Do you by chance have a simple stupid guide to maximising the SEO capabilities of CMS Builder available? I've read piles of posts, but none seem to relate to the basics such as how to "use CMS Builder to update the content between the <title> tags of your pages where you can place relevant keywords" in plain (easy to understand instructions, and if there's any way to add other metatag info easily?[/#000000]

And question 2 - a simple 1-2-3 step on how to choose the filenames for the pages that CMS Builder updates (e.g. your-webpage.php), so you can also place your targeted keywords in the URL. You had a post in January this year mentioning this is possible, but I can't seem to find any instructions (step by step instructions would be lovely [tongue]) for someone who is new to php.[/#000000]

Specifically, my client want to change the http://www.worldshores.com.au/travel.php?2 with the ending (ie, travel.php?2) being something more relevant (eg. cruisetourItaly). (Note that each of the travel.php?1 (1-9) are a different destination). And advice/info/help would be gratefully received. Thanks in advance.[/#000000]

Re: [Jason] Field Field names

Thanks for the SEO tips, I didn't realise you could add field names in the <head> section. Piece of cake.

However, what I can't figure out is the Filename Fields. For example:
- For my List Page Url = /lease_Detail.php
- For my Detail Page Url = /lease_Detail.php
- For Filename Fields = property_type, suburb (these are my fieldnames on the database)

The page is still coming up as ........./lease_Detail.php?1 Am I correct in assuming that the page URL should come up as ......./(property_type), suburb or have I misunderstood this functionality? Otherwise I don't see the purpose of this Filename Field.

Thanks

Hi,

The field names are the names are values that are appended to the end of the url to make it more descriptive.
So, if you have property_type in your Filename Fields, your link would be in this format:
lease_Detail.php?property_type-recordNumber

However, if you property_type was empty for that field, it would only show the recordNumber. If you have multiple fields in your list, it will only use the first non-blank field.

Hope this helps.
