When creating sites from a sub-area using the Site Directory
Template, you have the ability to configure a variety of metatags
that describe those sites and allow views of the sites based on those
metatags. However, once you create sub-sites under those top level
sites, you lose the ability to further metatag the sub-sites.
Therefore, if the metatags for the sub-sites differ from those of the
parent, you are no longer able to configure those differing tags for
the children.
Does anyone know of any way to assign metatagging to sub-sites and,
once assigned, view those sub-sites in a consolidated manner, across
site collections, based on the metatags? We've already thought of
the usual making customized lists, etc. We would prefer a dynamic
way to do this with little or no manual intervention.
We've considered one workaround that would give you;
1. the ability to view an inventory of all sub-sites, and
2. the ability to assign metadata/metatags to the items in the
inventory, where some of the metatags are being pulled or passed
through from the top level site metadata and other metatags are being
added by the user creating the sub-site.
Unfortunately, we are not sure just how to implement this solution
and wanted to poll the membership to see if anyone has implemented a
solution similar to this.
