ok. here is the question. i created a custom template called contact.php using this feature:- ok i have the page contact.php accessible. but i would like to modify the header and main meta of the page as the page shows Mysite.com:Main. Which i would like to change the title of the page to Mysite.com:contact us and some other meta description and meta keywords. It seems like this custom template is from the main index page.How can i do this? Thanks a lot. Edited by morton82 on 01/21/05 - 01:45 PM

You should be able to change the title like this I think: $area = ': Contact'; To use unique meta data, you'd either need to use conditionals in your wrapper to show different bits on different pages or use a custom wrapper (which would involve adding a $customwrapper = 'newwrapper'; ).

Custom wrappers: http://scripts.webmastersite.net/wsnlinks/wsnmanu... Including it in contact.php could be done with this: $customwrapper = 'wrappername';

$customwrapper = 'wrappername'; still does not do the work when i included into the contact.php. I have to use /contact.php?customwrapper=customwrappername link in order for the title and meta to show up. I tried creating a new language called {LANG_TITLE_CONTACT} but i am no programmer and duno how it works. Although now i can show the main title but it will be better without the ? sign and added i have to change the wrapper each time i make changes to the main wrapper. :<

Perhaps you also need $_GET['customwrapper'] = $customwrapper; $_REQUEST['customwrapper'] = $customwrapper; below the $customwrapper line.
