Re-adds the “Meta Title” field that was removed in SilverStripe 3.1.

By: Loz Calver - [Bigfork Ltd](http://www.bigfork.co.uk/).

Contributing:
-------------

[](#contributing)

Translations were pulled from SilverStripe CMS v3.0.2 (before the `SiteTree.METATITLE` entity was removed). Pull requests are welcome for improving those translations and adding `SiteTree.METATITLEHELP` translations.

Requirements:
-------------

[](#requirements)

This module requires SilverStripe Framework & CMS version 5 and up:

- `"silverstripe/cms": "^5"`
- `"silverstripe/framework": "^5"`

For a SilverStripe 3 compatible version, please use the 1.x line of releases (with composer, require version `^1.0`).

Installation:
-------------

[](#installation)

Installation with Composer is preferred, but not required. Both methods of installation require a `dev/build`.

#### Composer

[](#composer)

```
$ composer require kinglozzer/metatitle:^3.0
```

#### ZIP Download

[](#zip-download)

Simply download the [zip version](https://github.com/kinglozzer/silverstripe-metatitle/archive/master.zip) of this repository, extract it, and copy the directory into your SilverStripe installation.

Usage:
------

[](#usage)

#### CMS

[](#cms)

Content authors can edit the meta title via the new “Meta Title” field that’s added to the “Metadata” toggle fields:

#### Templates

[](#templates)

##### Automatically including the meta title

[](#automatically-including-the-meta-title)

The simplest way to ensure that the meta title is included is to call `$MetaTags` in the `` of your template. This will include the meta title (falling back to page title if meta title is not set) and the site name in the format: `Meta title » Your Site Name`.

The format can be customised by changing the `Kinglozzer\SilverStripeMetaTitle\MetaTitleExtension.title_format` config setting. For example, to change the » to a hyphen:

```
Kinglozzer\SilverStripeMetaTitle\MetaTitleExtension:
  title_format: '$MetaTitle - $SiteConfig.Title'
```

The `title_format` string is rendered as a template, so you can use globally available variables like `$SiteConfig`. `$MetaTitle` is dynamically populated with the meta title (falling back to page title if meta title is not set).

##### Manually including the meta title

[](#manually-including-the-meta-title)

You can access the meta title directly with the `$MetaTitle` variable, should you wish to control how the meta title is output directly in your template. You will need to call `$MetaTags(false)` to ensure that SilverStripe doesn’t automatically output the `` tag too:

```
$MetaTitle$Title » $SiteConfig.Title
$MetaTags(false)
```
