Nodewords
This project allows you to set some meta tags for each Drupal page.
Giving more attention to the important metadata such as keywords and description on some of your nodes allows you to get better search engine positioning (given that you really only provide the keywords which exist in the node body itself, and do not try to lie).
The project may also be known under following names: Nodewords, Node (key)words, or Meta tags.
Nodewords is the name of both the project and the main module (nodewords.module), which implements a public API used by the other modules of the project.
What's the difference between this module and Integrated Metatags? Have a look at this forum topic, including all comments, for a functional comparison of this module with the Integrated Metatags module.
Related modules
Starting from nodewords-5.x-1.9 the following modules extend the nodewords functionality:
- Meta tags Node Type, by hanoii
- Meta Tags by Path, by Shannon Lucas
The latest development snapshot (6.x-1.x-dev), and version 6.x-1.1 or higher implement a functionality similar to the one implemented in the module Meta Tags by Path
, which is not anymore required for those versions.
To assure compatibility between Nodewords and Meta tags Node Type, use the latest version available of Nodewords and Meta tags Node Type; previous versions are not compatible with the recent changes in Nodewords.
Notes
When you update the project files to a later version, always delete the old files before to copy the new ones.
Some files could have been renamed, and you would have old files together new files. This would create problems, and would make update.module report you still installed the older version.
Version notes
Drupal 6 versions
Branch 6.x-1 is currently developed. Updating between different releases of the development snapshot are not supported; if you install it, you need to remove the previous release before to install the new release.
For a smooth update from version 6.x-1.1 or higher to version 6.x-1.3, see #613376: How to downgrade broken nodewords 1.1+ to 1.0 for a smooth upgrade to 1.3.
Branch 6.x-2 is not developed anymore, and it has never been a supported version. It is not backward compatible with the latest versions of branch 6.x-1; if you are using branch 6.x-2, you need to uninstall it, as there isn't an downgrade path for branch 6.x-1.
Branch 6.x-3 is still unsupported, at the moment. Use it if you want to help in testing it, and finding any possible issues.
The upgrade from branch 6.x-1 to 6.x-3 is possible only from version 6.x-1.6 or higher.
Updates from different releases of version 6.x-3.x-dev is at the moment not supported; you always need to uninstall the previous version, and install the new version.
Drupal 5 versions
It is still possible to download version 5.x-1.12, if version 5.x-1.13 gives you problems; version 5.x-1.13 has been built from the latest development snapshot for Drupal 5. The version for Drupal 5 is not anymore supported, nor developed.
Support
Version 6.x is fully supported; version 5.x, 4.7.x or earlier are no longer supported.
