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'; 
?>
