Metatag
-------
This module allows you to automatically provide structured metadata, aka "meta
tags", about your website and web pages.

In the context of search engine optimization, providing an extensive set of
meta tags may help improve your site's & pages' ranking, thus may aid with
achieving a more prominent display of your content within search engine
results. Additionally, using meta tags can help control the summary content
that is used within social networks when visitors link to your site,
particularly the Open Graph submodule for use with Facebook (see below).

This version of the module only works with Drupal 7.x.


Features
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The primary features include:

* The current supported basic meta tags are ABSTRACT, DESCRIPTION, CANONICAL,
  COPYRIGHT, GENERATOR, IMAGE_SRC, KEYWORDS, PUBLISHER, ROBOTS, SHORTLINK and
  the page's TITLE tag.

* Per-path control over meta tags using the "Meta tags: Context" submodule
  (requires the Context module).

* The fifteen Dublin Core Basic Element Set 1.1 meta tags may be added by
  enabling the "Meta tags: Dublin Core" submodule.

* The Open Graph Protocol meta tags, as used by Facebook, may be added by
  enabling the "Meta tags: Open Graph" submodule.

* An API allowing for additional meta tags to be added, beyond what is provided
  by this module - see metatag.api.php for full details.


Configuration
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 1. On the People Permissions administration page ("Administer >> People
    >> Permissions") you need to assign:

    - The "Administer meta tags" permission to the roles that are allowed to
      access the meta tags admin pages to control the site defaults.

    - The "Edit meta tags" permission to the roles that are allowed to change
      meta tags on each individual page (node, term, etc).

 2. The main admininistrative page controls the site-wide defaults, both global
    settings and defaults per entity (node, term, etc), in addition to those
    assigned specifically for the front page:
      admin/config/search/metatags

 3. Each supported entity object (nodes, terms, users) will have a set of meta
    tag fields available for customization on their respective edit page, these
    will inherit their values from the defaults assigned in #2 above. Any
    values that are not overridden per object will automatically update should
    the defaults be updated.

Some modules are available that extend Nodewords with additional functionality:

* Domain Meta Tags
  http://drupal.org/project/domain_meta
  Integrates with the Domain Access module, so each site of a multi-domain
  install can separately control their meta tags.
