Generator HTML Tag
29 June 2010 at 4:05am
Hi All,
Just noticed that Silverstripe 2.4 now gernerates a generator HTML tag in the sites HEAD. Though this doesn't bother me for most sites, we have some high security sites built in Silverstripe that I would feel more comfortable about removing this for.
Is this possible, and if so, how?
Cheers,
Mo

Copy the MetaTags() function from SiteTree.php to your own Page.php. Then you can customize it as much as you need.

Oooo, I have always wondered how you customise MetaTags, never really put a lot of time into working it out though.
Cheers Willr!

Re: Generator HTML Tag

Hi there, so my site works fine in every browser except for explorer (using IE7). My site header looks like this:
<% base_tag %>
<title><% if MetaTitle %>$MetaTitle<% else %>$Title<% end_if %> » $SiteConfig.Title</title>
$MetaTags
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />I like how the generator works and i would like to include it in the header. Unfortunately explorer is displaying the Custom Meta Tags in the public header of my site.
The only way i have been able to fix this is by deleting $MetaTags line from the header code but as i said, i would like to include the meta tags and the problem is with IE only.
Can someone point to how I can fix this?
Thank you, P.

I like this post, because I had thought about this before, but did not know where to go to customize it a little...
I had a client ask about generating Canonical URLs for their Silverstripe site....now I though to myself - with SS you don't really need Canonical URLs because the SS URLSegment is so sweet and simple. (Other CMS struggle at this with params etc)....
Anyways I had created a method in the Page class that generates the Canonical URL, and then when I saw this post, I thought why not customize the MetaTags function and have it generate it instead of putting the call in the .ss template.
So here goes some code.
1. Create a GetCanonical Method in your Page class controller (there are bunch of if/else statement to try and handle actions/IDs/OtherIDs in the NestedURL structure of 2.4)
function GetCanonical() {
if (Director::urlParam('Action')) {
$action = Director::urlParam('Action');
$parameterID = urlencode(Director::urlParam('ID'));
$parameterOtherID = urlencode(Director::urlParam('OtherID'));
if (strcmp($action, $this->URLSegment) == 0 && empty($parameterID) ) {
return false;
} else if (strcmp($parameterID, $this->URLSegment) == 0) {
return false;
} else if (strcmp($action, $this->URLSegment) != 0 && empty($parameterOtherID)){
return $action . '/' . $parameterID;
} else {
return $parameterID . '/' . $parameterOtherID;
}
}
}2. Add this simple line to your MetaTags function
$tags .= "<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"" . $this->AbsoluteLink() . $this->GetCanonical() . "\" />\n";
This should work with simple URLs as well as accomodate the case of DataObjects being displayed with action/ID functionality. Please feel free to take it, use it, or even provide feedback on a better and more efficient means to achieve this.

What about custom controller?
Director::addRules(50, array('shop/$Action/$ID' => 'Products_Controller'));
class Products_Controller extends Page_ControllerI tried:
public function MetaTags($includeTitle = TRUE){
$tags = "<title>TEST</title>\n";
$this->extend('MetaTags', $tags);
}
and got nothing -

2 things to add to the Canonical discussion...
1) If you're just adding a tag, it's simpler to pull it into the .ss file than override the MetaTags function. (The original reason overriding MetaTags was recommended in this thread was to remove a tag.)
2) The canonical tag should include the domain name if there's a chance that multiple domains or subdomains point to the same page, so the code below uses protocolAndHost.
In the Page.php define...
function CanonicalURL() {
return Director::protocolAndHost() . $this->Link();
}...then in Page.ss...
<head>
<% base_tag %>
<link rel="canonical" href="$CanonicalURL" />
$MetaTags
</head>Note that this doesn't include edk's solution for dealing with virtual pages (good point!), but the two could easily be merged...

Hi, I tried to use the function GetCanonical by -Ed,
so i added
- function GetCanonical() to the page.php
- $tags .= "<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"" . $this->AbsoluteLink() . $this->GetCanonical() . "\" />\n"; to SiteTree.phpand i also added the code from inCharge
function CanonicalURL() {
return Director::protocolAndHost() . $this->Link();
}
to page.php<link rel="canonical" href="$CanonicalURL" />
