Look in Act_Primary and Act_BrochurePrimary, these are the standard template files that the pages are built on. If the meta will be the same on all pages then you can add it into the template, otherwise if you want to add meta info that is different per page then you will need to create a CustomVariable, insert that into the templates and define it at Section level.

thanx

so do i just add it under here?
<META NAME="ACTINICTITLE" CONTENT="NETQUOTEVAR:PAGEHEADER">

Yes, that would be where the other metas are.

if you want to add meta info that is different per page then you will need to create a CustomVariable, insert that into the templates and define it at Section level.

This advice is very helpful for adding meta data to section pages. But is there a way of adding a particular meta data element to just the homepage, and to no other page? I can define a custom variable, but can see nowhere to set custom variables for the homepage itself. Sorry if I'm just being blind...

I think the only way to do this in v7 is to have a different template for the homepage. Copy the Act_Primary (or Act_BrochurePrimary) that is being used currently, make the changes you need that are specific, save the file as say My_Act_.... and then in Actinic apply that template to the page that you want instead.

Thanks for the quick reply. I had an inkling it might be something like that, but was hoping there was a neater way! But, yes, that does make sense. I might do that, then.
