Hi.

I have a little issue with the ZOOMCATEGORY-meta tag. Apparently it is beeing ignored by the indexer. Or at least it doesn't place the files in proper category.


<!--ZOOMSTART-->
...
<html>
<head>
...
<meta name="ZOOMCATEGORY" content="Economy">
...
</head>
<body>
<!--ZOOMSTOP-->

Header

<!--ZOOMSTART-->

Content

<!--ZOOMSTOP-->

Footer


I'm not quite sure what I'm doing wrong. I'm guessing that I'm making some mistake in the indexer's categories tab. I created an "Economy" category with the match pattern "Economy" (not working) and also <meta name="ZOOMCATEGORY" content="Economy"> (also not working).

You're using the ZOOMSTOP tags incorrectly. The tags are <!--ZOOMSTOP--> and <!--ZOOMRESTART-->. You need to mark the sections of the page which you wish to EXCLUDE, by enclosing them within these two tags.

So it should look more like this:


...
<html>
<head>
...
<meta name="ZOOMCATEGORY" content="Economy">
...
</head>
<body>
<!--ZOOMSTOP-->

Header

<!--ZOOMRESTART-->

Content

<!--ZOOMSTOP-->

Footer
<!--ZOOMRESTART-->

I edited my template file accordingly. No effect.

The pages won't show up when searching with the categories filter.

Can you post the URL to your site so that we can have a closer look.

I looked at more than 20 pages on your site and didn't find a single page that used the ZOOMCATEGORY tag.

(After you add or remove tags, you need to re-index your site before you will see any changes. Also make sure you turn off file caching from the General tab in the Zoom configuration window)

Try http://www.isr.tu-berlin.de/index.php?id=150
I have re-indexed over and over again after making changes to the config.

I spent some more time looking at your web site. You appear to be using a tag like this now,

<meta name="ZOOMCATEGORY" content="Oekonomie">

Which should be OK if it matches what you have in the Zoom configuration window.

But I can see from your search form that you have named the category, "Fachgebiet Stadt- und Regionalökonomie"

So clearly "Fachgebiet Stadt- und Regionalökonomie" is NOT the same as "Oekonomie", so there will be no match. And nothing will appear in the category "Fachgebiet Stadt- und Regionalökonomie".

Hm. Okay.
"Fachgebiet Stadt- und Regionalökonomie" should have been the name and description of the category and not the match pattern.

I'll check on monday.

Thanks again.

I have re-index the site with caching off. Still no effect.

The match pattern in the indexer app is clearly "Oekonomie" and not "Fachgebiet Stadt- und Regionalökonomie". For the sake of it, I also inserted "Fachgebiet Stadt- und Regionalökonomie" als match pattern. Still no positive effect.

I have attached my Zoom config file.

Thanks in advance!

The metatag is matched against the category name. Not the pattern.

The pattern is only used for matching against the page URLs.

If you have this meta data,
<meta name="ZOOMCATEGORY" content="Oekonomie">

Then the category name needs to be Oekonomie.
