This module provides meta tags for Drupal 7 installations. I started writing it just after Drupal 7 was released. In various reviews, comments, and other posts around the Web, I kept seeing the same thing: people wouldn't try Drupal 7 without support for meta tags, and the successor to Drupal 6's 'Nodewords', the 'Meta tags' module, had no code.
Before I finished the module, the 'Meta tags quick' module was released, a module that provides meta tags through a field type. At first, I felt 'Meta tag simple' provided a solid alternative. But with improvements in that module, and the slow pace of project application approval, I came to look at this as more of an example of what I can do.
Now my project application has been approved, based on this module, and I could turn it into a full project. But code has begun to appear for the 'Meta tags' module, and many find it confusing to have multiple modules providing similar functionality, even if their approach differs. So I have decided to let this remain a sandbox, an example of what I can do.
'Meta tag simple' provides an administrative interface in the node edit form. Options include three meta tags:
- Description
- Copyright
- Keywords
