Google picking up code in description? 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago  
Hey,

I've noticed that
Code:


"jseblod::submit_a_venue::/jseblod::::default_action::::/default_action::::ven_name::::/ven_name::::ven_type::Canal::/ven_type::::ven_price::free::/ven_price ..."



appears in the description of my page on google search (see attached image)

Have i done something wrong, is there a way to get a more pleasing description?

Thanks.

May be meta description is wrong or just the content of that site.

Best is to create the template via the backend function.

Hi,

Google see what you have in your html page. So, in this case Google saw your page when there was some error on it.

In this case, it's not meta description but first caracters of your page (not good displayed).

There is none problem with jSeblod CCK and Google. If you see well your page, Google will see the same.

Best Regards

Hi Bes

I have just looked at the page via Google and found the source page.

www.fish-britain.co.uk/?option=com_conte...h-east&Itemid=80

Looking at the source code of the output page, the reason Google has indexed that info is because the Description metatag contains the following:

Code:

  <meta name="title" content="Hempholme Canal" />
  <meta name="author" content="Steve" />
  <meta name="description" content="::jseblod::submit_a_venue::/jseblod::::default_action::::/default_action::::ven_name::::/ven_name::::ven_type::Canal::/ven_type::::ven_price::free::/ven_price::::ven_spec::Pike, Roach, Perch, Eel," /



derkoi - do you have any plugins installed to automatically create the Meta Descrtiption tag? If so, I think that is the cause because it is reading the article in its raw state containing the jSeblod meta information. It is not working through jSeblod CCK. Checking the source on a couple of other pages on your site shows the same, so I do think it is a plugin not interfacing correctly with jSbelod CCK. It would be helpful if you could say which one as there may be a way to fix it.

Hi,

Thanks for the help. I'm using SEOSimple for control the title of the site, could that be the issue?

Hi derkoi

I just tested this extension in a Sandbox and yes, this is the cause. If you disable the plugin the meta description which displays the jSeblod meta field data is not shown in the page source.

That isn't of course what you want. There is a How-To by Bes on doing this type of thing in your content form template - see here: www.jseblod-cck.com/forum/78-tips-and-tr...-dynamic-fields.html

The alternative is to modify the SEOSimple.php file of the plugin to access a jSeblod field for your meta description content. The line of code that is causing this is line 155 which is:

Code:

 $thecontent = $article->text;
so it is pulling the full text from the raw article rather than using the pattern of the content type which jSeblod manages before the page the web visitor views is rendered.

Peter, thanks a lot for taking the time to help me.

I'm using SEOsimple to control the page titles only, perhaps another plgin would be better?

I could edit the php file of seosimple, but i'm unsure what to edit it to.

If you only need to set the meta title tag then you don't any plugin as the that tag is set to whatever you set for the Title of your article and also appears in the Title bar of the visitor's browser.

I wanted my website title to be at the start:

Fish Britain | Site News & Updates

Without the plugin it just says "Site News & Updates"

hence why i'm using it.

OK, I understand.

I haven't tried this plugin, but it sounds as though it should do what you want:
