Author CMS & Metatags

Do you have to implement Metatags being programmatically
picked up from the Custom Page Properties yourself and
place it in the <Head> tags or does CMS do it
automatically?

If not automatically, what is the best way of
implementing this?

Hi

Apart from the <meta name="robots"
content="noindex,nofollow"> tag (which is added if the
RobotsMetaTag control has been inserted into the template
file), you will have to program the remaining meta tags -
CMS won't do it automatically.

The usual practice is to use both the page property as
well as custom property values as its easy to implement.
e.g. DisplayName for the <Title>. This article shows you
how: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?

To make it easier for authors to remember updating these
properties, try out Stefan's Property Authoring Server
control, which allows authors to update property values
while updating placeholder content.

And if you are planning to use custom property values for
channel and posting retrieval as well, you may want to
consider this solution written by Andrew Connell
