1: Metatags for ETP (edit this page)
Posted by Peter Monien on 11/12/04 04:57 PM
Obviously, the field "description" is not meant to have the meta tags typed in, to optimize the page to be found with google etc.

Can anybody give me a hint if there is something for meta tags somehwere in ETP?

Thanks in advance!

You could do this by creating a new ETP 'application' (using the tcl API) that defines a meta-tags field in addition to the basic etp application field spec. (look in the etp source code for guidance - refer to the default application specification code). You would then need to write your own template to return these as part of the >head< of the page when delivered to the browser. The bast way to do this would be to pass the field up to the master template in a variable and have an >if<>/if< in the master template that check for a value and returns default meta-tags if the variable is not set.

[NB. I have reversed the tag separators because tags are not permitted here in a forum post.]
