The description metatag is not created in the source code for the node type. Only the global description is generated, not the specific node discription. For the Global frontpage it works ok.

Tested with text and tokens ([node:summary]) in the node type description setting. And with and without text in the node summary field.

I guess, your problem refers to the following core bug: http://drupal.org/node/1178580
There's also a patch included, which is made for D8, but the code is still the same as in D7, so you can apply it (there are only a few lines, so I changed the code lines manually instead of applying it via IDE - I'm not sure, if the line numbers are still the same)

Try it out, I had the same problem and now it works.

I installed this patch when I installed Meta tags a few day's agoo. It is not the issue I am talking about.

The node description in the Meta tag "node type"(!!!) is not placed in the head of the page, also after install of this patch.

I recently just had this problem. I think you just have to clear your caches. Please confirm after clearing caches if this is still a problem.

I updated from alpha1 to alpha2, uninstalled alpha1 complete and made a new alpha2 installation.

Cleared caches a lot of times: but did not help.

Global and Global frontpage works fine!!

On a node page I have the metatags (description, keywords and title) of the Metatag Global settings in the head, despite of the settings in admin/config/search/metatags/config/node or node/x/edit (the Metatag in the node edit form).

Take a look at the page sourcecode http://www.cmseasy.nl/drupal. Metatag settings (admin/config/search/metatags) are default (description: [node:summary], no keywords).

Or http://www.cmseasy.nl/civicrm, default setting in the admin, in de node edit form description tag: "CiviCRM is a Constituent Relationship Management system" and keywords: "CiviCRM,Constituent,Relationship,Management", title the text: "Hello"

The meta tags are not in the head of the sourcecode of this pages, the title tag is from Global.

Your node output doesn't seem to be typical core node output. What module are you using to display nodes or change the way nodes are displayed?

Typical node output:

<div id="node-1" class="node node-article node-full clearfix" about="/content/my-node" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document">
  ...
</div>

Your node output:

<div class="node node-page view-mode-full group-one-sidebar group-sidebar-right clearfix">
  ...
</div>

Title: No meta name description in type node » No meta name description in type node with display suite ge

I am using Display Suite.

I made a test, by changing a nodetype page-view from Display Suite to default Drupal, and yes: the Metatags are present in the head!! (http://www.cmseasy.nl/service/bestaande-html-website-naar-cms-omzetten).

Conclusion: Metatag and Display suite don't work together.

I will make a new feature request for that. (http://drupal.org/node/1284852)
