Metadata in Weblinks is not shown
Hello All,
A set meta description in Global Configuration of my site: for example"My main description"
After that I create a menu link and point it to a category of weblinks (List weblinks in a category), and in this menu I set another meta description - for ex: My new description of the weblink category
But when I open the page in a browser and look at the Page Source Code I see that the description is not my Menu description , but the general meta description?
Is this a bug , or if I made a mistake somewhere ?

Re: Metadata in Weblinks is not shown
in joomla! 3.2, you can enter Meta Description
Menus > Menu Manager: Menu Items > Edit Menu Item > Metadata > Meta Description
Menus > Menu Manager: Menu Items > Edit Menu Item > Metadata > Meta Description

Hi and thanks for you answer, BUT maybe you didn't read what I wrote.
I am doing exactly the same, what you wrote BUT this seems like a bug or I don't know.
Try in your installation of Joomla 3.2 and you will see.
Is there any other suggestions?

Hi and thanks for the links.
I am not a junior Joomla user. I know how to enter metatags (description, and keywords.) But as I wrote in my previous posts, The site doesn't get the meta data, which I 've entered in the weblinks category, but it always get the Global meta data. And this is very bad for SEO - duplicate meta description .
For every weblink category I set different description, for the menu button to the weblinks I set different description , but even that in View Source I always get the global meta description.
With other native components all is alright expet the weblink component.
So can you please check in your Joomla 3.x installation and the weblink
Seem like a bug
Can you confirm that ?

Re: Metadata in Weblinks is not shown
I see this is still an issue or at least I am still having this same problem? Anyone know when this will be fixed or if it has been fixed what I should do that I may not be doing?
I checked the issue tracker but it didn't look like it had been completed?
Thanks.

Re: Metadata in Weblinks is not shown
Yes, as of Joomla version 3.3.6 or earlier, code has been added to the components/com_content/views/category/view.html.php file but that doesn't correct the problem. A meta description for a Weblink category still does not replace the global meta description.
