Meta tags are useful to define certain page properties that are not visible to users but can be useful for other applications and search engines like Google or social networks like Twitter and Facebook.

Many modern PHP applications use Model-View-Controller (MVC) frameworks that allow developers to define aspects of the presentation of the application pages with view scripts.

This package allows developers to easily set page property meta-tags using view scripts for applications developed using the Yii2 framework.

Extension to help setup the standard HTML meta tags besides the ones defined by Opengraph and TwitterCard to contribute to website SEO

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist daxslab/yii2-taggedview "*"

or add

"daxslab/yii2-taggedview": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Configuration

Configure the View component into the main configuration file of your application:

'components' => [
    //...
    'view' => [
        'class' => 'daxslab\taggedview\View',
        //configure some default values that will be shared by all the pages of the website
        //if they are not overwritten by the page itself
        'image' => 'http://domain.com/images/default-image.jpg',
    ],
    //...
]


Defaults

The component will try to set some properties by default:

$this->site_name = Yii::$app->name;
$this->url = Yii::$app->request->baseUrl;
$this->locale = Yii::$app->language;

You can overwrite the content of this tags in every page or in the component configuration.

Usage

Once the extension is configured, simply use it in your views by:

<?php 
    $this->title = 'page title';
    $this->description = 'page description';
    $this->keywords = ['keywords', 'for', 'this', 'page'];
    $this->image = 'http://domain.com/images/page-image.jpg'; 
?>
