Cutenews 2.0: Page title & meta tags

Hi!

I upgraded my CuteNews yesterday from 153 to 2.0 and the problem is, I used to have a code in my old version which took the page title and the other meta tags, which for example Facebook uses, like description from the news.txt which is not used anymore as there's a folder of news instead.

My simple question goes: How can I get the page title as the same as full story's title is and description to match the couple of first lines of the article?

Use (full_news page):

<?php 

require_once 'cutenews/cn_api.php';
$entry = cn_api_get_entry();
if ($entry['t']) 
{
     // ........
     $header_title = $entry['t'];

     print_r($entry);
}

i can't get this to work (title does not change). we're exactly do i need to paste this code on?

$fdesc is obtained from the variable $ rawdesc,which is initialized by the contents of full story ($ entry ['f']). If you want to replace it with short story, you need to modify the code so that variable $ str would be used instead of $rawdesc, which is initialized by the contents of short story ($entry['s']).

By printing the Array to your web page (print_r as seen above), you can see the keys some of which has the sufficient information for eg. title, description, full story... etc. Some of the strings you have to parse with PHP website to get what you want.

For example here is the code I'm using, $entry['t'] will print the title without the need of parsing the string, $entry['s'] has the short story and $entry['f'] contains the full story. I have fetched them with cn_api.php and then with some functions I have parsed them to what I want from the strings in question.

require_once 'cutenews/cn_api.php';
$entry = cn_api_get_entry();

if ($entry['t']) 
{
     // ........
     $header_title = $entry['t'];
     $str = $entry['s'];
     $rawdesc = $entry['f'];
     
function get_string_between($string, $start, $end){
    $string = " ".$string;
    $ini = strpos($string,$start);
    if ($ini == 0) return "";
    $ini += strlen($start);
    $len = strpos($string,$end,$ini) - $ini;
    return substr($string,$ini,$len);
}

function stripBBCode($text_to_search) {
 $pattern = '|[[\/\!]*?[^\[\]]*?]|si';
 $replace = '';
 return preg_replace($pattern, $replace, $text_to_search);
}

$rawdesc2 = stripBBCode($rawdesc);

$pattern = "/[a-zA-Z]*[:\/\/]*[A-Za-z0-9\-_]+\.+[A-Za-z0-9\.\/%&=\?\-_]+/i";
$replacement = "";
$sdesc = preg_replace($pattern, $replacement, $rawdesc2);
$fdesc = strip_tags($sdesc);

$image = get_string_between($str, "[img]", "[/img]");


      echo "<title>".$header_title."</title>\n";
      echo "<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"".$header_title." \" />";
      echo "<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"http://hcmeanmachine.com/cutenews/uploads/".$image."\"/>";
      echo "<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"".$fdesc."\" />";
      
} else {
      
        echo "<title>Masiina » Uutiset</title>\n";
        echo "<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Masiina » Uutiset\" />";
    }
