Description Meta Tag in SharePoint Publishing Pages
March 24, 2011 4 Comments
I guess the title is a bit misleading, because in SharePoint 2007 and SharePoint 2010, the Description meta tag does not exist.
After a bit of googling on Bing, I came up with several free solutions people have written, such as Waldek Mastykarz Mavention Meta Fields, WCM Utilities on Codeplex, to name a few. But the solution I landed on was so simple, so easy, so perfectly perfect, I went with it. I found it here: http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en/sharepointecm/thread/d3583140-62de-4e5d-9a84-d0a1f9bff08d
Buried as an unmarked answer, within this thread. This works for both SharePoint 2007, and 2010 publishing pages, and it works well. Below is the reply I am referencing. So, Praggers, whoever you are, thank you.
A note for 2010 (and possibly 2007, I did not take the 2 minutes it would require to find out, sorry!), the “Description” field’s internal name is Comments. So be sure to change FieldName=”Description” to FieldName=”Comments” within the code for your page layout.
Thank you Praggers!
