My clients website needs some modifications. The page titles, description and keywords of every page needs to be modified. But, when I add the page meta data, the changes don't show up in the front end.

A default page title is showing up across all pages on the site.

I am adding the titles, description and keywords in "Page Specific Metadata:" section of Edit Content -> Options.

The format i use is

<meta name="title" content="">
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="keywords" content="">

the website is http://www.breakthroughcancerresearch.ie/

Please help to solve my problem.

Thanks in advance!

I am not sure about {metadata} tag in the templates? Where do I search for them? Where are they located?

Thanks

The ones you have now are in Site Admin » Global Settings...

I look in the page template for the {metadata} tag, it should be in the top after <head>...

This is the code in my theme file

* DisplayHTMLHeader
* This method outputs the HEAD section of the html page in the admin section.
*/
function DisplayHTMLHeader($showielink = false, $addt = '')
{
global $gCms;
$config =& $gCms->GetConfig();

What you pasted here is part of admin theme file and sitepref.php that you should not edit.
With CMSMS you don't have to search for files and edit any, you can do all of your FrontEnd Template settings and markup in Admin Backend.

When you go to "Content -> Pages" you will see a list of your pages and in "Template" table column you will also see Template names which are used by these pages.

Now simply click on a Tempalte name and a page where you can edit that Template will open.
Now look if there is {metadata} in the code inside textarea. If not add it inside <head> some code </head> part.

When you have that part your meta settings that you entered when editing page under "Options" tab and settings from "Site Admin -> Global Settings" as DrCSS mentioned will be added.

And thats it.

Thanks for the info.

I tried to do as instructed but the Template name on the "Template" table column, is not clickable. Could this be because I don't have certain access levels in the admin or whatelse?

Thanks once again.
