Set Title and Description for listing page

[dadaxr]

I have a url which looks like : http://mysite.com/blog which is an alias of http://mysite.com/entries ( the content type listing ) and I should be able to set a custom title and description metas for that explicit page.

Maybe add an override array based on the "page" slug in the extension config file ? Or a check on a global twig variable which could be overrided in a template ?

Hi,

I'm assuming you're using listing pages as `/category/movies', right? In this case it is't tied to a specifiv record, and the extension won't know how to create a title and excerpt for it..

How about we add these to the config for the extension:

contenttypes: 
    pages: 
        title: "Title for pages" 
        Description: "Meta description for pages. Meta description for pages. Meta description for pages." 
    entries: 
        title: "Title for entries" 
        Description: "Meta description for entries. Meta description for pages. Meta description for entries." 

Would that work?

It should be better indeed.

As for today, i set a twig block with {{ seo.title() }} in the meta, and in an child twig template (used for /category/movies for example ) I override that block content with my own value... does the job but not very clean.

I did the same as @dadaxr but if anyone have a better way, I'll take it !

Hey @bobdenotter, any news on this?

@bobdenotter Are you planning to finish writing this extension for meta title and meta description for the listing pages? It would be nice also meta title and meta description for the taxonomy filtering pages by their values, like this: /taxonomy/optionvalue
