Menu Metadata not used by Phoca Download

[cherryboy]

If you create a menu item in Joomla you have the option to add metadata robots noindex nofollow or similar.

This works for a menu item such as a list of articles. However if I do it for a Phoca Download menu item such as a category list of files the options on the menu item are not present when I view the source for the page

Hi, then each view.html.php for each view needs to be customized, for now there is:

- page_heading
- page_title
- sitename_pagetitles
- menu-meta_description
- menu-meta_keywords
- menupage_title

managed, e.g. in components/com_phocadownload/views/categories/view.html.php in method _prepareDocument

Thanks, but this should really be part of the standard product rather than a customization. Joomla allows the option tobe set in the menu item like the other fields such as page_title. However Phoca then ignores the robots setting when building the page unlike the other options

Doing a customization of core code isn't a good idea as it would need to be reapplied for every release

Hi, if you have found the right solution just paste it here, so it can be implemented in next versions of Phoca Download.

Thank you, Jan
