Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe 3+
- The SilverStripe Orderable module.

Getting started
---------------

[](#getting-started)

- Add the extension to your data class, eg `Object::add_extension('Page', 'MetadataExtension');`
- Navigate to the Metadata section of the CMS (/admin/metadata)
- Create a new Metadata Schema. Note that the 'Title' is what is used to refer to the item from templates, so try and limit this to a-z0-9\_-. characters - eg test\_schema
- Add a few metadata fields - some usual ones are
    - Title (title)
    - Keywords (keywords)
    - Description (description)
- Set the 'Default' value for each of these to $Title. Leave the 'cascade' setting blank for now, as you're providing a default already
- Navigate to a top level page and on its Metadata tab, select the schema you just created; click save
- Enter metadata values
- In your Page.ss template, add the following to output all metadata fields
    - `$MetadataMetaTags`
- To output just the values for a particular applied schema, use
    - `$MetadataMetaTags(SchemaName)`
- To access raw metadata values directly, use
    - `$Metadata(SchemaName,FieldName)` eg `$Metadata(test_schema,keywords)`
