Make description different from teaser possible

This seems similar to http://drupal.org/node/16970.

You make a valid point that "excerpt", "teaser" and "(meta-)description" have subtile different semantics. One has to wonder how many times someone is willing to enter almost similar text though if she has "excerpt" AND "this module with meta-description-support" installed.

I think a seperate description field for nodewords should be provided by "excerpt".

In my own private CMS, I've solved this issue in the template, by automatically putting the meta description text as the first paragraph of text and the teaser. This is what search engines seek: integrity. That what you say is what you do.

Indeed, from an SEO-perspective, the teaser can be different, but the first paragrah after the first
should better be the same as the meta description, if you want integrity.

I realize that this is not the solution for every case, but I think this should be the default, since is it is perfect for SEO.

Sorry for the bold letters - it was a mistake.

Is it really necessary to make the first paragraph of the body the same as the description for SEO? If this is the case, maybe nodewords should prepend the description to the body? But what about HTML then, as you said, a description doesn't have HTML in it, while I think someone would like some kind of HTML in the first paragraph of the body text.

nodewords.module now has a seperate DESCRIPTION and ABSTRACT tag in CVS-HEAD.

Note that the "nodewords" table has changed! Please read "README.txt" carefully!

Note that this is a large amount of new code. Please test and see if you encounter any bugs. Please open a new issue if you do!!

Is this functionality going to be added to the 4.6 version?

If not, will the CVS version work on a 4.6 Drupal installation?

Is this functionality going to be added to the 4.6 version?

No. Because this functionality needs a database table change, I prefer not to backport this to 4.6.

If not, will the CVS version work on a 4.6 Drupal installation?

No. Although the reason for this is quite small: I think only the 'check_output' → 'check_markup' API change. I'm not sure. I'll look into it and come back to you.

No, I've tried version 1.10 (the version before check_markup) with the DB changes, and form_group_collapsible still gives an error when trying to update a node. Version 1.9 is the last HEAD version which works OK with drupal 4.6.

I think nodewords CVS-HEAD will now work in 4.6, all functionality except setting an alternative description/abstract/... for a taxonomy pages because that is not possible in Drupal 4.6 (I need hook_taxonomy('form pre')). See: http://drupal.org/node/29159.
