hi,
Is it possible to allow entering the meta description manually. currently it takes it directly from the first few lines of the story page which is working perfectly. however it would be great to have a way to write the meta description manually for every story instead of dynamically having them.

If this is not possible is there any way to assign the meta description by using summary. that is the first few characters of summary to be used as meta description.
version:1.03b

thanks

This could be done using the extra fields. Then assigning the field data to be used for the meta information.

After you set up your extra field in the submission, you could probably use something like this in your meta file.
Code:
{if $pagename eq "story"}<meta name="description" content="{if $Enable_Extra_Field_1 eq 1}{if $link_field1 neq ""}{$link_field1}{/if}{/if}" /> {/if}
