Getting dynamic metadata working in Textpattern
Hi there,
I am a Textpattern newbie and I can’t seem to get dynamic meta keywords and description to work. Where am I going wrong? On my pages I have:
<txp:if_section name=”“>
<txp:article_custom section=“homepage” status=“sticky” form=“meta_dynamic” />
<txp:else />
<txp:if_individual_article>
</txp:article status=“sticky” form=“meta_dynamic” />
</txp:if_individual_article>
</txp:if_section>
(meta_dynamic form is just this as an article form:)
<title><txp:page_title /></title>
<meta name=“description” content=”<txp:custom_field name=“Meta_Description” /> />
<meta name=“keywords” content=”<txp:keywords />” />
Can anyone help?

<txp:if_section name="">
<txp:article_custom section="homepage" status="sticky" form="meta_dynamic" />
<txp:else />
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article status="sticky" form="meta_dynamic" />
</txp:if_individual_article>
</txp:if_section>You had a typo in the second <txp:article/>. I can’t remember if this kind of nesting works with the 4.0.6 parser though.
Edit: Your article_custom won’t pull the keywords for the current article though – check out rah_metas for a simpler way.

I don’t know rah_metas yet but you may want to have a look at Trick: Textpattern with page dependent header meta description (and the comments!) which is an older article on performancing.com by me.
