    META tags not working?

    Hi all,

    I have inserted meta descriptions, meta keywords and page titles in every section on our website and also the homepage but only the titles display in the browser.

    Could anyone possibly have a look into why this might be happening?

    The website is - http://www.artdiscount.co.uk

    Kind regards

    Meta tags for description and keywords are "hidden" to the viewer- these are used for search engines to find the relevent sites and display the description in the search summary - the title is the text appearing in the browser search bar.

    The keywords and description are words that should also feature on each specific page - so there is no need for a browser to show them. Don't worry - everything you are doing is working fine.

        Oh... I see...

        Could it be you are inheriting the meta tags and descriptions from the parent sections and that is not yet set - check under DESIGN | OPTIONS | SECTIONS at the meta check box

          Thanks for your replies,

          I did mean the meta tags are not appearing in the source. Sorry if this wasn't clearly explained.
          I have experimented with the checkbox in DESIGN | OPTIONS | SECTIONS by checking it and unchecking and uploading it but it hasn't made any difference at all.

          I have the description and keywords inserted in Actinic for the homepage and every section underneath but for example, all I see in the homepage source is -

          <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
          <html>
          <head>
          <title>Welcome to Art Discount&#44; Art Supplies &#38; Materials at discount prices</title>
          <Actinic:BASEHREF VALUE="http://www.artdiscount.co.uk/"/>
          <meta name="ACTINICTITLE" content="NETQUOTEVAR:PAGEHEADER">
          <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

          Can anyone help?

          Kind regards

            Are you entering them within Actinic?

            If so, then it's possible that you've removed the netquotevar that controls them.

            Have you still got

            <meta name="ACTINICTITLE" content="NETQUOTEVAR:PAGEHEADER">

            in your primary templates?

            Mike

            Re-reading your last post it looks like you do. For some reason this isn't being converted to the proper meta tags information. hmmm.....

              Thanks olderscot.

              Yes, I have them in all my Primary templates, brochure pages etc.

              All the templates start off with -

              <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
              <html>
              <head>
              <title>NETQUOTEVAR:PAGETITLE</title>
              <Actinic:BASEHREF VALUE="NETQUOTEVAR:BASEHREF"/>
              <meta name="ACTINICTITLE" content="NETQUOTEVAR:PAGEHEADER">
              <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
              <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="actiniccore.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
              <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript" SRC="actinicextras.js" TYPE="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
              <link href="artdiscount.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
              <!-- Placeholder of cookie checking javascript code. Do not remove it! -->
              <Actinic:COOKIECHECK/>
              </head>

              Regards

                Actinic support have just sorted this out.

                I have been too tweak-happy and in my templates I had the following code missing -

                <!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:HEADERMETA -->
                <!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:LOADFUNCTION -->
                <!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:SUBMITFUNCTION -->
                <!--@act NETQUOTEVAR:P3PFULLPOLICYLINK -->

                They explained that even though they look like normal comments Actinic uses anything with @act as part of its normal operation.

                Problem fixed!

                Regards
