Hi,
I starting to expand my template library and i'm started identified some areas where i would like to abstract away some repetitive code:
@inherits RenderViewPage@using System.Web.Mvc.Html;@using Umbraco.Cms.Web;@{ Layout = "_Layout.cshtml"; ViewBag.Title = @Umbraco.Field("pageTitle"); ViewBag.MetaKeywords = @Umbraco.Field("metaKeywords"); ViewBag.MetaDescription = @Umbraco.Field("metaDescription");}
In the above example the Meta Data is used across every template in my website. How i abstract those 3 lines of code into a snippet(?) so it can be called with a single line of code OR can it be hardcoded in a controller somewhere?
Thanks
You could create a Partial script to manage the metadata only, and then call it pretty easily. Something like this:
Partial named Metadata:
@{ ViewBag.Title=@Umbraco.Field("pageTitle"); ViewBag.MetaKeywords=@Umbraco.Field("metaKeywords"); ViewBag.MetaDescription=@Umbraco.Field("metaDescription");}
I do this differently, though, by just outputing the <meta name="x" content="y" /> tags.
Calling from template:
@Html.Partial(metadata)
I think you can also put these 3 lines of codes in your _Layout.cshtml file, assuming this is the "root" layout of all your views.
Cheers,
Michael.
Putting the code in _Layout.cshtml will cause a runtime error - Here's my code:
<title>@Umbraco.Field("pageTitle")</title>
<meta name="keywords" content="@Umbraco.Field("metaKeywords")"/>
<meta name="description" content="@Umbraco.Field("metaDescription")"/>

Best place to create reusable snippets of code?
