    Trouble with showing meta-description and meta-keywords

    Hey guys,

    I am having trouble with showing my meta-description and meta-keywords. On my document type I have defined a metaDescription property. In my master template I have added the following code in the 'head' section:

    " />

    When I view my page source I get the following:

    content=""<umbraco:Item" field="metaDescription" recursive="true" />" />

    So I decided to change some double quotes to single ones. I have now the following code:



    However, in my page source I still don't get the meta-description I have defined for the page but:

    content="<umbraco:Item field='metaDescription' recursive='true' runat='server'></umbraco:Item>" />

    Is there anybody who has encountered a similar problem and has found a solution for this?

    Hans

    Hi Hans,

    I had the same problem a few weeks back and solved it by putting single quotes in the HTML Tag. Hope this helps you also

    Hi Richard,

    Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately this solution didn't work for me. In de page source I still get

    content="<umbraco:Item field="metaDescription" recursive="true" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>" />

    Do you have any other ideas?

    Hi Hans,

    I had the same problem today.

    Turns out I had runat="server" set on my head tag, if you remove the runat from the head tag it will work.

    You can read more about it on my blog: http://munkimagik.wordpress.com/2009/02/11/gotcha-in-umbraco/

    I use the macro solution provided by Richard:

    [code]<meta name="Description" content="<umbraco:Item field='metaDescription' runat='server'></umbraco:Item>" />

    <meta name="Keywords" content="<umbraco:Item field='metaKeywords' runat='server'></umbraco:Item>" />[/code]

    Works for me! (Without runat="server" in the <head> tag.

    You can use insertTextBefore and insertTextAfter

    <umbraco:Item field="pageName" 
    insertTextBefore="&lt;meta name=&quot;keywords&quot; content=&quot;"
insertTextAfter="&quot; /&gt;" runat="server" />

    Here is yet another solution which I find nice since you can keep the head runat="server" and keep the code quite clean without &lt; and &gt;

    Use a nameless asp:placeholder like this:

    <asp:placeholder runat="server">
<meta name="description" content='<umbraco:Item field="metaDescription" recursive="true" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>' />
    <meta name="keywords" content='<umbraco:Item field="metaKeywords" recursive="true" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>' />
</asp:placeholder>
