dynamic meta tags

Samuel,

I'd like to run dynamic meta description and keywords tags to the forum (haven't purchased yet). My first preference would be to include the title of the post into the meta keywords, and also in the description. Is it suitable to place a call on the column data in the meta tag (ex. <meta name=desc content="Forum Name Post enititled, <%TITLE%>">), or is there another way of doing this? I would like all custom meta tags to be generated this way (dynamically).

Also, I would like to create the search friendly urls as hyphenated, rather than underscored between the message file_name.htm. Can this be configured as well?

Thanks,
Rob

1) although the software doesn't work this way (it currently allows you to specify one set of meta tags), I will tell you how to customize it with only minimal code (very similar to what you have there) once you purchase a software license.

2) yes, you can. The parameter is specified in an include file (the same file where you specify your database login info)

Hey, cool. I never thought to ask about this.

I was interested in doing something similar. This is the wrong forum since this should be in the V2 forum... but I didn't think it should be a new thread as the question was already asked.

I checked in the include file and couldn't find anything to alter this. I'm guessing since you didn't include that information here you don't want non-registered members to know how to do this. If that's the case, can you PM me the details? I'd like to have dynamic meta descriptions and keywords for every page. Using the same keywords and description is bad for SEO.

nevermind... I just edited tm.aspx and tt.aspx to change the meta tags so they show dynamically. I recommend everyone do this though... as some SEO people say it's worse having all the same meta tags throughout the sight then having none at all.
