Descriptions and keywords

Post by Andy »

Hi,

I've just installed CMSMS and I think it's a fantastic product, but I'd like to be able to have the page descriptions and keywords as optional input fields, I can't seem to find anything that does this. Is there something I'm missing or do I need to mod the system to include these?

Cheers

We're talking about making a 1 line version of this at some point, but for right now, you can do {content block='pagedescrtiption'} in your template and it will show up when you edit the page.

It will have a full WYSIWYG, but it'll work.

Hi,

That's great and it works just fine for the description, is there a list of these options anywhere, for instance can I clone pagdescription and make pagekeyword?

Cheers

Actually, this is the New Improved Multicontent Block feature.

Basically, you can add a line like {content block='foo'} to your template, where 'foo' is any reasonable string of characters, and you'll get a full  input box (using your WYSIWYG of choice) for that field when you edit a page with that template.

I've found that having more than two content blocks on a page will slow my browser into an unusable state if I have the WYSIWYG editors enabled. Fortunately, you can use "none" as your WYSIWYG editor, and get a simple HTML text input area.
