Question

I'm creating a simple page in my Magento 2 instance.
in the controller for that page I'm trying to set a title for the page and a meta title that should be different.
But I'm not able to do that.
My layout file for the action is almost empty: 

<page layout="1column" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
    </body>

</page>

and my controller action looks like this:

namespace [Namespace]\[Module]\Controller\[Entity];

use Magento\Framework\App\Action\Action;
use Magento\Framework\App\Action\Context;
use Magento\Framework\View\Result\PageFactory;

class Index extends Action
{
    protected $resultPageFactory;
    public function __construct(
        Context $context,
        PageFactory $resultPageFactory
    ) {
        parent::__construct($context);
        $this->resultPageFactory = $resultPageFactory;
    }
    public function execute()
    {
        $resultPage = $this->resultPageFactory->create();
        $resultPage->getConfig()->getTitle()->set('Something');
    }
}

The result is this:

But the meta title is the same as the title (Something).
Changing the line in the controller:

$resultPage->getConfig()->getTitle()->set('Something');

to 

$resultPage->getConfig()->getTitle()->set('Something else');

results in the title (H1 tag) and the meta title changing to something else.

How can I set a different meta title and a title (h1 tag) to a page

Was it helpful?

Solution

This is how I managed to get different Meta Title and Page Heading. I have below code In my block class:

public function __construct(
    \Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template\Context $context,
    \Magento\Framework\App\Config\ScopeConfigInterface $scopeConfig,
    \Magento\Framework\View\Page\Config $pageConfig,
    $data = array()
) {
    $this->_scopeConfig = $scopeConfig; 
    $this->_pageConfig = $pageConfig;   

    parent::__construct($context, $data);
}

 /**
 * Prepare global layout
 *
 * @return $this
 */
protected function _prepareLayout()
{
    $this->_pageConfig->addBodyClass('advance-sitemap');

    if($this->getSeoTitle())
        $this->_pageConfig->getTitle()->set('Meta Title');

    if($this->getMetaKeywords())        
        $this->_pageConfig->setKeywords('Meta Keywords');

    if($this->getMetaDescription())         
        $this->_pageConfig->setDescription('Meta Description');

    $pageMainTitle = $this->getLayout()->getBlock('page.main.title');
    if ($pageMainTitle) {
        $pageMainTitle->setPageTitle('Page Heading Title');
    }

    return parent::_prepareLayout();
}

[EDIT by OP]
You can set the page title from the controller also, like this: 

$resultPage = $this->resultPageFactory->create();
$pageMainTitle = $resultPage->getLayout()->getBlock('page.main.title');
if ($pageMainTitle && $pageMainTitle instanceof \Magento\Theme\Block\Html\Title) {
    $pageMainTitle->setPageTitle('Page title here');
}
//rest of the code here.

OTHER TIPS

Just tried myself for a new custom extension, it works for me : 

public function execute() {
    $resultPage = $this->resultPageFactory->create();
    // Handling page title
    $resultPage->getLayout()->getBlock('page.main.title')->setPageTitle('Page title here');
    // Handling meta_title, meta_description and meta_keywords
    $resultPage->getConfig()->getTitle()->set("Title");
    $resultPage->getConfig()->setDescription("Description");
    $resultPage->getConfig()->setKeywords("Key Words");
    return $resultPage;
}

It shoud do the job !

What about using: 

$resultPage->getConfig()->getMetadata()->setMetadata('title', 'Something else');

for meta title.
