Can’t get started - Githubissues

jeffcovey commented 4 years ago

Hello, everyone!

I'm sorry to say I can't seem to get started with this gem. Following the instructions, I've installed it and added this to app/views/layouts/application.html.slim:

doctype html
  html
    head
      = display_meta_tags site: "My site's name"
[...]
    body
      h1.pb-2.text-center
        = title 'page title'

The page title is set as a variable from the view, but you get the idea. I've tried setting it as an interpolated variable and as a simple string.

The documentation says: "When views are rendered, the page title will be included in the right spots", but... it's not. The <title> tag contains only the name of the site. The name of the specific page is absent. Can anyone tell me what I'm doing incorrectly?

Thanks very much, Jeff

Same issue

I had this issue but also had Site Name just above the display_meta_tags line and when I removed it, it all started working. Strange though because I swear I have older sites that are setup like that and the tags just got ignored. Maybe I'm wrong.
