Change the Title, Description and other metadata using code
Hi everyone
I'm tasked with programmatically changing the title, description and other metadata(e.g. keywords) of pages in Sitefinity 4.4.
I am new to Sitefinity 4.x and don't know of a way to achieve this in the new API's.
Can you help me please?

Hey Yosief,
It's SUPER easy :)
Here's how: LINK
You should be able to use intellisense to browse the properties you can change.

Hello Steve or anyone, old thread but the solution doesn't seem to work for me.
Here is what I have:
DynamicContent myPartner = GetPartner(myPartnerUrl); //this gets returns a custom module object by Urlvar currentPage = SiteMapBase.GetActualCurrentNode();UpdateMetaData(currentPage.Id, myPartner.GetValue<Lstring>("metaTitle").Value, myPartner.GetValue<Lstring>("metaDescription").Value, myPartner.GetValue<Lstring>("metaKeywords").Value);
public void UpdateMetaData(Guid PageId, string htmlTitle, string description, string keywords) PageManager pageManager = PageManager.GetManager(); PageData page = pageManager.GetPageDataList() .Where(pD => (pD.Id == PageId && pD.Status == ContentLifecycleStatus.Live)) .FirstOrDefault(); if (page != null) page.HtmlTitle = htmlTitle; page.Description = description; page.Keywords = keywords; pageManager.SaveChanges(); I checked the values my Custom Module is returning by printing them to the the screen and I am getting the correct data back. The function isn't overriding the Page MetaData Fields though?
Talk about doing things the hard way, doing it the normal way works!
Page.Title = myPartner.GetValue<Lstring>("metaTitle").Value;//Add Meta DataHtmlMeta metaDesc = new HtmlMeta();metaDesc.Name = "Description";metaDesc.Content = myPartner.GetValue<Lstring>("metaDescription").Value;Page.Header.Controls.Add(metaDesc);HtmlMeta metaKeywords = new HtmlMeta();metaKeywords.Name = "Keywords";metaKeywords.Content = myPartner.GetValue<Lstring>("metaKeywords").Value;Page.Header.Controls.Add(metaKeywords);
