Does exactly what it says. Very easy to use even with no experience. Well worth installing. Cheers for a great extension.

I used it to add different keywords to individual products in a Virtuemart Shop.



With Joomla Core SEF, the keywords on each product are always the same (the ones chosen for the site), but thanks to Tag Meta, I managed to modify that.

N more needs to hack Joomla core to remove the tag "generator"(for security reasons!) and allows you to customize every page title at will. Long life to this component!

Recommended extension.

If you have some knowledge of regular expressions this plugin makes anything possible to add individual META-informations to any of your pages, that otherwise would show the default site METAs. I just made 2 small 1-minute-hacks to have a TEXTAREA instead of a limited INPUT field for META-descriptions.

But that's no reason to vote worse than 5 stars!

I have to copy many pages from an old internet site with very good SE rankings (incl. category, section, sitemap views) to Joomla. This component helps us to retain our rankings and additional informations for users and bots on ANY page.

Thank you, developer!

Thank you for this wonderful tool. It's absolutely necessary to cover the lack of Joomla native section and category meta description availability. Sections and categories must have their own meta in order to avoid that google detects duplicate titles and descriptions!

What a great extension!



It puts pay to the annoying missing META tags in section and category blog views. This is something I keep trying to improve on. I have tried virtually all the tools available, to beat this problem while sticking with the core sef. Even numerous combinations of tool at times and all had a weak point.



What I have been trying to achieve is a low/no maintenance automated solution to this poor SEO behaviour.



This extension doesn't fully automate the process but it dramatically reduces the time required maintaining it. Unless you are regularly creating new section and category blogs, in which case you will need to put in some effort.



The new Pro version released today, extends the options available in the community version.



For many users the community version maybe enough as it is an extremely powerful meta tool with it's feature set. However the cost of the Pro version, comes to little more than buying the developer a couple of beers, upgrading to pro is a no brainer!



The power of this tool is in the application of regular expression to control the actions of the plugin.



The developer has applied sound logic to this problem. Less is more with this extension! The developer has designed this tool to work in harmony with the core SEF/SEO. What this means is, content rendered in article view needs no extra intervention from this meta tool, Joomlas core manages it just fine.



At the most basic level you just need to apply this extension to menu items for section and category blogs.



The beauty of this product is that you can get more involved when and where you chose.



The developer also offers a url redirect tool called ReDj, available as a community or Pro version with the same pricing policy. The tool uses the same regular expression and macro techniques to redirect incoming urls.



The combination of these two extensions provides amazing control of meta data and urls.



Now here is the deal closer, you can use it to apply meta data to components, which don't allow for inclusion of meta data and with ReDj you can control the url, the pro version allows this to be done using server side redirection (nice).



All for the price of a few beers!



Other commercial solutions have a hefty annual fee, require a reasonable amount of maintenance and in some cases additional plug-in support, for other joomla extensions and they still have their own little quirks.



I hope I have done justice to the genius behind this solution.



If you are worried about the thought of regular expression rules don't panic! The documentation explains in more than enough detail, how to manage your urls for everyday use.



I would like to make one suggestion to the developer. I think it would be nice to have an input field with a radio on/off, which allows for a pre-append to the end of the site url. This would allow for site development on sites in subdirectories.

i.e http://domain.not/dev {siteroot} (as far as I can work out) doesn't allow a rule to be applied like so ^/section/blog.html$ the rule required would be ^/dev/section/blog.html$ in which case, moving to a live server in public root or a subdirectory of a different name, would require a change to /dev or its removal. I hope that makes sense.



Sorry for such a protracted review. With so many extensions available on here gems like this are easily overlooked by old and new hands at joomla. IMHO the combination of these two products, will give many old faithful SEO/SEF extensions a run for their money.



Great work, and thank you for making the price point of the pro versions accessible to all.

I just installed Tag Meta and it works right away. It's easy to figure out how to do things with it, even without reading the manual. Recommended extension.

Did exactly what it said it would do, I needed a seo component that would allow meta tags in multiple pages. Took me awhile to find one that offered the capability...



Thanks

I have used quite a few meta tag management extensions, however most others are too complex or have a few issues that that are yet to be resolve, this one is by far the simplest and easiest to use and it functions as it says it will.



If you use this extensions, make sure you READ the instructions available in the PDF file downloadable for this extension and it will save you time and allow you to really use this small tool to the maximum benefit.



The use of the '$' syntax at the end of each URI enables you to control each and every items matadata, it cannot get any simpler :)



Well done to the Dev's on this one (donation has been sent) and I look forward to any future updates and other any other extensions from you.

It take a little bit of getting used to but it does exactly what I want it to do.

Thanks for a very good extension!
