    Will this package work with the newer Schema in 4.5 and above?

    Using 4.7 and wonder if this will work/install OK?

    Thanks

    Looking through this forum I think I need to add this:

     

    <meta name="description" content='<umbraco:Item field="metaDescription" recursive="true" runat="server" />'>

     <meta name="keywords" content='<umbraco:Item field="metaKeywords" recursive="true" runat="server" />'>

    of which I have done - and my page is rendered fully white with no content :(

    I'm using the Runway starter Business site and added the code to the Starter Kit Master Template just under:

     

    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">

    <head id="head" runat="server">

    <meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">


    Any thought's about what I'm doing wrong?
    Entering this code manually as below works fine:
    <title>Page title goes here - A bit of description here</title>
    <meta name="Keywords" content="a few descriptive words here, separated by commas"/>
    Cheers
    Lea

    Hi Lea

    Unfortunately I'm not sure what the solution to your problem is.

    But when you're in doubt if a package is compatible with the Umbraco version you're using you can always start out by checking this WIKI entry http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/packaging/umbraco-45-compatibility/umbraco-45-package-testing - If the package has not been tested it's always a good idea to have a local installation on, which you can make a test installation.

    Does the content on your page disappear when you're using this package or just when you insert the above meta tags?

    Hi Jan

    You've helped so much with other posts I just wanted to say a thank you - shame there aren't more of you!

    That's a great link of which I wasn't aware of - cheers.  and ah, this package isn't tested as yet :(  

    However I just checked Cultiv  Search Engine Sitemap and it's running fine on my Umbraco 4.6 and 4.7, but it's listed as NOT OK.  There is also an update on their page saying supports 4.5 and up, so I'm not sure how up to date the testing list is?

    Sorry I wasn't clearer.  The page renders blank when I add this line:

    <!--<umbraco:Macro Alias="GetMetaTags" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
    <meta name="description" content='<umbraco:Item field="metaDescription" recursive="true" runat="server" />'>
    <meta name="keywords" content='<umbraco:Item field="metaKeywords" recursive="true" runat="server" />'>
    -->

    hence it's commended out at the moment ;-)

    If I'm honest it's not something that I need to pass on to clients as I can configure this manually by adding the meta data, but I was just thinking of future requests.  There's always someone who want's something LOL!

    Thanks again

    Lea

    Hi Lea

    Thanks for the kind words. It's all about trying to help each others out and learning from one another, right? :-)

    Sorry for my late reply...the last couple of days have been a bit manic.

    You probably got a point that the list has not been updated for a while - but in some cases it's a good rule of thumb to check this page. Perhaps there should be made some sections or new wiki entries for 4.7 though? But fortunately members of this nice community can do that themselves :-)

    Did you ever mange to get this one solved?

    I think that the reason why it does not work is probably because the XSLT file in the macro is trying to match the legacy xml schema, which is used on older version before the release of version 4.5.

    You can convert the XSLT file to match the new schema using Tommy Poulsens converter tool here: http://blackpoint.dk/umbraco-workbench/tools/convert-xml-schema-to-45-.aspx?p=2

    Hope this helps.

    /Jan

    Hi Jan

    Hoping I'm adding a bit back to the community too as I've resolved a few issues recently and like to update my posts with answers also :)

    TBH I haven't pursued this, but thanks for the converter link.... :) :)

    Keep in touch :)

    Got it working! I had the same issues running Metatags for Umbraco on 4.7, but I got it working by copying the entire GetMetaTags.xslt into the converter here (http://blackpoint.dk/umbraco-workbench/tools/convert-xml-schema-to-45-.aspx) and then pasting it back into the GetMetaTags. It even runs with head set to to runat="server". The only thing it still does funny is it creates an extra "<title></title>" at the end. However, the title still works perfectly as the browser renders the first title it finds, which was rendered correclty by the xslt.
