This simple Joomla 1.5 plugin simply takes the starting chunk of text from the page’s content and applies that as the value for the meta description tag in the page’s head. Search engines often use a Web page’s meta description in the SERPs, and as such it is important that these meta descriptions have relevant text related to the page’s content. New features in SEOSimple (new since autoMetaDescSEO): ** Ability to customize how the front page meta description is handled. You can now chose between having it auto generated based on the front page's content, or using the default Joomla site-wide meta desc. ** HTML page title configuration. Set your page titles in three different ways: 1. [CONTENT TITLE] | [SITE NAME] 2. [SITE NAME] | [CONTENT TITLE] 3. [CONTENT TITLE] (Joomla 1.5 default) You can also customize what the separator is (in this ex. it's a pipe, can be any character). ** Additionally, you can customize the front page of your site's title tag to display a custom string. So rather than just have: Home | [SITE NAME] -or- Front Page | [SITE NAME] You can have one of four different layouts: [a custom string] | [SITE NAME] [SITE NAME] | [a custom string] [a custom string] [SITE NAME] All feedback is greatly appreciated and will go towards making future versions even better. Enjoy! ** History ** v1.0 - April 28/08 - This project was formerly called autoMetaDescSEO, but as new features were added, the name didn't really fit (did it ever? man, bad name) and so it was retitled and reversioned starting at 1.0. v1.1 - July 6/08 - A quick release to add some additional front-page title functionality. v1.2 - July 25/08 - Another maintenance release to add better support for auto-generated meta descriptions on Section and Category pages. Also features better UTF-8 support and description word wrapping. v1.3 - September 4/08 - Put in some error checking for the PHP4 bug that was hitting users with the old PHP4 engine on their servers (note: we still suggest you upgrade to PHP5 - not only will it solve the previous problem with this plugin, PHP5 is now four years into replacing PHP4, it's just time to make that switch).
