Releases for Meta tags

Straightforward port of nodewords-5.x-1.8-rc1 to Drupal 6.x.

It currently does not have support for views or panels. If you use views or panels, reopen this issue when a stable or -rc release of those modules is available, we will then readd support for them.

This release may have bugs, please test!

This is a complete rewrite of nodewords module to allow the definition of any meta tag (not only the limited builtin ones), to allow the use of tokens, to allow the definition of DublinCore meta tags, to allow , and meta tags, to improve integration with views or panels (read arguments), to allow different defaults and/or meta tags for different content types, views or panels (aka contexts), ...

This first commit has nothing useful yet. It does not create any meta tags in the HTML HEAD. It does not allow you to edit meta tags. It does not upgrade correctly from previous versions. Etc.

DO NOT USE IT unless you are interested in the way the module is going to.

DO NOT UPGRADE TO IT because all data will be lost.

DO NOT USE ON PRODUCTION SITES because it is ALPHA or even PRE-ALPHA code.

Release candidate. Should have support for panels v1 and panels v2. Please test.

Port of Drupal 6.x. Not fully tested yet.

5.x-1.6 contained a stupid last-minute, not-enough-testing mistake which even opened security holes if you allow users to specify the alt attribute of an image in a node. See SA-2008-008 - Meta tags - Arbitrary code execution for the advisory.

No new features compared to 4.7. First public release for Drupal 5.

No new features will be added to this version. Only bug fixes will be applied.

Features

• The current supported meta tags are ABSTRACT, COPYRIGHT, DESCRIPTION and KEYWORDS.
• You can define a global set of KEYWORDS that will appear on each page of your site. Node specific keywords are added before these global keywords.
• You can tell "nodewords" to add all terms of some specified vocabularies to the KEYWORDS meta tag.
• You can define a global COPYRIGHT tag. You can optionally override this copyright on one or more node pages.
• You can optionally insert the teaser as a DESCRIPTION tag, if you leave the DESCRIPTION tag empty.
• On taxonomy pages, the term description is used as the DESCRIPTION tag. The term itself is added to the list of KEYWORDS.
• On the front page, the site mission is used as the DESCRIPTION tag. And the site slogan as the ABSTRACT tag. Both are only included when you enable the site mission and/or site slogan in your theme (and if they are set).
• You can select which of these tags you want to output on each page. You can also remove the edit box for these tags from the node edit page if you don't like using it.
• All text of all meta tags are added to the search system so they are searable too.

Other changes compared to version 4.5

• There is no need anymore to modify your site theme as 4.6 will insert the META tags automatically.

No new features will be added to this version. Only bug fixes will be applied.

Changes compared to version 4.6

• Using the new install system, version 4.7 will create the necessary database table automatically when you enable the module.
• The site mission and/or site slogan are no longer used as DESCRIPTION or ABSTRACT on the front page! A seperate settings page ("administer >> settings >> meta tags >> front page") is provided to specify the META tags to use for the front page instead.
• Support for the ROBOTS meta tag.
• Support for the GEOURL meta tag.

Privacy update

Previous versions would inject possible confidential information from the node content inside the DESCRIPTION meta tag, even if (for example an anonymous user) was not allowed to see that content (see: http://drupal.org/node/79181). If you are in this case, please update to the latest version.

Note that this is only the case when you have "use teaser to generate description" enabled. And that if you enter a seperate META description, all users will see it, so be sure not to put confidential information in there.
