Glen Mazza commented on ROL-1947:
---------------------------------
Hi, the attached patch provides a "Search Description" field for each blog
entry (max length 255 chars), providing the same functionality offered by
Google's Blogger (see attached PNGs for Blogger and what it would look like in
Roller) and removing a potential show-stopper for those considering use of
Apache Roller. By default, values placed here will not go into the blog entry
header unless the template is modified, but this provides the advanced user the
ability to do so if he or she wishes.
For users wanting this field to be placed in their header, the necessary
template modification would be just the single line below:
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title>$model.weblogEntry.title : $model.weblog.name</title>
--> <meta name="Description" content="$model.weblogEntry.searchDescription">
<--
#showAutodiscoveryLinks($model.weblog)
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" media="all"
href="$model.weblog.stylesheet">
</head>
All Roller tests still pass with this patch. Note i18n might be an issue, as
I've added the text for this field only to the standard resources property
file, not to the various other UI languages supported by Roller (I believe they
default to English if a foreign equivalent is not provided.) Due to the
database change this patch includes it can probably be added only to the future
Apache Roller 5.1.
If this patch is applied the Template Guide will also need an update with the
WeblogEntry table (Section 6.10) having another row added to describe the new
searchDescription field, something like:
$entry.searchDescription / String / Descriptive text that can be added to the
weblog entry's HTML header for search engine optimization (SEO).

> Hi, as discussed here:
> http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/roller-user/201207.mbox/%3C4FF1A023.5020504%40talend.com%3E
> Provide an ability to store a description field for each blog entry, that the
> user may wish to employ (via template modifications) to place within the HTML
> header, like so:
> <meta name="Description" content="$model.weblogEntry.description"/>
> This information is utilized by search engines to varying degrees when they
> wish to describe the contents of the blog article on the search results page,
> and is functionality already available in Google Blogger.
