Can’t get started

[jeffcovey]

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 <title>Site Name</title> 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 <title> tags just got ignored. Maybe I'm wrong. Oh, well, it's working now.

I’m afraid this isn’t the answer for me. I don’t have <title> set in addition to display_meta_tags.

Worked for me - Thanks Tressa-Sanders!

Hmmm but it looks like you have this in the body:
= title 'page title'

Sorry, I should have said that my five-month-old question no longer reflects what I’m doing now. 🙂

Now I’m using:

= display_meta_tags site: 'site title',
      title: 'page title',
      og: { title: 'page title', site_name: 'site title' },
      image_src: image_url('front.jpg'),
      keywords: 'foo, bar, baz',
      description: 'yada yada'

I still get just the title of the page in <title>.
