Chris Urner	Wednesday 23 April 2008 5:36:02 pm Hi, I am new to EZ and have a question that I cannot find the answer to with searching (well, it may be there and I am an idiot :) ) When I go to site settings, I can set the meta keywords and description, but this is applied to every single page on the site. I am penalized by Google search for the same meta description on every page. Is there a plugin or something I am doing wrong that does not allow me to change this for each page? Every time I try something, it applies it to every page. Thanks for any help Chris
Piotrek Karaś	Thursday 24 April 2008 3:55:42 am One way of achieving that would be to add additional attributes (for example of text line or text block type) to the classes that you want to have the meta tags for. Then you would have to alter the meta head template in order to be able to display different class combinations. This doesn't require extending, just use of built-in content engine. BTW. There's a keywords datatype, but I don't think it's a good idea to use that for meta keywords attribute, even thought that would work. The reason is that there's more to that datatype than just collecting data. Keywords would be quite useful for tagging the pages. -- Company: mediaSELF Sp. z o.o., http://www.mediaself.pl eZ references: http://ez.no/partners/worldwide_partners/mediaself eZ certified developer: http://ez.no/certification/verify/272585 eZ blog: http://ez.ryba.eu
