Header Plugin for Embedded Blog
Posted: Mon Jul 06, 2015 8:54 am
Being new to blogging I am still trying to get my head around how Serendipity works.
But so far I have managed to get my blog up and running and also embedded the Clean Blog template into it.
For the embedded method I followed the instructions for the 'indexFile' option.
But where I appear to be locked in, is that I seem to have no flexibility for the content in my html <head> code.
I would like to be able to the change code there for my 'description' and 'keyword' tags to match the blog content and also for the 'twitter' meta tags for Twitter and 'og' meta tags for Facebook, LinkedIn and Google+. I change these tags on each of my web pages to make them more SEO relevant and relevant when someone wants to Tweet my page, etc.
This obviously needs to be done at page level for each separate post.
I have looked at and tested both the 'HTML META-Tags' and 'HTML-Code inside head (HTML-Head Nugget)' plugins with the 'HTML-Code inside head (HTML-Head Nugget)' seeming to only cater for the top level of the blog and the 'HTML META-Tags' plugin at least giving the ability to add things at page level, but neither of these two plugins seem to work with an Embedded blog anyway.
The 'HTML META-Tags' plugin also seems to be limited with what you can add anyway.
With the 'indexFile' option of embedding, you get only one 'wrapper.php' that directs the browser to include the Serendipity index.php file and only one 'content.php' template file.
This is all done at the top level not at page level. It would be nice if I could create a separate 'wrapper.php' and 'content.php' for each separate post, so that I can then edit each 'content.php' page to be applicable to the content of the post.
Am I overlooking a plug-in that is already available that does this or is there another work-around for it that I cannot see at the moment?
Surely all existing Serendipity users who, in particular, want to post a link with relevant content to Facebook or Twitter have a way to do this as it seems that I can post a comment to Twitter or my Facebook page with an image and title relevant to the blog page from most other blog pages that I read?
Thank you.
