Using Actinic content in meta tags

[JimboS]

Is it posible to use Actinic tags in the metatags so that when uploaded they will automatically be changed.

So if in my meta description I wanted to inlcue the price of a product on that page, is there a way to do this but adding an Actinic reference rather than the actual price so that if the price changes the meta tag would be chnaged at the same time?

Hope this make sense.

There's nothing to stop you putting variables in the meta area, actinic already does that in certain circumstances, but why would you want to put the price there?

[JimboS]

Price was just an example, product name would do as well.

[Rich Brady]

You can use product name, section name, what ever really, but you should be entering meta information using the the fields at product level and male them specific to the page content for best results.

You could use a block I suppose to say if the field is empty use product name if you don't want to edit each one specifically.

variables would be the easiest way to do this however I am not sure on how you would like to approach it, as in your main source code where you have your meta description it will be pointing to the Meta Description variable. you would have to change this to be ProductName variable or ProductPrice Variable.

unless you can actually insert the variable into the meta description variable.
