Anyone figured out how to add custom "description" meta tags to pages?

By Aleet on 7 Nov 2005 at 21:26 UTC

I am working with a search-engines ranking firm that insists having a custom "description" meta tags for each page is essential. The nodewords module only adds keywords tag.

Has anyone figured out how to add description tag also? Can anyone please suggest a way to do this?

The best discussion I found on this so far is here http://drupal.org/node/14811 with issue left unresolved.

drupal pages are based on template files located in the /themes/ directory. each theme has its own templates.

Just add the meta tags to the xtemplate.xtmpl file if using the Xtemplate theme or the page.tpl.php file if using the PHPtemplate themes.

You may want to check out the Drupal Theme Generator program. It does this automatically for you.

I failed to explain well. I need different keywords and description meta tags on different pages. Therefore, editing the template won't help. Waiting to get a modified nodewords module here: http://drupal.org/node/14811
