Been searching for a simple answer for this one - I'm sure there is one!

In meta.pl there is the code

{meta type='description' page_type=$meta_page_type page_id=$meta_page_id}

Which generates the meta description.

Now I want to add the date (generated by php with something like

PHP Code:

echo date('jS M Y'); 


so I end up with
<meta name="description" content="4th July 2011 - [description for page from database]" />

Is there a way to do this in Smarty?

You might want to try the '{php}' and '{/php}' tags.

I agree ... but where and how ....

Using {php} tags in smarty is not recommended. Better modify /include/templater/plugins/function.meta.php to include whatever you want in the meta description
