Moodle SEO (meta description)

The following code will allow you to use the Summary of your web page resources as the meta description for your pages. This can help with search engine optimisation for your moodle pages.

You will need to add the following code to the header.html of your theme.

<?php

 // work out the summary

 $mysummary = 'put your normal summary here';

 $id = optional_param('id', 0, PARAM_INT); // Course Module ID

 if ($id) {

 if ($cm = get_coursemodule_from_id('resource', $id)) {

 if ($resource = get_record('resource', 'id', $cm->instance)) {

 $mysummary = $resource->summary;

?>

<meta name='description' content='<?php echo $mysummary;?>' />

You may need to tweak this to suit your specific needs.
