Add CB field to title

K, I have a related question.

So I'm working on optimizing my site's SEO these days and another thing that could make a huge change in a CB site is the ability to create a custom meta description tag per profile. For example:

[formatname] is on [sitename]: [cb_field1] since [cb_field2]

Is there a way to do this already now? Is there a code you could provide to add this to compofiler.php.html?

I can't stress enough how essential this is for any site's exposure.

In addition to what I wrote above, I just noticed that a field that is comma separated multi select, (also Unordered list of Ordered list) is translated in the title to |*| instead of a comma. What do I do to resolve this?

No, I've already created a feature request to allow this however.

Is there a code you could provide to add this to compofiler.php.html?

Yes and no; I can't help you with core edits, but below is the API to add to metadata.
$_CB_framework->document->addHeadMetaData( $name, $content );

Thanks Kyle!

I understand you can't help too much with core edits, but I think I got it in the most part, just please, could you tell me if I'm right or am I missing something?

I added this code in comprofiler.php.htm:
$_CB_framework->appendPathWay(getNameFormat($user->name,$user->username,$ueConfig['name_format']));		
//This is my addition to send Metadata Description Tag to HTML
$_CB_framework->document->addHeadMetaData( $user->cb_title.' '.getNameFormat($user->name,$user->username,$ueConfig['name_format']).' | '.$user->cb_teaches.' '.$user->cb_profiletype. ' is on our network. Join us to connect to '.getNameFormat($user->name,$user->username,$ueConfig['name_format']).' and create your own profile for free.' );

Is that enough? Would that add the meta description? Cause when I view the source it doesn't show. Is it not supposed to show?

Also, should I disable the global meta description or would this override the existing global one?

That's not correct, please re-review the function in my previous post. The $name is not the name of the user, but the name of the metadata property such as "description". The $content is where you'd place the contents of the meta description, which could be anything you want as long as it's HTML safe (recommend surrounding it with htmlspecialchars function).

Hey K,

I upgraded to CB 1.7 and now my code that sets the document's Meta Description stopped working.
Could you please let me know what I need to change it to?
$_CB_framework->document->addHeadMetaData( $user->cb_title.' '.getNameFormat($user->name,$user->username,$ueConfig['name_format']).' | '.$user->cb_field1.' '.$user->cb_field2. ' is on our site. Join '.getNameFormat($user->name,$user->username,$ueConfig['name_format']).' now.' );
