silverstripe-MetaDataObject
===========================

[](#silverstripe-metadataobject)

\##Requirements

- Silverstripe 3.1+

\##Installation

- Install to silverstripe root
- `dev/build?flush=1`

\##Introduction MetaDataObject allows you to apply basic MetaData to any DataObject including MetaTitle, MetaDescription, og:title, og:description, and og:image. Default functions can be optionally declared to supply dynamic fallback data. CMS interfaces for each of the fields are also provided in a 'Meta' tab, allowing overrides. The field data is always preferred if set.

\##Usage Apply the extension to your custom DataObject class.

```
CustomDataObject:
  extensions:
    - 'MetaDataObject'
```

Optional - provide fallback methods for each of the available meta properties on each decorated custom DataObject:

```
	public function getDefaultMetaTitle()
	{
		return ...;
	}
	public function getDefaultOGTitle()
	{
		return ...;
	}
	public function getDefaultMetaDescription()
	{
		return ...;
	}
	public function getDefaultOGDescription()
	{
		return ...;
	}
	public function getDefaultOGImage()
	{
		return ...;
	}
```

In your controller action, retrieve the meta data by calling DataObjectMeta on the desired object of the custom class:

```
	public function view() {
		$item = $this->getItem();
        ...
		$meta = $item->DataObjectMeta();
		return array_merge(
			$meta,
			array(
               'OtherData' => $OtherData
			)
		);
	}
```

Your template should be set up to display the fields individually, rather than the SS/Simple merged MetaTags per this example. Fallbacks for the title & og:title tags are recommended.

```
    $MetaTitle$Title - $SiteConfig.Title

```

\##About The goal of this module is to be light weight and flexible for use in a variety of controller routing situations. Controller action integration is intentionally not included. For a more fully-featured module to handle viewing DataObjects as pages, see

\##Contributing Pull requests & issues are welcome to make this module more flexible & powerful.
