xfish meta (plugin for meta tags)
Update:
I have improved on xfish_meta a lot and renamed it to Another Wordpress Meta Plugin. Please use new plugin instead of xfish.
Download: xfish_meta_0.8.tgz ,xfish_meta_0.8.phps
Old Versions: xfish_meta_0.7.tgz ,xfish_meta_0.7.phps
With xfish_meta you can easily insert META information into your posts and pages. Internally, these are stored as custom fields for posts/pages, so you can edit them with the built-in mechanism for custom fields. But you don’t have to. Starting with 0.7 you get easy to use text fields for descriptions and keywords that get updated every time you save your post or page, and 0.8 brought this for pages, too.
Please enjoy and don’t forget to give feedback on the new release!
With xfish_meta you can easily insert META information, like keywords and description, into your posts. When editing your post, just scroll to the “Custom Fields”, open them, and insert a custom field for keywords (comma-separated) and description.
Starting with version 0.6, xfish_meta puts out meta tags for single posts only.
Features:
- You don’t have to mess around with custom fields anymore. Whenever you edit/write a post there are text input lines for keywords and description which you can use. Of course, under the hood these are still saved as custom fields, so you can access them as before if you prefer.
- Xfish_meta will not only output the meta information for single posts but for every number of conglomerated posts (e.g., index page, category pages, archives etc.) I still feel that this is the right thing to do. There are a myriad of other ways how to do this, though. Feel free to change the code in any way you like (and open source the result).
Compatibility: Xfish_meta works with wordpress 2.0.4, of course it should work with older versions and newer ones too.
Screenshot: (This is a real old one, for wordpress 1.5.x, and you don’t have to use this anymore, not even for your pages)

Hey, nice and easy plugin but here is some problem, how to set keywords and description for my main index page blog? because i can’t do it from admin panel…think need add some php code like “if”….how to fix it?

and another:
i think better add function like:
if no set any description/keywords to any pages/posts - meta can be generate from main setting like usually
if custom field set - generate custom data…
it will be better…

[…] Important ! WordPress-ul nu ofera “by default” posibilitatea crearii metatag-urilor pentru fiecare pagina in parte, aici intervine un plugin numit XFish Meta. Cu acest plugin veti putea da fiecarei pagini o descriere si cuvintele cheie dorite prin definirea unor campuri “custom fileds” keywords si description. Rezultatul va arata asa: […]

> meta can be generate from main setting like usually
And where would you set/store this setting?
There are at least three places where lots of posts occur:
- index page
- category pages
- archive pages
- search pages
- wordpress pages (not posts)
What would you display in these cases?

1) > And where would you set/store this setting?
Maybe need add new option special for xfish configurate? and add here defaul setting if no data keawords/description for any other pages, posts etc
About my first problem, i hope you understand what i mean, look into your main blog page and you see - and no meta here for main page.
2)About place where nice to be add meta:
- index page
- category pages
- archive pages
- wordpress pages (not posts)
For other any pages setting can be default like i said in p 1 (example for any pages from other plugin etc)

Hi
when i download xfish_meta_0.8.tgz i activated in my admin section but its still says 0.7 version ?
November 1st, 2006 at 8:57 am
Yes, I got the version String wrong
Fixed. You don’t need to update again, because it was really just the version string, the functionality was 0.8

Hi.
The plugin is active and i’m able to add the keywords to the posts.
The problem is i don’t see them anywhere in the source code.

Hi..
This plugin not showing update action in my blog site…. what went wrong….

Nakul, what do you mean by “update action”? Where exactly are you? Btw., xfish is very old. I recommend Another Wordpress Meta Plugin (link in the post above).
