meta data edit

[ginger]

hi,
i really like the directory script.

one thing i'd like to do is to add meta info of my directory
(e.g., keywords, site description) thru the admin control panel.

please consider adding this functionality in the next version.

thanks.

Hello Ginger,

I was attempting a similar modification and thought I would share the progress. I have ran the program through the W3C validation process, and it did not pass for Meta Data. I think this is an issue pertaining to the type of document being specified. I have postponed further modifications as this area of design does not have the level of importance it had years prior.

My objective was to generate the Meta Data dynamically and ensure it was relevant to the page being presented. It was modestly easy, thanks to developers friendly programing, but others should modify the "static text" portion to fit the needs of their marketing efforts.

I modified the Header Template as follows:
Content visible to registered users only.

It may be a good idea to review the source of my directory before implementing an identical header template. If I remember correctly, there was an issue with spaces being added to the meta tags.

I hope that helps.

Thanks for sharing, that will save me from having to mess with templates, at least for the time being :)
