I’m really getting into developing child themes for Thematic. It’s a really powerful theme framework.
\nI’ll try to post some of the more interesting bits of code I write to help the Thematic community at large.
\nHere, I’ve used a nice little meta-description function from Life On Mars’s WordPress SEO 101 article and turned it into a function that you can simply add to your childtheme’s functions.php file:
\n// Add a custom meta-description
\nfunction childtheme_meta_description() { //divydovy: put the Life On Mars code in a wrapper function ?>
\nID, \"MetaDescription\", true);
\n// checks to see if the custom field MetaDescription is not empty
\nif ($custommeta !=='') {echo $custommeta;}
\n// check if excerpt exists for the post and output it if it does
\nelseif (!empty($post->post_excerpt)) {the_excerpt();}
\n// if there's no custom field or excerpt output the post title
\nelse {single_post_title('', true);}
\n}
\n// if category page output the category description
\nelseif (is_category()) {echo category_description();}
// if it's any other page display this generic description
\nelse { echo 'add your generic description here';}
\n?>\"
\n/>
\nadd_action('wp_head', 'childtheme_meta_description'); //divydovy: add this function to the wp_head hook
\n
Hey presto! A customisable meta-description facility with redundancy for your Thematic child theme 🙂
\nProps to Life On Mars.
