Frequently Asked Questions:
What is System - AI Meta?
System - AI Meta is a free Joomla plugin for Joomla 4+ that uses AI services like Ollama or OpenAI-compatible APIs to automatically generate optimized meta descriptions and keywords for articles, contacts, and custom fields.
How do I install the plugin?
Download the plugin package from the Joomla Extensions Directory or RicheyWeb website. Log in to your Joomla admin panel, go to System > Install > Extensions, upload the ZIP file, then enable it under System > Manage > Plugins by searching for "System - AI Meta".
What are the system requirements?
You need Joomla 4.x or later, PHP 8.1 or higher, access to an AI service such as Ollama or an OpenAI-compatible API, administrative access to your site, and the cURL extension enabled for OpenAI-compatible connections.
How do I configure AI connections?
In the plugin settings under System > Manage > Plugins, add connection instances. Specify a name, choose Ollama or OpenAI Compatible, enter the endpoint URL (like http://localhost:11434 for Ollama), and provide an API key if required for OpenAI services.
What placeholders can I use in prompts?
Use %title% for the item title, %article% for the full article text, %keywords% for existing keywords, or %#jform_field_id% to pull content from specific custom fields in the form.
How does the AI Generate button work?
When editing an article or contact, click the AI Generate button next to the Meta Description or Meta Keywords field. The plugin sends the content to your configured AI service using your prompts and fills the field with the generated output.
Can I regenerate meta content if I do not like the result?
Yes, click the Regenerate button (with a repeat icon) and enter a brief reason, such as "Make it shorter". The plugin includes the current content and your reason in a new AI request to refine the output.
What does the temperature setting do?
Temperature controls output creativity, ranging from 0 to 2. Lower values (like 0.5) produce more focused and deterministic results, while higher values (like 1.0 or more) increase variety and creativity.
Does the plugin support multiple AI models or services?
Yes, you can add multiple connection instances with different endpoints, models, and settings. Select the desired connection and model separately for meta descriptions and keywords.
Is the plugin secure?
It uses Joomla CSRF tokens for API requests, validates sessions, and stores API keys in the plugin configuration.
Why is this plugin free?
The developer provides it for free to support the Joomla community, inspired by the Swahili word "Jumla" meaning "all together". There is no freemium model; instead, users are encouraged to leave reviews or hire for custom work.
What should I do if no AI models load in the settings?
Check that the AI service URL is correct and the service is running. For OpenAI-compatible connections, verify the API key and cURL extension. Review Joomla error logs for connection issues.
Can the plugin work with custom fields?
Yes, use the %#jform_field_id% placeholder in prompts, replacing "field_id" with the actual ID of the custom field in the form.
How does caching improve performance?
The plugin caches the list of available AI models to reduce repeated API calls during configuration. Enable caching in the plugin settings if performance is slow.
What contexts does the plugin support?
It natively supports com_content.article (articles) and com_contact.contact (contacts). Additional contexts can be added by modifying the code.
Where can I find examples of prompts?
The plugin settings include example configurations. For meta descriptions, try: System: Generate a meta description (120 to 160 characters) for an article with the title "%title%" and content "%article%". For keywords: System: Generate 5 to 10 relevant keywords for an article with the title "%title%" and content "%article%".
How do I report a bug or get support?
Use the "Report a Bug" link on the download page or visit the documentation at RicheyWeb. Leaving a review in the Joomla Extension Directory is also appreciated.
Can I use knowledge files with the AI?
Yes, in the Meta Descriptions or Meta Keywords settings, enter knowledge file IDs from your AI provider to add extra context to generations. Leave blank if not needed.
