Meta Data in the CMS

When you goto View -> Properties -> MetaData, the form that shows up is treated sort of like a template. You can edit what type of MetaData can be entered by editing the template at /System/metadata.asp.

To access the metadata content from within your asset do the following:


set meta_fields = asset.getMeta(content.item("_cmsId"))
meta_fields.item("title")
meta_fields.item("keywords")
replace(meta_fields.item("description"), vbCRLF, " ")
meta_fields.item("category")
