    'Include Parent Meta Content in Each Section'

    Hello. I will try my best to explain this problem, as it seems long and unwinded, but here goes...

    My site, http://www.cupargardencentre.co.uk consists of ~50 'introductory' and 'services' pages, as well as my Actinic shop.

    The problem is we paid our server company, Teclan, to integrate our new website so that it is controlled by Actinic.

    The 'outer layout' is shown in the following location - Design - Library - Web Page Outer Layout - Cupar Gardens Outer Layout. This page shows the 'outer code' (ie. if you look at our site, the outer layout controls the menu, header, sides and footer, each page is controlled in seperate fragments).

    So this 'outer layout' code contains our page title, description and keywords which the ~50 pages inheret (not including the shop pages which are completely seperate). I asked my server company, and was advised by support to go to Settings - Site Options - Links - Include Parent Meta Content In Each Section - and set it to 'false'. This would allow me to enter my own page title, description and keywords for each of the 50~ pages, boosting the SEO value of those pages.

    However, I did this, then gave each fragment it's own page title, keywords and description - uploaded the site. And nothing has changed at all. I checked an 'offline page preview' - and still the same title/keywords/description is inhereted.

    Can anyone see any obvious problems and if so, how do I go about fixing this?

    Kind regards,
    Grant Glendinning,
    Cupar Garden Centre

    Looks to me like the title tag has been hard coded into the template instead of the actinic variable which would allow you to cahnge the titel tag. But changing the fragment title will NOT change the page title you need to do this in the page properties for each brochure page - if you do that and it still stays the same then the outer layer needs moding.

      Actinic includes all of the required code into the head section when you register a design. If i was you i would register a new dummy design (just to get the <head> section filled out by actinic) and then compare this with what you have. Like Mal says if these aren't changing, then it is highly likely that the variables to allow this are not set up as you want them to be. If you compare with an original, you may also find other things that ideally you want in there too.

        Ah. I think that's what it is.

        In 'web page outer layout' there is only 1 sheet which controls these pages. This sheet contains <title> and <meta> tags - so I would assume this does mean it is hardcoded. Just as well we paid Teclan to make sure all variables were correctly laid out etc, therefore I'll be sending the snapshot back this week.

        I'll keep you's updated

        Thank you
