  Hi there,
  
  Is there anyway to get pnmeta working with pn763? If not, is there similar module to dynamicaly generate meta title, description and keywords?
  Thanks.

  You can use SetTitle for the titles and MetaDescription for the descriptions. You don't need keywords since they will not get you any benefit within search engines anymore but can get you kicked out of their index if you try to spam.

  Thanks for that, I'll give it a try.
  
  Are there any plugins to modify robots="index,follow"? as you don't want some pages indexed.
  
  BTW
  I don't agree about keywords, meta description wasn't important in the past but now it is - words in meta description come up in serps. keywords may become important some day too. I try (when I can) get the keywords right for my sites.

  .
  1) there are still Search Engines that uses the meta-keywords tag. By editing the Xanthia plugin function.keywords.php you can turn it on, just override the setting that's nolonger used in the admin.
  

  Code

  function smarty_function_keywords($params, &$smarty)
  {
      $key = 1;

  
  By adding $key = 1; Dynamic keywords are turned on.
  .
  2) For the indexing or not indexing I've created a quick'n'dirty xanthia plugin because i had the same issue. Some pages i don't want to be indexed. The plugin looks at the URI and based on a set of words it returns 'noindex,follow,noarchive' or 'index,follow,noarchive'.
  .
  The plugin works fine, just I'm not known with arrays, so the ruleset is a big line of if's
  It can be found here: http://zartoxide.xs4all.nl/index.php?name=Downloads&req=viewsdownload&sid=1&newlang=eng
  .
  The MetaDescription is a nice plugin, but it's not working on all modules. When using this plugin, and you're in a module that its not compatible with the plugin, the field is left blank. For the description meta field i just use the same as the page title which is shown in the browser.

  Thank you ZarToXidE. I'll have a look at your plugin. Just to let you know, as far as I know from SEO perspective it's not a good idea to use the same string in meta description as in the title. First I'd try to have a different description but if it's not possible I'd rather not have a description at all. At the moment on few of my sites on some pages I too have desc = title but will be changing it as soon as I have time.
