HowTo generate META tags from custom properties
|
|
| Robert 2004-02-04, 10:48 am |
| MCMS 2002:
I have created two custom properties on a template:
Keywords and Description.
How do I get these custom properties to be generated as
META tags in the <HEAD> section using the code behind
window with VB?

| Hi Robert,
a code sample is included in the CMS 2002 documentation:
/Developing Your MCMS Site
/Coding with the Publishing API
/Coding in Template Files
/Programmatically Creating Meta Data from Custom Properties
Cheers,
Stefan.

| Hi,
I'm using a an XmlPlaceholder to store my metadata; I'm not using the
suggested method of a Custom Property. Is there really a difference
between using one or the other?
I'm not keen on using the Literal server control, as my Placeholder
generates the metadata string I want to put into the header, i.e.
<meta name=n1 content=c1 /><meta name=n2 content=c2 /><....>

| Hi Alan,
I think you would have to create a user control that reads the content of
the XmlPlaceholder and renders the relevant Metatag.
The code in the user control would need to look as follows:
protected override void Render( HtmlTextWriter writer)
{
XmlPlaceholder xmlPh =
(XmlPlaceholder)CmsHttpContext.Current.Posting.Placeholders["XmlPhName"];
for (...)
{
writer.Write("<meta ...>");
}
}
Cheers,
Stefan.

| Thanks.
This is similar to what I've done. I've had to put it into a seperate
placeholder, as the meta edit placeholder that renders html controls
based on an XML files, doesn't work if I use your suggested method.
Is there any particular reason why I shouldn't use placeholder content
to store my meta string, as opposed to using a custom property?

| Hi Alan,
no there is no specific reason.
You could use both.
Using custom properties might be easier as the developer can define the tags
dynamically using VS.NET without recompiling the solution.
Cheers,
Stefan.

Hi
I'm doing the same thing and everything works, BUT only when the screen is fully sized - fits the screen as the screen gets smaller you cannot get focus on the text box - if you double click on it the the highlight covers some of the textbox - this highlighted section doens't allow for editing...
Any one got any ideas? or want more info let me know...
Many thanks |
