- Kirby 3
- PHP 8.0
Download and copy this repository to site/plugins/meta-tags
.
composer require wearejust/kirby-meta-tags
After installing the Meta Tags plugin, you need to add one line to the head
element on your template, or header.php
snippet:
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
+ <?php echo $page->metaTags() ?>
By default the metaTags
page method will render all tag groups at once. But you can also render only one tag at a time:
<?php echo $page->metaTags('title') ?>
Or specify which tags to render:
<?php echo $page->metaTags(['og', 'twitter', 'json-ld']) ?>
The plugin ships with some default meta tags enabled for your convenience:
return [
// other options...
'wearejust.meta-tags.default' => function ($page, $site) {
return [
'title' => $site->title(),
'meta' => [
'description' => $site->description()
],
'link' => [
'canonical' => $page->url()
],
'og' => [
'title' => $page->isHomePage()
? $site->title()
: $page->title(),
'type' => 'website',
'site_name' => $site->title(),
'url' => $page->url()
]
];
}
]
The wearejust.meta-tags.default
option is applied to all pages on your Kirby site. Of course you can change the defaults. In order to do that, just copy this example to your site/config/config.php
file and tweak it to fit your website needs.
Following the flexible spirit of Kirby, you also have the option to add template specific meta tags:
return [
// other options...
'wearejust.meta-tags.templates' => function ($page, $site) {
return [
'song' => [
'og' => [
'type' => 'music.song',
'namespace:music' => [
'duration' => $page->duration(),
'album' => $page->parent()->url(),
'musician' => $page->singer()->html()
]
]
]
];
}
]
In the example above, those settings will only be applied to pages which template is song
.
For more information on all the meta
, link
, Open Graph and Twitter Card tags available, check out these resources:
Both the wearejust.meta-tags.default
and wearejust.meta-tags.templates
accept similar values:
It accepts an array containing any or all of the following keys: title
, meta
, link
, og
, and twitter
. With the exception of title
, all other groups must return an array of key-value pairs. Check out the tag groups section to learn which value types are accepted by each key.
'wearejust.meta-tags.default' => function ($page, $site) {
return [
'title' => 'Site Name',
'meta' => [ /* meta tags */ ],
'link' => [ /* link tags */ ],
'og' => [ /* Open Graph tags */ ],
'twitter' => [ /* Twitter Card tags */ ],
'json-ld' => [ /* JSON-LD schema */ ],
];
}
This option allows you to define a template specific set of meta tags. It must return an array where each key corresponds to the template name you are targeting.
'wearejust.meta-tags.templates' => function ($page, $site) {
return [
'article' => [ /* tags groups */ ],
'about' => [ /* tags groups */ ],
'products' => [ /* tags groups */ ],
];
}
When a key matches the current page template name, it is merged and overrides any repeating properties defined on the wearejust.meta-tags.default
option so you don't have to repeat yourself.
These groups accept string, closure, or array as their values. Being so flexible, the sky is the limit to what you can do with Meta Tags!
Corresponds to the HTML <title>
element and accepts a string
as value.
'title' => $page->isHomePage()
? $site->title()
: $page->title(),
You can also pass it a
closure
that returns astring
if the logic to generate thetitle
is more complex.
The right place to put any generic HTML <meta>
elements. It takes an array
of key-value pairs. The returned value must be a string
or closure
.
'meta' => [
'description' => $site->description(),
'robots' => 'index,follow,noodp'
],

<meta name="description" content="Website description">
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow,noodp">
This tag group is used to render HTML <link>
elements. It takes an array
of key-value pairs. The returned value can be a string
, array
, or closure
.
'link' => [
'stylesheet' => url('assets/css/main.css'),
'icon' => [
['href' => url('assets/images/icons/favicon-62.png'), 'sizes' => '62x62', 'type' =>'image/png'],
['href' => url('assets/images/icons/favicon-192.png'), 'sizes' => '192x192', 'type' =>'image/png']
],
'canonical' => $page->url(),
'alternate' => function ($page) {
$locales = [];
foreach (kirby()->languages() as $language) {
if ($language->code() == kirby()->language()) continue;
$locales[] = [
'hreflang' => $language->code(),
'href' => $page->url($language->code())
];
}
return $locales;
}
],

Where you can define Open Graph <meta>
elements.
'og' => [
'title' => $page->title(),
'type' => 'website',
'site_name' => $site->title(),
'url' => $page->url()
],

<meta property="og:title" content="Passionate web developer">
<meta property="og:type" content="website">
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Pedro Borges">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://pedroborg.es">
Of course you can use Open Graph structured objects. Let's see a blog post example:
'wearejust.meta-tags.templates' => function ($page, $site) {
return [
'article' => [ // template name
'og' => [ // tags group name
'type' => 'article', // overrides the default
'namespace:article' => [
'author' => $page->author(),
'published_time' => $page->date('Y-m-d'),
'modified_time' => $page->modified('Y-m-d'),
'tag' => ['tech', 'web']
],
'namespace:image' => function(Page $page) {
$image = $page->cover()->toFile();
return [
'image' => $image->url(),
'height' => $image->height(),
'width' => $image->width(),
'type' => $image->mime()
];
}
]
]
];
}

Use the namespace:
prefix for structured properties:
author
insidenamespace:article
becomesog:article:author
.image
insidenamespace:image
becomesog:image
.width
insidenamespace:image
becomesog:image:width
.
When using Open Graph tags, you will want to add the
prefix
attribute to thehtml
element as suggested on their docs:<html prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns#">
This tag group works just like the previous one, but it generates <meta>
tags for Twitter Cards instead.
'twitter' => [
'card' => 'summary',
'site' => $site->twitter(),
'title' => $page->title(),
'namespace:image' => function ($page) {
$image = $page->cover()->toFile();
return [
'image' => $image->url(),
'alt' => $image->alt()
];
}
]

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary">

<meta name="twitter:image" content="https://pedroborg.es/content/blog/my-article/cover.jpg">
<meta name="twitter:image:alt" content="Article cover image">
Use this tag group to add JSON Linked Data schemas to your website.
'json-ld' => [
'Organization' => [
'name' => $site->title()->value(),
'url' => $site->url(),
"contactPoint" => [
'@type' => 'ContactPoint',
'telephone' => $site->phoneNumber()->value(),
'contactType' => 'customer service'
]
]
]
If you leave them out,
http://schema.org
will be added as@context
and the array key will be added as@type
.
