damienmckennaI hope you mean 1.14 ;-)
The module (currently) uses permissions to control who gains access to what meta tags on the edit forms, so if you are logged in as either user 1 or someone who has the "administer meta tags" permission you'll see all of the meta tags.

mattwmc commentedIs there a way to revert?
Comment #3
damienmckennaIt depends on what version you were using before. I do know that if you had customized any Dublin Core meta tags they'll stop showing due to changes in how they're handled, but otherwise I'm not sure off-hand.
Comment #4
mattwmc commentedNo. I just used keywords and description.
That's why I don't want all the other stuff to show as it's been said to be basically useless.
Supposedly google doesn't even pay attention to keywords much anymore, but yahoo and bing do.
I think I was using 1.12.
When I updated it said something about being a big change and that tokens wouldn't work etc.
Most likley can't revert. Might be able to hide them with css, though. I gotta look into it. Driving me nuts.

damienmckenna@mattwmc: Keywords is useless these days, you're much better off focusing on the Open Graph meta tags.
If you just adjust the permissions to only grant access to the meta tags you care about it should be just fine.

mr.j commentedReopening because the current UI is way too complicated when an admin user sees all possible meta tags.
For me, using nodewords basic and the open graph tags I am seeing 35 different form controls which cover 4 pages of scrolling on my browser. However the only ones I am ever interested in setting on individual nodes or pages are the Page Title, Description, Keywords, and very rarely the Robots settings. The equivalent OG tags can be set from the content of the title and description.
There needs to be a way for the admin user to control what they can see, same as for other users. I realise this doesn't work with the use of user_access() to determine permissions as it is always going to return true for uid 1.
Failing that, the tags could be grouped into logical fieldsets and collapsed by default unless any one of the child items has been filled in. For example all the OG video tags could go together, same with the OG location tags etc.

damienmckennaPlease collaborate on #2100615: Group meta tags by their type, e.g. basic, advanced, DC, OG.
