Use the meta author and meta keywords tags..?

I’ve searched the forums and tried one or two of the suggestions involving forms, but for some reason, everytime I try the txp:meta_xxxx tags, I only get an empty line in the page. This is when using the tags directly in the head of a page template or in a custom form. Any ideas?

I’m sure it’s something stupid I’ve missed. :)

Using TXP 4.0.3

TIA

the txp:meta_keywords tag only works on an individual article page

does it work in that context?

I did see this, but was confused by the term ‘article page’.

Is this a article, a page template or (less likely) a form? I think the wiki needs a little clarification there for newbies.

So I tried them all – and the same result everytime – blank lines where the tag is inserted. The rest of my template and tags work great. This is my second TXP site, so I’d like to think I’m over the initial learning curve – but perhaps not! :/

Re: Use the meta author and meta keywords tags..?

I’m sure it’s explained well somewhere… but when you see your site from the front-end, you basically have “list” pages and “individual article” pages; for example:

• the url /about is calling a section called “about” and a txp:article tag in that context will output 10 most recent articles posted in “about”
• the url /about/credits is calling an article titled “credits” in the “about” section … the txp:article tag in this context is outputting a single article

having said all that, try txp:keywords as the tag
