Thread: Duplicate meta description

How can I change the meta description to pages like shoppingcart.aspx?

Thanks

For pages that don't have appconfig parameters created/specified allowing you to change these from within the admin section will need to be specified manually. Because each of the pages inherit from the SkinBase class, you can access and set these properties directly in the Page_Load method. For example, to set the meta description in the shoppingcart.aspx page, open the shoppingcart.aspx.cs page and add

Code:

SEDescription="your description";

to protected void Page_Load. Alternatively, you could set the SEDescription to a string resource you've created, or a new appconfig you've created so that you would then have control of these via the admin section

thanks for this. trying to root out duplicate titles and descriptions via google webmaster tools in some of the MS 9.2 page. i also added the following to rewrite the title and keywords for our invalid request page (invalidrequest.aspx.cs) within the void Page_Load section:

Code:

   //set page title
   Page.Header.Title = "Invalid Request Page Title";
   //set page meta description
   SEDescription="Invalid Request. The action you have requested is invalid.";
//set page meta keywords
   SEKeywords="Invalid Request";
