does the new version of script read meta tags? i am thinking about buying a pro version, but reading meta tags is a must. thanks

Hello pandha,
What do you mean "read mete tags"?

[pandha]

... so a user doesnt have to fill in fields like title and description, but after giving an url of the page the script automatically reads. when saying meta tags i mean:

for example:
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow" />
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-2" />
<title>bla bla bla</title>
<meta name="description" content="this page is about bla bla" />
<meta name="keywords" content="bla, blaa, blaaaa, ble" />

for example indexu [directory script] when adding a website makes it possible. here you have a polish version of this script. if you write an url and click the button next to it, the meta tags will be copied to proper fields.

Yes pandha, you can train the script to make it (we will help you with pleasure).

For example (Maybe you will use it later):
***Open view-link.php and find code***

/** breadcrumb formation **/
$bc['viewlink']['url'] = '';
$bc['viewlink']['caption'] = $gDirLang['view_link'];
$breadcrumb = $gDirLayout->print_breadcrumb($category['id'], $bc, 1);
$gDirSmarty->assign_by_ref('breadcrumb', $breadcrumb);

***Below this code add***

$gDirSmarty->assign_by_ref('view_link', $view_link);

***Save file***
***Open templates/yourTemplate/header.tpl and find code***

<meta name="description" content="{$description}" />

***Replace with following***

<meta name="description" content="{if $view_link}{$link.description}{else}{$description}"{/if} />

***Save file***
That's all :)

thanks, i tried it with a free script, but unfortunately, i see no difference. is it possible to implement the changes to your demo, so i could see how it works? i know that many people who are owners of web directories think it's a very important thing.

Hello pandha,

I think, I understand what you meant. I need 3-4 of days that I will make modification.

hi, to make it clear, have a look at this script:

if you write an url and click fetch meta tags, you will see what i mean ;)
