Meta tags display only on new content types [#1322276]

Hi,

Firstly thanks for the module! It's simple to use yet does everything required. I'll be using it on all my sites I think, because for the most part you turn it on and it works.

I had one issue with startup, and that was it wouldn't output the tags on older content. I created a new content type with new content, and everythings fine.

For my current and future projects this is no problem, but I want to use it on some past projects, but don't want to re-create the content and content types just to get the tags showing up.

Any tips for getting round this? Is this fixed in the dev version?

Many thanks, Joe

I did not manage to reproduce this behavior.
Steps that I have performed:

Installed 'Standard' profile
Created node 1, promoted to the front page
Created node 2, not promoted to the front page
installed metatags_quick
attached description and keywords to the Basic page content type
in node/1/edit and node/2/edit entered desctiption and keywords
added new content type test_page
attached description and keywords to test_page
Created node 3 of test_page content type

in all three nodes meta is displayed properly.
As several people experience the same problem, it definitely exists. But I also need some reproducible scenario to find it

Thanks for having a look - I'll see if I'm experiencing this on another site and give you access if you like?

Also, which table are te meta tags stored in?

Many thanks, Joe

Hi,

After a lot of debugging I found it was a relatively simple solution. Traced it back to the Panels module, and found that you need to add the meta tags fields to the display in order for them to appear in the html head. I guess this is because they are actual fields in drupal 7. NB They don't appear on screen though when you add them - just in the html head.

So it wasn't that node types created before the installation of meta tags quick didn't work - it's just that they were already themed using Panels, and so did not have these fields included into their templates.

The meta tags module is working great now, and is a really good solution to getting the meta data into nodes. I hope it does carry on as a project in it's own right.

Thanks for a great module... joe
