Makoto Posted March 15, 2019 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 Posted March 15, 2019 I've raised your suggestion internally for consideration in a future release. crmarks, SeNioR- and Subdreamer 3
Subdreamer Posted March 18, 2019 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. Makoto and AlexJ 1 1
Bluto Posted July 2, 2019 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
bfarber Posted July 8, 2019 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.
SeNioR- Posted November 5, 2020 Posted November 5, 2020 Bump! Will this feature be added in IPS 4.5? Thanks.
bfarber Posted November 5, 2020 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. SeNioR- 1

Will profiles ever have standard basic meta tags?
