Description

I'm on Tiki Wiki 29 I enabled the Tiki Tags feature.
I'm using some tags on wiki page and I have set some tags.
But the keyword tags are not displayed in the head.

I went at tiki-admin.php?page=metatags (admin metatags).
I checked that "Include tags" is enabled. But I have also noticed I no Keywords set in the field Keywords.

As result I have no keyword on the page.
If I add just one keyword in the field, on the page i see this keyword but also all other missing keywords.

The condition for the elseif branch only triggers if either metatag_keywords or metatag_local_keywords is non-empty.

NOTE: I don't use forum so I didn't touch anything related to the way the forum fill its keywords. It may worth to have a look at it.

Solution

I fixed and added the "Include tags" in the condition. (at least for me)

Looking at the current code, there are actually two problems:

1. The elseif condition doesn't account for tags at all.
2. Inside the block, the tags inclusion checks $prefs.feature_freetags eq 'y' but never checks $prefs.metatag_freetags eq 'y' (is "Include tags")

I fixed with this (from line 14 to line 18)

Copy to clipboard
{if !empty($forum_info.name) & $prefs.metatag_threadtitle eq 'y'}
    <meta name="keywords" content="{tr}Forum{/tr} {$forum_info.name|escape} {$thread_info.title|escape} {if $prefs.metatag_freetags eq 'y' and isset($tags)}{foreach from=$tags item=taginfo}{$taginfo.tag|escape} {/foreach}{/if}">
{elseif $prefs.metatag_keywords neq '' or !empty($metatag_local_keywords) or ($prefs.metatag_freetags eq 'y' and !empty($tags))}
    <meta name="keywords" content="{if not empty($prefs.metatag_keywords_translated)}{$prefs.metatag_keywords_translated|escape}{if $prefs.metatag_freetags eq 'y' and isset($tags)}, {/if}{elseif $prefs.metatag_keywords neq ''}{$prefs.metatag_keywords|escape}{if $prefs.metatag_freetags eq 'y' and isset($tags)}, {/if}{/if}{if $prefs.metatag_freetags eq 'y' and isset($tags)}{foreach from=$tags item="taginfo"}{$taginfo.tag|escape}, {/foreach}{/if}{$metatag_local_keywords|escape}">
{/if}
