FAQ
Why is the Metadata Plugin important? What does it do? I think we've addressed that here. How do I install the Metadata Plugin? See the documentation! (Note: if upgrading from 4.x to 5.x, make sure to run metaDataSuite.install after doing your root update.) When I try to install the plugin, it complains about regex not being installed. The Metadata Plugin depends on regex (regular expressions). Regex is distributed with Frontier. See your Frontier directory. More information on regex is available here. I've got a form on my web page and the metadata fields are being added to that form! How do I fix this? Easy! Just add a name element to your form. I read on your site about a new feature, but I don't have it. To get new features and updates, you need to update your metadata.root. To do this, bring metadata.root to the front and choose Update Metadata Root (it's the first menu item under the Main menu). After you've updated, you may need to disable and then enable the plugin. For more information, see How to Update the Metadata Plugin. When I go to update metadata.root, it fails and says something about madrid.userland.com. Something has stomped on your user.rootUpdates.servers.metaData table. Delete this table, run metaDataSuite.install again, and the new table will have the correct values. We haven't figured out what's stomping on this table; if you have an idea, let me know. Does every metadata field have to be included in the <HEAD> element? No. If you have a metadata field that you don't want included, choose No under "Include in HEAD" on the Manage Meta Types page. How do I include metadata on a page? Use the showVal or eval macros. Example, to show the page's keywords:
or
I'm trying to use multiple templates, but when I view a template source I see neutered text (<BODY> etc.). Eliminate the blank line between the <HEAD> and <BODY> tags. Does the Metadata Plugin support Radio Userland? No, but see this discussion. John VanDyk developed this plugin to extend Manila. John, a Frontier developer since 1995, maintains the Standard Version and runs this server. David Bayly has made significant contributions. Many others have contributed bug fixes, code, and encouragement. How do I prevent contributing editors from seeing the metaData link in the Editors-Only bar?
