This tips is easy but hard work required. :wink:

First, open "/templates/header.tpl", after Content visible to registered users only. fill this

Content visible to registered users only.

after "$category.ID eq" you have to enter number of which category you want to specified title and meta tags for it. How to know? You can see number of category id in your link control panel or type
Content visible to registered users only. "X" is number of category, make it and record it on spreadsheet program like excel. If you want only first page different from inner page you can use like this

Content visible to registered users only.
this code will give first page (category ID 0) have its own title and meta tags and other pages (all categories above 0) to use default title and meta tags. This is why I said hard work required. :wink: If you have many category to work with you may face some trouble to enter too many of them. I'm not programmer so I don't know better way to do this. If you can do this better. Please give me more suggestion. :lol:

Cheers,

What is really needed is the ability to add keywords to the categories, and to the individual listings. If we have a 'keyword' field, we could then just list the category keywords meta tag to the individual pages with the 'keyword' variable that is contained in the program. I believe this is a necessary update that this software could use so that each page of our directories could be more search-engine friendly and be spidered more easily.

I agree with you 100% on this Mike, to get mods like this working though we need people to donate. Why not post this on the main forum, or have you already done so? Mod requests would be good, and if I think there is any chance of success then I will back it with my own $$$ as well. :wink:
