A simple django package for managing meta tags, og tags, images, and descriptions dynamically.

Project description

PAGE META

Page meta is a Django package allowing to add meta tags, og tags, images, and descriptions dynamically. Meta tags are stored in models and can be managed through Django admin (or any CMS).

Installation

pip install django-pagemeta

In settings file

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'pagemeta',
    ...
]

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...
    'pagemeta.middleware.MetaRequestMiddleware', # for binding meta into the request
    ...
]

Creating a Meta tags

  • Run the server.
  • Go to the Django Admin > Pagemeta > Meta for Pages.
  • Create Meta for pages, use full absolute url in page_url. Also supports relative url but might varies in different domains.
  • To create default tags for the whole system, use page_url as default or DEFAULT (case insensitive)

Usage

Load the meta tags in template

In your template

<head>
    ...
    {{ request.meta }}
    ...
</head>

Page titles are not rendered through request.meta. To render page title see the below example.

...
<title>{{ request.meta.title }}</title>
...

For conditional titles request.meta_exact will be good. request.meta_exact contains the exact meta tags for the url or None. Whereas request.meta contains default value if no match found.

...
<title>{{ request.meta_exact.title|default:'Default title' }}</title>
...

OR

...
<title>{% if request.meta_exact %}{{ request.meta_exact.title }}{% else %}Title for {{ article }}{% endif %}</title>
...

Set a Custom Meta tags

If you want to set a custom meta tags for specific pages or conditions, you can reassign request.meta with an instance of Meta.
Note: context variable can be overridden if MetaForPage for that url exists

Example code:

class MyView(TemplateView):
    ...

    def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
        ...
        # adding custom meta
        self.request.meta = Meta(
            title='custom test',
            description='custom description',
            image_url='http://image_url_dot_com',
        )
        ...
