Serendipity Forums

Hi!
I'm trying to build a magazine-style template with a static startpage and want to display the related_entries plugin there. Is it possible to fetch that plugin on static pages? The standard hook - {serendipity_hookPlugin hook="frontend_display_relatedlinks" data=$entry hookAll="true"}{$RELATEDLINKS} - doesn't work there; apparently, its no mod_rewrite problem; I was searching the forum here for days for an answer, but I couldn't find it.
Can anybody help me?

Hi!

No,the releated entries plugin only operates on entries,not on staticpages -- they arecompletely different, staticpages do not have tags.

What a pity!
So I've to use a customfield instead to display these related links - on my fabulous tartpage!
Thanks for your answer, Garvin, I now feel obliged to shorten your wishlist soon ...

Hi Garvin,

Any particular reason why staticpages can't have tags? I mean, they should be allowed to have their own <meta description> and <meta keywords> tags so they can be indexed properly. Just curious.

Hi Andrew!

Tags and Metatags are something completely different! One could add meta-tags to a staticpage, if you create your own custom staticpage .tpl file where you insert the tags.

There is no input area for tags themselves, but you could use the "Introductory Text" for example, since that is usually never used on staticpages (only on overview pages). Enter your meta tags there, and inside your staticpage .tpl you can emit those (or emit them through the index.tpl template instead...

Hmmmm... the HTML Meta-tags plugin provides meta info for entry pages - perhaps someone wants to take it to the next level and provide the same capability for individual static pages???

Hi Garvin,

Suggestion taken. Never thought of it this way lol.

Will try it out.

Hi Garvin,

Just implemented your suggestion. Works like a million euros!

Thank you!
