Hi,

Are there any keywords/SEO features in V2? It's possible to put all that stuff in the PHP page but I was wondering if there was a way to add keywords to the site for search engines to index.

You see, the problem is - thats easy with php gallery just edit templates/layout.phtml and add keywords or whatever, but flash gallery always stays on the same page really. I'm not quite sure what you want to do, just add meta keywords or make every page indexed?

Hi,

A full blown SEO functionality should allow each image to be indexed based on images description and keywords.

Obviously, editing PHP templates will give me the basic function but this might be a feature to consider.

Thank you for your response.

Thats one of the reasons why we have the HTML gallery -
https://www.photo.gallery/soda/?p=html&path= ... r%20Duper/

Google will be able to search through the HTML gallery, indexing each page. Individual pages then have links back to the SWF gallery.

Unfortunately, the Imagevue SWF simply can't be indexed since it is a single page(and google can't read the text content in SWF anyway).

I think you can add some redirection from html page to the same page in swf. You can see the url you need in layout.phtml:

<a href="?p=gallery#/<?php echo $swfAPath;?>" title="Flash Gallery">Flash version &raquo;</a>

Something like:

<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=?p=gallery#/<?php echo $swfAPath;?>"/>

Should do the trick, those pages will be indexes as html by search engines (if they don't parse meta ofcourse, not sure about that) but visitors will be redirected to the correspoding Flash gallery pages

Hey guys,

Is there any plan to include an option to display EXIF data on the HTML pages? This would make things a lot easier for SEO as then there would be no need to duplicate the EXIF caption in the Imagevue description field.

Your thoughts? I would like to add this as a request if possible.

You can already do this ...

Open imagevue/css/htmlstyle.css and locate the class:

.exifData { visibility: hidden; }

... simply set:

.exifData { }

EXIF data will now display although I think we need to add improved formatting and styling to the layout.

Karl, this is great news! Some styling would be a nice improvement too!

Hi,

I want to use the gallery in Flash mode. In version 1, I had simply put some meta tags in the PHP page -- basic description and keywords stuff.

Which page would I put them into in version 2? I looked at index.php but seems like that only includes an "include".

You can add them to the file templates/index_gallery.phtml
