Can I add my own site titles and meta tags for each individual page and if so how?

Titles you can accomplish a couple of ways, all of which were detailed over at the mamboserver.com forums at one point, though I don't know if you can find them now.

Here is one method posted on mosforge.

You can find two other methods here.

The metadata you set in an individual item are used unless there is none, then the global configuration metadata are used.

Hi, thanks for you tips tonyskyday,

please excuse any dumb assumptions on my part, I'm a musician trying to build a cuople of sites not a dev or coder

I've tried the first metatitle hack by alwarren on mos forge snippets

http://mosforge.net/snippet/detail.p...e=snippet&id=7

and also the page titles you pointed to at http://mosdoc.mamboserver.com/wakka....nts_Tips&v=x46
I chose the part 2 hack by ralf the cat (part one didn't work for me cause i'm using simpleboard)

correct me if i'm wrong, but the page titles hack is for a different purpose right?- making metadescription and metakeywords unique to individual content items and overiding the global site metadesc and meta keyw

whilst the als metatitle hack is for site meta title only?

anyway... i succesfully config'd the page titles hack and it works , but with the metatitle hack...

I have a problem reduced to 2 questions:

1. the hack details don't say 'where' in the index.php code to put the extra snippet...


...and though i've tried various attempts, i can't get my sitename 'Computer Music Online' as configured in MOS sites global config to appear in the page source...all i get is 'Home'

and

2. Also... there is already a title tag in my index.php ....

and I'm not sure whether I'm supposed to replace the old title tag with the new one or add to it somehow?

If anyone can help with these 2 questions I'd really appreciate it

Thanks
