| We are evaluating MCMS to see if it suits our organisation's needs, and are
trying to find out how metadata is managed.
Can anyone point me towards some information? We are looking at it from a
users point of view - ie which types of users can create metadata, and how do
they do it, is is difficult, can certain metadata be pre-created for all
pages in the site so that the author only has to update a few pieces of
information that are specific to their page?
Thanks
Lynette

| Hi Lynette,
metadata can be stored in different places: Small amount of meta data with a
fixed schema is usually stored in custom channel and posting properties.
More flexible meta data is usually stored as XML in an XmlPlaceholder
object.
It is possible to write a custom placeholder control on top of the
XmlPlaceholder object using the .NET controls to have tailored input
controls for each different meta data type.
Cheers,
Stefan

| Hi,
There is also a placeholder control that is included in the CMS Plus Pack
(www.msibpluspack.com) and its free.
See
