danny englanderI think this is accomplished by creating a custom meta tag and associate it with the path of the view. (I never knew there were nodewords options in views UI if that's what you meant.)
What I have taken to do lately is use context to render a block of a view on a plain "page" content type node and then you have all the goodness of editing meta tags right in place on that page.
At any rate, see the attached image in my comment here: http://drupal.org/node/774944#comment-3514378
Comment #2
dave reidI don't think Nodewords has ever supported editing meta tags directly in the view UI itself.
Comment #3
damienmckenna@DaveReid: it hasn't, but it'd be a neat feature.

Anonymous (not verified) commentedOh - Hmm I'm sorry, I must have been mistaken or mixed this up with something else. I was going thru a lot of metatag/views related modules and was desperately trying to figure out an option provided to add metatags to views pages based on the nodes it's displaying/referencing. Late at night, of course. :-) I read in an issue here about "missing fieldsets on views edit pages" and desperately tried to figure out while it's missing here, too. ;-)
Sorry, my bad! Still, I agree, tighter Views integration would be really sweet. :-)

mjohnq3 commentedThe funny thing is, there's a section on Views meta tags in Drupal 6 Search Engine Optimization (Packt 2009 Ben Finklea) on page 103. It begins:
1. Meta tags can only be added to existing Views. If the View that you need
doesn't exist yet, create it and then edit it.
and then:
3. You'll see the meta tags fields listed near the bottom of the edit screen.
4. Enter your meta tags into the fields provided.
The book references version 6.x-1.0 of Meta Tags.
Must have been removed sometime later.

Anonymous (not verified) commentedAh. So I wasn't hallucinating I guess. Glad to know. :-)
From what I understand, it was probably removed due to reasons concerning the Views UI, remember reading that in some of the posts in this issue queue. People were not liking the fieldset much so it got dropped. Well, that's actually too bad because handling it this way (or similarly, doesn't have to be a fieldset :P) would be quite nice for properly setting up SEO for Views. Right now, there's no easy, automated way to do this (I know of). And Views is what a lot of people use. It would seem logical to go into this direction. But I'm sure there are reasons.
Are there any plans to reanimate this idea? Would be very cool.
Comment #7
damienmckennaScheduling this for later.
Comment #8
quicksketchRe-categorizing. Funny how this module has actually lost functionality over time. Maybe we can mine this functionality from the old version? Thinking about it... maybe we should just write it over again though considering the history of this module.

damienmckennaDe-tagging, will review priorities after the next stable release.
Comment #10
damienmckennaFYI this *was* an option at one point but it was removed by the maintainer at the time.
