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).

This is the best SEO plugin I have tested. But I encounted the same problem as AmitT. I've got Joomla 1.5.8, tested in traditional and simplified chinese. It is strange that just some charactors are wrongly coded in meta description. Not all of them.
I will adopt it as soon as this problem is resolved.
Thanks.

this plug-in looks nice. but, I have tested it on my site and work for english only. for other languages it make the description in Gibberish.
Owner's reply
Hi Amit, make sure your page is set to UTF-8. I've tested the plugin with Chinese, Arabic, Hindi, Thai, Hungarian, Cyrillic and Hebrew and it seemed to work fine. (See - http://www.daobydesign.com/language-test.html) If you're still having problems, post in the support forum and I'll see what I can do.

This is the best tool for META description and titel, Joomla was driving me crazy and now I found this tool and everything works perfect.
byianmel on November 23, 2008
This puts a real shot in the arm for Joomla 1.5! Its something that should be in the base code. Highly recommended.

This extension fills in the gap in meta handling of such pages as category and section where Joomla setup doesn't allow you to enter any description.
It does have a single problem with UTF handling when it comes to Cyrillic characters, to wit it produces U+FFFD instead of the capital P.

Does exactly what it says it will do, uncomplicated and easy to use! Great extension!

I have been installing and testing SEOSimple today, and it is easy to install and configure. Furthermore, it does its job!
The author of this extension is absolutely right when he tell us to "write a keyword-rich summary in the first paragraph of the article". There I have pretty much more work to do to get my web site more SEO friendly!

j/k
But seriously this is a great extension. Easy to install, easy to setup. Very flexible: you can use global description, 1.5 article description, or SEOSimple automatic description and combine that with either global keywords or article specific keywords.
Great job! Thanks!
