How & where to insert description & keywords?

[rolygate]

Hi Guys

Just got here from Joomla. Straight away I can see some advantages and I'm interested. I like the -based layout, that's excellent. Finally, someone came up with a tableless layout for a CMS...

Got to do a quick job for a pal - need to stick some metadata in. Because I'm a noob with cmsMS I don't know where/ how to put the tags in.

I need to put in a unique description and keywords for each page, but the docs aren't really clear (step-by-step) on how to set that up.

I can see in the Documentation, the tags needed, but when I go into the site admin, the template doesn't have anything relevant - it shows this (minus the # which I put in to mask it):

# {global_content name="header"} #
# {global_content name="iestyles"} #

Doesn't look like I'm in the right place. Where to go?

When editing content, on the 'options' tab, there's a 'metadata' text area.  put your meta tags in there.

You just have to ensure that the {metadata} tag is in the page template
and all will work.

Thanks, Calguy, that's superb. Worked like a dream.
I really like that flexibility - you need a plugin to do that in Joomla (and then it's probably not as flexible). Way to go!
Here's the order it needs to go (otherwise the code doesn't validate):

## {global_content name="header"} ##
## {metadata} ##

And you can see the result here - I think he's made a nice site there:
