How to add META tags in Plone custom content template

Question

I have a Plone 4.2 customized home page template (view.pt) that is missing META tags which appear in the (main_template.pt). I've added the entire section from main_template.pt to the same place in view.pt but this fails to add the meta tags.

What structures do I need to add to my template for the meta tags to appear on these custom template types?

Many Thanks!

The solution is that the QuintaGroup SEO Properties package contains a known bug. http://projects.quintagroup.com/products/attachment/ticket/249/unat.diff identifies what changes to make in the case of a Dexterity created Content Type template.

You need to make the change to the package then add it to your site(s) and restart.

Plone has several head slots you can use to have your template's meta tags injected into the right places in the main template. Everything you need is right here: http://developer.plone.org/templates_css_and_javascripts/template_basics.html#head-slots
