Hi,

In current version of page title and meta data function setting, it only uses meta description and meta keyword data defined in Joomla configuration. So in Jobboard setting, if you configure to use site description {SITE_DESCRIPTION} for description field, but do not define description in Joomla configuration page, then the description tag will not display.

To resolve this issue, please open the file:
components/com_jajobboard/helper/jafunctions.class.php

Find and replace function replaceContentDocument with following one:
[PHP]function replaceContentDocument($define, $jobs) {
$config = new JConfig();
$define = JText::_($define);

$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$menu = $app->getMenu();
$activeMenu = $menu->getActive();
if(is_object($activeMenu)) {
$params = $activeMenu->params;
$description = $params->get(‘menu-meta_description’, $config->MetaDesc);
$keywords = $params->get(‘menu-meta_keywords’, $config->MetaKeys);
} else {
$description = $config->MetaDesc;
$keywords = $config->MetaKeys;
}

$define = str_replace(“{JOB_TITLE}”, JText::_($jobs->title), $define);
$define = str_replace(“{PROFILE_TITLE}”, JText::_($jobs->title), $define);
$define = str_replace(“{RESUME_TITLE}”, JText::_($jobs->title), $define);
$define = str_replace(“{JOB_DESCRIPTION}”, substr(strip_tags($jobs->job_detail), 0, 155), $define);
$define = str_replace(“{SITE_TITLE}”, JText::_($config->sitename), $define);
$define = str_replace(“{SITE_DESCRIPTION}”, $description, $define);
$define = str_replace(“{SITE_KEYWORDS}”, $keywords, $define);

return $define;
}[/PHP]

This new function is updated to check and get description from setting of active menu item, before getting this data in Joomla configure.

So if you configure description field in Jobboard as {JOB_DESCRIPTION}, please ensure that you update description data in menu setting or Joomla global configuration page.

<blockquote>and the keywords are showing at content field</blockquote>
<blockquote><meta name=”keywords” content=”vakantiewerk, buitenland, bijbanen, stages, toerisme, recreatie, sport, evenementen, seizoenwerk, seizoenswerk” /></blockquote>

This is correct format of meta data tag, you can check in another site for reference.

Thanks, In my global joomla configuration the description is filled in!!! But not showing with the tag {SITE_DESCRIPTION}. The keyword tag is working fine. Because I make multilanguage description in language file, I use: JA_JOBBOARD_REGISTER_DESCRIPTION tag.

I updated the code but still no description! Good to know, description is shown at the job pages and Employer Jobs page but not with job search, job list, employer profile, etc.

This is what I see in the source:
<meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″ />
<meta name=”keywords” content=”vakantiewerk, buitenland, bijbanen, stages, toerisme, recreatie, sport, evenementen, seizoenwerk, seizoenswerk” />
<title>Overzicht: Vakantiewerk, Bijbanen en Stages</title>
