Hi Adrian,

Have you tried the following? I have it in an old solution (DW8)
Pageview.Meta.Title = "value";

BR, Mario

Hi Mario,

Thank you for the reply.

I have already tried it.

Actually, this solution is based on an old Rizzo code :)

I have tried:

Pageview.Meta.Title="value";

Pageview.Meta.Add("title","value")

Pageview.Meta.AddTag("title","value")

Pageview.Meta.AddTag("customtitle","value")

And a few other combinations.

One of them should have worked as I have done this type of change a couple of times already.

I will probably have to start from scratch with a fresh approach on it.

Thank you,

Adrian

You cannot override the title in the template. Because the template is rendering the pageview, so it is too late.

You have a execution something like this 

1. Pageview created
2. Content executed
   1. With modules
3. Render the pageview with content - all values from the pageview are now put into a template instance in its tag collection. Modifying anything in the pageview after this, will not affect rendering...
4. Now in the layout template - nothing can be changed on the obects after they are rendered.
5. When you are rendering i.e. the body, you can set pageview.meta.title, but it will have no effect because it was already rendered
6. OnAfterOutput notification - here you can change the output of the rendering

So you have to set it some code in 1+2 or in 6

Hi Nicolai,

It makes total sense. I remember that I was able to change the values from Cart module. which is in Step 2 from your flow (if I understand correctly).

I have noticed though that using Snippets might work although I am not sure if this would have any performance impact.

Thank you,
Adrian

Snippets are post processing thing. So after step 6, snippets are moved around.

And yes - it has a performance hit of parsing and moving things around. You can see that in debug=true. It should be minor unless your response markup is large.

Hi Nicolai,

Thank you for the clarification. The markup is pretty slim. it should not affect the performance.

Thank you,
Adrian

hi

Does this mean that it is not possible to set a meta-title from inside a paragraph containing product catalogue? That is the only location where i have the value i want to set as page meta title.

Hi Hans,

You are right, you cannot set it from PageTemplate or Paragraph template.

You can set it from the Module. I have made several attempts and then Nicolai explained the order of how the different parts are processed and I always try to get my values in the Module instead of the Paragraph. Snippets can work in some situations but I have tried to avoid Shippets because of the performance hit. 

Adrian

Ok, thank you very mutch Ardian 👍🏻

When running a product catalog, the title of a group page is set by the module if you fill out the title field on the product group.

The same goes for a product detail page.

Both groups and products have a title field for this.
