Makoto Posted March 15, 2019 Share Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Profiles on IPS have virtually no meta tags, at all. This could be improved by adding a link to the users avatar and maybe a general description line like so, $description = "Explore {$this->member->name}'s " . \number_format( $this->member->member_posts ) . " posts on " . \IPS\Settings::i()->board_name; $newMeta = [ 'title' => $this->member->name, 'description' => $description, 'og:title' => $this->member->name, 'og:description' => $description, 'twitter:description' => $description, 'og:image' => $this->member->photo, 'profile:username' => $this->member->name, 'og:url' => $this->member->url() ]; \IPS\Output::i()->metaTags = array_merge( \IPS\Output::i()->metaTags, $newMeta ); Otherwise links to profiles contain no description or anything aside the default og:image if you have one set in the settings.

Solution bfarber Posted March 15, 2019 Solution Share Posted March 15, 2019 I've raised your suggestion internally for consideration in a future release. SeNioR-, crmarks and Subdreamer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subdreamer Posted March 18, 2019 Share Posted March 18, 2019 Great question, @Makoto! This feature should be a core IPS feature. In the meantime, I will use your plugin to get around this issue. AlexJ and Makoto 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bluto Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 @bfarber was think something that was going to be implimented in the software? If I add the plugin @Makoto created, I want to make sure I remove it if IPS adds it. Thanks! AlexJ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted July 8, 2019 Share Posted July 8, 2019 It's probable we will revisit the meta tags in an upcoming release, but can't say for certain when or if we'll implement exactly as outlined here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeNioR- Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Bump! Will this feature be added in IPS 4.5? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfarber Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I raised the suggestion internally already. I will say that search engines are increasingly leaning on json+ld over meta tags and we do populate those, but this suggestion remains open in the mean time nevertheless.

Will profiles ever have standard basic meta tags? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
