Unfortuntely users like me who use the Site Description for putting long text and ads which isn't really supposed to be a description cannot use this module successfully. My suggestion is to make the global description configurable and don't take it from the site. it also cut off my description to 3 lines of text and this should be documented somewhere. Is there any way to disable description and use only node keywords?

Please use the CVS-HEAD version of nodewords. It will work in Drupal 4.6. (Maybe it is time after all to release the CVS-HEAD version as 4.6...). It does not have a "global description" (yet - that's a good idea actually), but at least you can turn off the output of the description meta tag.

The text is cutoff at 255 characters. For all tags btw. Maybe this should be an option.

So I put this on my TODO list:

  • cutoff length should be an option and/or documented
  • It should be possible to set the description/abstract/... for the frontpage instead of using "site mission" and "site slogan"
  • release CVS-HEAD as 4.6

There is now a setting for the maximum size of the content of a meta tag. See v1.20 (CVS-HEAD).

I'll implement the last part of this: make it possible to create seperate META tags for the frontpage (and so only use site-mission and site-slogan if those META tags are empty *and* the user wants that).

But, I'll implement this for cvs/4.7 and maybe later backport it to 4.6.

Fixed in 4.7.

Instead of using the site slogan and/or site mission, there is now a seperate settings page ("administer >> settings >> meta tags >> front page") to set the meta tags for the front page.
