Change meta description for extra pages

[bowers01 +]

Hi,
How can I change meta description for extra pages made in administration?
I currently use

{elseif $body=='user/userjoin.tpl'}
	<meta name="Description" content="TruckAndMachinery.Com.Au - Register And Start Selling Free" />
{elseif $body=='user/userlogin.tpl'}
	<meta name="Description" content="TruckAndMachinery.Com.Au - Login To Your Account, Post Ads And Edit Listings" />
{elseif $body=='categories/browse.tpl'}

But wondered how to do it is they all use the same template file or dont even use one.
Cheers

there is a "page number" passed to the script that displayes the page, just check for it and respond accordingly.

You would use the same method to see the template and all the other variables here the same way I told you and hundreds others in the past.

You can test for a number of things to determine which page it is is.

One thing I do because i prefer it is to just test for the title (providing it is unique - and it is good practice to make sure it is anyway) of the page which you put into the page editor when creating the page. You can then test for it in the header of your layout.tpl in the same way. You can do things like this

{if $title == "blabla"}
{assign var=newtitle value=$title}
{assign var=desc value="Free to advertise xxxx and yyy with $newtitle"}
<meta name="Keywords" content= "K1,k2,k3, ..., $newtitle " />
{else}
.
.
.
<meta name="Description" content="{$desc}" />

The reason for assigning variables $newtitle and $desc (not necessary) is that doing it this way can make the logic simpler for lots of tests and secondly you can use the variables imaginatively on your pages (especially for search pages).
