First I want to thank you for such a great program, I love AutoTheme! It's generally very easy to navigate as long as you know a little about what you're looking at :)

My current problem is with meta tags. Today I set up the meta.php for my site. The problem is - it doesn't show in my page source. So I did some searching around and found a few tips and tricks. I put new meta tags in the header.php and I even toyed around with the atCommands.php. Not being as php savvy as I'd like to be, I made my entire site a pretty shade of white. (which of course made us realize it was dynamic)

So my husband started helping with it too. And at this point (it's nearly 3am) my brain is fried, but we have the meta tags showing up in the page source. Just not in the right place.

Now when you view the page source of my site you see:

<meta name="copyright" content="Copyright (c) 2005 by Twixal">
<meta name="description" content="">
<meta name="distribution" content="Global">
<meta name="generator" content="AutoTheme - http://spidean.mckenzies.net / PHP-Nuke - http://phpnuke.org">
<meta name="keywords" content="PHP-Nuke, AutoTheme">
<meta name="rating" content="General">
<meta name="resource-type" content="document">

(we obviously aren't you, we didn't copyright in 2005, we really do have content, and we'd like to include our own keywords) LOL

Then several lines later, after the AutoTheme information you see:

<title>Twixal Family Gaming</title>
<meta name="revisit-after" content="7days">
<meta name="robots" content="index, follow">
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
<meta name="description" content="Family Gaming">
<meta name="keywords" content="twixal, games, gaming, family gaming">

(This info is pulled from a theme.html file in my theme directory)

I have several more keywords to put in, but right now we just need them to be in the correct place.

What file actually contains the meta tags? I'd like to simply remove "PHP-Nuke, AutoTheme" and add my own, but when I do that the site turns white as I mentioned above :)

If I've thoroughly confused you, I'm sorry. If you have any questions feel free to ask. The domain in question is www.twixal.com

Thanks for any help you may be able to give!

Asten

Something else that bugs me but isn't a huge deal (just annoys me) is:

Recommend Us and Statistics pages both have double headings at the top of the page. Like Recommend Us says:

Recommend this Site to a friend

Recommend this Site to a friend

So if anyone can point me in the right direction to get rid of one of those...

You can add meta tags in the Head Content Extra of AutoTheme.

You can change other information in the head of the page by editing the proper template in modules/AutoTheme/templates/php-nuke/. The default is HTML401_Transitional.html.

Don't hack any non HTML template files in Nuke or AutoTheme, it is not necessary.
