How do you create metatags for pages, not for nodes. The default option gives us access to node-level tagging, but our pages consist of multiple nodes, so this doesn't seem very helpful.

It appears that by using the Meta tags:Context submodule, we can enter each path manually. We've given this a try, but so far nothing is printing on the page. Not to mention that this is an extremely tedious and cumbersome method - our site isn't that large, but still quite a bit of effort to manage this wholly separate workflow. Wouldn't it be better if the tags were contain on the page edit view?

Website is here: http://noveoninternational.com

Anyone have advice for how to tackle this? I read another thread that suggested that Meta Tags Quick had a mechanism that works by pages.

Thank you.

So your actual pages are built up of multiple nodes, rather than the usual thing of one node = one page? What is the master object that manages each individual page - a master node, a Panels page, Context, etc?

Thank you for your timely follow up.

Answer is Panels, I believe. I didn't build the website, so my knowledge is somewhat limited, but if I go to edit the page using a context menu, it says 'edit panel'. Each page is uniquely constructed using some combination of nodes that I manually selected and positioned.

Here is link to a edit view of that I typically work in. https://www.diigo.com/item/image/q6hl/ry5u. Perhaps you will recognize and can confirm. I can also contact developer to get definite answer if necessary.

Thanks for your help.

Ah, is this what I need? http://drupal.org/project/metatag_panels

The description and, especially, the screenshot look like just what I'm looking for.

But it looks like barely anyone is using it. What do you think?

Yes, that is the Panels interface you're using. Just to mention it, your site has a strange architecture :)

And yes, you will ultimately want Metatag Panels, though I'm aiming to merge it into the main module soon.

Ultimately you need whatever we work out for on #1498740: Panels integration - meta tags available on variant settings pages. Marking this as a duplicate, lets continue the discussion over there.

okay. very good. thank you.

when you say the site has a 'strange architecture', what do you mean? what is strange about it?

It's not common to stack multiple nodes together like that, especially when each node has its own normal display. It's not that it's bad, just a little strange ;-) I've worked on other strange structures too by necessity of the project's (slightly crazy) requirements, I just try to push people away from the crazy. Anyway, this is a little OT for this issue, the most important thing is that if it's working then don't sweat it :)

Hmm, interesting feedback. I found it a little strange too when the developer suggested, but I thought it was how things were done in D7 (my first time doing site using that). In any event, once I got used to it it seems to work quite well for our situation. So, yes, it works. Thx.
