jreviews:page_meta:{:name}

Filters the content of specific page meta tags (title, description, keywords, canonical_url, og: , twitter: , etc.). This hook fires for each meta tag type individually, allowing targeted customization based on the meta tag name. Use this when you need to modify a specific meta tag rather than applying logic to all tags.

You need to have a working knowledge of Hooks before you get started.

#Parameters

#Variations

This dynamic hook fires for each of the following variations. The {:name} placeholder in the hook name is replaced with one of these values:

For example, to target the canonical_url variation, you would use:

fwd_add_filter('jreviews:page_meta:canonical_url', function($content, $name, $routeName, $attributes)
{
    // Your code here
    
    return $content;
});

#Boilerplate Code

Use the boilerplate code to start using the filter, and add your own logic to modify the first argument and return it.

fwd_add_filter('jreviews:page_meta:{:name}', function($content, $name, $routeName, $attributes)
{
    // Your code here
    
    return $content;
});

#Examples

• Custom field driven canonicals in listing detail pages
• Only use custom meta description for featured listings
• Prepend Listing Count To Category Page Title Tag

#Custom field driven canonicals in listing detail pages

This example allows using the URL value set in a custom field for the listing detail page canonical tag. This can be useful if for example you publish content that originated somewhere else, like a press release. Using the canonical references the original source, rather than creating a duplicate. The custom field used for the canonical URL needs to remain published, but can be de-activated from list and detail view so it's not visible on the page.

fwd_add_filter('jreviews:page_meta:canonical_url', function($url, $name, $routeName, $attributes) {
    if ($routeName !== 'listing.detail') {
        return $url;
    }

    $listing = $attributes['listing'] ?? null;
    if (! $listing) {
        return $url;
    }

    $custom = $listing->getFieldValue('jr_canonical') ?? null;

    if (! $custom) {
        return $url;
    }

    return $custom;
});

#Only use custom meta description for featured listings

If you sell paid listings, you could include as part your paid plans having a customized meta description tag to make the listings more discoverable for SEO. This simple example shows how to approach this.

fwd_add_filter('jreviews:page_meta:description', function($value, $name, $routeName, $attributes) {
    $listing = $attributes['listing'] ?? null;
    
    // Only continue if it's a listing detail page
    if (! $listing) {
        return $value;
    }

    // Only continue if listing is in a paid category
    if (empty($listing->paid)) {
        return $value;
    }
    
    // Only continue if it's a featured listing
    if (! $listing->featured) {
        return \"Generic meta description for listing {$listing->title}\";
    }

    // Featured listings show the custom meta description or if empty the listing summary
    return $listing->metadesc ?: substr($listing->summary, 0, 150).'...';
});

#Prepend Listing Count To Category Page Title Tag

This example will prepend the total number of listings in a category page to the page title tag.

fwd_add_filter('jreviews:page_meta:title', function($title, $name, $routeName, $attributes) {
    $categoryPage = $routeName == 'category.list';
    
    $count = $attributes['pagination']['total'] ?? null;
    
    if ($categoryPage && $count) {
        $title = $count . ' ' . $title;
    }
    
    return $title;
});
