For CakePHP 3.x compatible version see the [3.x branch](https://github.com/houseoftech/cakephp-meta/tree/3.x). --- \##Installation 1. Install manually by putting the contents of this repository in a folder named Meta in your App's Plugin folder. Install with composer by adding the following to your composer.json: ``` "require": { "houseoftech/cakephp-meta": "2.0.0" } ``` 2. Add the meta table to your database. ``` CREATE TABLE `meta` ( `id` int(11) unsigned NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, `template` tinyint(1) NOT NULL DEFAULT '0', `path` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `controller` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `action` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci NOT NULL, `pass` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL, `title` varchar(255) COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci DEFAULT NULL, `description` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci, `keywords` text COLLATE utf8_unicode_ci, `created` datetime DEFAULT NULL, `modified` datetime DEFAULT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) ) ENGINE=MyISAM DEFAULT CHARSET=utf8 COLLATE=utf8_unicode_ci PACK_KEYS=0 ; ``` 3. Add the component to your AppController. ``` public $components = array('Meta.Meta'); ``` 4. Call the Meta element in your layout's head. ``` ``` \##How to Use Navigate to the Meta admin page: *http://your\_domain/admin/meta/meta* You can add records manually via the form or you can use the link called 'Find New Paths'. This is an initializer which searches your existing pages located under Views/Pages/ and the pages table in your database. The initializer will attempt to extract descriptions as well. \##Meta Record Fields Given a URL such as *http://your\_domain/pages/My-Wonderful-Page-In-Which-I-Explain-All-Things* we can break it down to the following fields stored in the meta table. \###Path This is for your benefit, so you know which page it corresponds to. */pages/My-Wonderful-Page-In-Which-I-Explain-All-Things* To create a template use an asterisk as a wildcard. /articles/view/\* would match any Path beginning with /articles/view/ \###Controller *pages* \###Action *display* \###Pass *My-Wonderful-Page-In-Which-I-Explain-All-Things* When creating a template, leave this field blank. \###Title *The Explanation of All Things* \###Description *All things need some sort of explanation. Explaining all things is not always easy, but I will attempt to do so anyways.* \###Keywords *all things, explanation, explaining, all things explained, explanation of all things* \###Templates When creating a template, you can use variables in the Title, Description, and Keywords fields. Simply use the variable name inside brackets {}. The available variables depend on the Controller, but most Pages will have available the following list. - {id} - Automatically assigned integer representing a record in a database. - {name} - The human readable title of a Page or Post. - {created} - The date and time the record was first created in format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. - {modified} - The date and time the record was last updated in format yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss. \##License This project is licensed under the terms of the MIT license. ### Health Score 38 — LowBetter than 85% of packages Maintenance53 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity15 Limited adoption so far Community12 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity63 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 94.6% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
