That doesn't sound right - let me check it out.

That's not how the Meta Tag Manager works - ALL your pages will have at least some meta tags. So I'm not sure what you're looking for here...

well i'm looking for a way to edit the custom pages when you create a new menu item i want to simply edit the title description etc

what i think is the best solution shoulrd be pretty simple to impliment
on the edit menu just add a title
a meta description
and a 'custom meta tags' field
the title will add the title (maybe with a checkbox to include the |domain(or network name)
the description fills in the meta description and if anythings added to custom meta feild it just adds in those meta tags

Those seo guys must have got their hooks into you pretty badly if they've managed to get you paying them to stand by and watch a forum thread?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Education, learning resources, TEL, AR/VR/MR, CC licensed content, panoramas, interactive narrative, sectional modules (like jrDocs), lunch at Uni of Bristol. Get in touch if you share my current interests or can suggest better :)

Thats a problem that needs to be dealt with by the Site Builder core. I'll get it fixed up.

When you create a new page:
* horses
* ponies
* unicorns

the page titles should be:
Horses | Site Name
Ponies | Site Name
Unicorns | Site Name

but right now they all say
Home | Site Name
Home | Site Name
Home | Site Name

I'll get it fixed up as soon as I can.

This is implemented in jrMenu version 1.0.10 and is in the marketplace now.

The menu name is set in
/modules/jrMenu/templates/page.tpl

to use the $menu_title. If you could setup a way to add extra stuff to the menu item, you could use that in a template over-ride at
/skins/(YOUR SKIN)/jrMenu_page.tpl

and retrieve the info you wanted for the page title and use that. Its a bit fiddley because the jrmenu system doesnt use the Form Designer, but possible.

Its not a fixed explanation because I've never built what your wanting before. Its just a guide to how I would look for how to do it.

I'm not certain which the best way would be. Depends on how many pages need to be done with different titles to their menu links.
