It would be great to have them included in nodewords module

Version: 6.x-1.9 » 6.x-1.x-dev

Agreed, it would be good to support these, but only with the latest code, and probably not too high a priority for 6.x.1.12. Likely for the next release, 6.x-1.13.

Tag, you're it.

This is really important, does anyone know how this can be achieved before these meta tags are included in the nodeword module? any quick solution?

You could always write your own small module that implements the API to provide the meta tags in the meantime, that way you don't have to patch or hack.

Hi David, how do we do that?

If that is easy to do any chance you can help the community?

Thank you.

By the way WP already has its own plugin for this

Any quick help will be greatly appreciated.

Good to see this discussed. I just saw the Google article via Slashdot and wanted to bring it to your attention. Would love to see the new metatags added.

De-tagging, will review priorities after the next stable release.

I'm sorry, I just started to Use Drupal.org, so I write here. A supplement to the module version 6.x-1.11, which allows you to add the above tag. The file is attached...

This needs to be presented as a normal Drupal patch, I might see if I can add it myself.

I did for personal use. If this interests you can later make a patch.

This patch adds three new tags - Standout, Syndication Source and Original Source. Due to some of the rules regarding these tags, the following has been implemented:

  • The tags can only be used on nodes.
  • There's a new option on nodes to hide the canonical URL. This will stop it from being automatically generated, which is recommended when using the Syndication Source.
  • Both the Standout and Original Source tags can have multiple values.

FYI the syndication-source meta tag has been deprecated and will be removed: #1776810: "syndication-source" meta tag has been deprecated
