    • Easy way to prefill Description during edit page?

    Posted by WizarDave

    I've poked around some of the files and am not finding where I would do this.

    I would like to prefill the Description on the Properties Tab during page creation.
    "A Virtual Front Porch to discuss {{ page }}"
    And then hopefully I can train users to update as necessary.

    I don't really want to do this from the Admin > Meta Tag > Description, since I want to be able to customize it on an as needed basis.

    Thanks for any help,
    WizarDave

    A quick hack would be to modify the tiki-editpage.tpl template. You could include a default value in the Description's input class. Maybe something like this:

    Copy to clipboard
    < input class="form-control" type="text" id="description" name="description" value="{$description|escape|default:'A virtual font porch to discuss '$page}">


    Although:

    1. I'm not positive how to add the $page variable — you might have to escape it.
    2. I'm also not sure that the $page is set until after you save the page.


    Someone else may have a better idea.....
