Meta description for forum

[oloman]

Hi Everybody,

My forums and sub-forums don't have meta description, where can I add them?
I wrote description for each one, but meta description doesn't exist.

Thanks

When you edit/create a new node, the description becomes the meta description, as indicated by my screenshot below:

Once you've updated this, view the source of your forum or sub-form and you should see the meta description in the code:

Thanks chris, but not in my website. The description does'nt become meta description.
Maybe I deleted a line in a template?

Maybe you're missing this section from the forum_view template:

<xen:if is="{$forum.description} AND @threadListDescriptions">
	<xen:description class="baseHtml">{xen:raw $forum.description}</xen:description>
</xen:if>

Well, if I put this code, it works (I have to delete "AND @threadListDescriptions"), :

<xen:if is="{$forum.description} ">
    <xen:description class="baseHtml">{xen:raw $forum.description}</xen:description>
</xen:if>
