Plugin to override Metadata was created by Greystoke

Hi,

Can anyone tell me where I have gone wrong with this CB plugin.

It is not overriding the Meta description.
Am I using the wrong Trigger.

Some of the code has been removed for debugging.

Code:

<?php
if ( ! ( defined( '_VALID_CB' ) || defined( '_JEXEC' ) || defined( '_VALID_MOS' ) ) ) {
	die( 'Direct Access to this location is not allowed.' );
}

global $_PLUGINS;
$_PLUGINS->registerFunction( 'onAfterUserProfileDisplay', 'metaOverride', 'getcbmetaTab' );

class getcbmetaTab extends cbTabHandler {

	function metaOverride( $user ) {
		global $_CB_framework;

		$cbUser				=	CBuser::getInstance( $user->id );

		if ( ! $cbUser ) {
			$cbUser			=	CBuser::getInstance( null );
		}

			$meta_tag		=	'description';
			$meta_data		=	'test';

			if ( $meta_tag && $meta_data ) {
				$_CB_framework->document->addHeadMetaData( $meta_tag, $meta_data );
			}
		}
}
?>

A plugin to adjust metadata shouldn't be necessary. Edit your Joomla menu item to CBs profile page and adjust the metadata there. CB parses for it using our setMenuMeta function and will pass it through substitutions as well (to get the displayed users information be use to use user="#displayed" in your substitutions).

Hi,

The plugin is needed as CB has been modified to allow a user to have multiple profile pages under the one username.

The plugin is getting the correct info from the users profile, but I need to pass that to the Metadata description.

Is it no longer possible to use a plugin to do this in CB 2

That is the appropriate trigger to be acting on, but beyond that I'm not here to debug your code for you; review existing plugins for examples. The easiest approach would be to use CB Auto Actions as it has a Code action with a Method option specifically for adjusting headers easily. Our setMenuMeta function however is executed after that trigger so if you're setting metadata in the menu item it'll override whatever you're doing in that trigger.

Hi,

Not expecting you to debug the code.
The code is fine, the trigger is no good as you said yourself the setMenuMeta function is executed after that trigger.

Is there a trigger that will override the setMenuMeta function.

I didn't want to have to use CB Auto Actions.

Thanks

The trigger works perfectly fine. Your plugin either isn't loaded or your metadata is being overridden. setMenuMeta will not override your metadata if nothing is specified in your Joomla menu item to CBs profile page.

Is there a trigger that will override the setMenuMeta function.

No, just don't specify any metadata in your Joomla menu item to CBs profile page.
