For SEO implications.   In your module... (in C#)

((DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault)this.Page).Title = "This page's new title";
((DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault)this.Page).Description = "some description...";
((DotNetNuke.Framework.CDefault)this.Page).KeyWords = "some keywords";

These are moved to the final resting place in Default.aspx.vb in Page_PreRender.

For extra credit, can someone figure out the right way to change the ROBOTS meta tag dynamically?  i.e., I'd like to set certain, admin-ish pages available to end-users to be NOINDEX.

 

(Okay, perhaps most of this is obvious to the non-newbie, but after googling around I didn't find the answer...)

Easy, since the <HEAD> tag is set to 'runat="server".' Put this in the PreRender event handler:

For Each obj As Object In Head.Controls     ' <<< or >>>  For Each obj As Object in Page.Header.Controls
   If obj.GetType Is GetType(HtmlMeta) Then
      Dim meta As HtmlMeta = CType(obj, HtmlMeta)
      If meta.Name.ToLower = "robots" Then
         meta.Content = "NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"      '<<< whatever value you want it to have
      End If
   End If
Next

Or, if you need C#--

foreach (object obj in Head.Controls)  // or // foreach (object obj in Page.Header.Controls)
{
 if (obj.GetType == typeof(HtmlMeta))
 {
   HtmlMeta meta = ((HtmlMeta)(obj));
   if (meta.Name.ToLower == "robots")
   {
     meta.Content = "NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW";
   }
 }
}

Thanks, works like a charm!   Here it is with the VB-ish removed...



using System.Web.UI.HtmlControls;     // at top


// in PreRender for page


foreach (object obj in Page.Header.Controls)

{

 if (obj.GetType() == typeof(HtmlMeta))

 {

  HtmlMeta meta = (HtmlMeta)obj;

  if (meta.Name.ToLower() == "robots")

   meta.Content = "NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW";

 }

}

"VB-ish" ?  LOL!

My personal opinion... If you really want to have all doors open to you, learn and be expert in BOTH languages!

Glad I could help.

Heck, I've been doing this C# thing for years now and I'm still learning! For better or worse I started this project (www.radioshowlinks.com) with the ASP.Net Portal Starter Kit 4 years back and wish to migrate/upgrade to DNN - the downside being a reasonable amount of working 'legacy' code in C#. So for now I'm hanging in there with C# -- using C# for module development seems to work very well so far, despite occasionally having to muck around in the core source code in VB... (and it limits any temptation to modify the core!)

Cheers - and thanks again!!!
