Adding meta keywords to the header in Turbine App

[Alex McLintock <al...@OWAL.co.uk>]

Hi folks,

One of the reasons I like Turbine is the ability to put parameters in the 
URL path to aid search engines who often dislike looking at URLs with a 
query string.

I want to add some meta data to the header something like this...


<META NAME="description" CONTENT="Companies who provide Open Source 
Software support.">
<META NAME="keywords" CONTENT="OSS Open Source Software Support Apache GPL 
Professional ">

Now I have a Turbine 2.x style web app with a default layout and several vm 
screens, but I can't figure out the correct method to add the meta 
information.

If I simply add it in to the template as is then it gets put on the final 
page - but not in the header.

Presumably I need to do something similar to $page.setTitle("My Page 
Title")... but I can't see how... I've been looking through the Velocity 
docs, and the Turbine mailing list... but I'm stumped.

Any suggestions for solving this?

Hi,

VelocityOnlyLayout

is also worth a try. Then you write everything yourself and you write plain HTML.

Hi Alex,

The inof you need is in
http://jakarta.apache.org/turbine/turbine-2/howto/context-howto.html,
under Using the TemplatePageAttributes Object.

Also check out the javadocs for TemplatePageAttributes.
