony terms or vocabularies
