I need to place unique description and keywords meta tags to each page. Tried this. But its not clicking.
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Title";
ViewBag.Description = "Test";
ViewBag.Keywords = "Test1, Test2, Test3";
}
How do I place the meta tags in MVC 3 Razor Engine?
In the layout you could define a section:
<head>
...
@RenderSection("metas")
</head>
and in view:
@section metas
{
<meta name="description" content="Test" />
<meta name="title" content="Title" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Test1, Test2, Test3" />
...
}
or in the layout:
<head>
<meta name="description" content="@ViewBag.Description" />
<meta name="title" content="@ViewBag.Title" />
<meta name="keywords" content="@ViewBag.Keywords" />
...
</head>
and in the view:
@{
ViewBag.Title = "Title";
ViewBag.Description = "Test";
ViewBag.Keywords = "Test1, Test2, Test3";
}
You can do as you did, but you have to link them in your _Layout.cshtml. Add this to your _Layout.cshtml in the <head>
section:
@if(ViewBag.Description!=null)
{
<meta name="description" content="@ViewBag.Description" />
}
@if(ViewBag.Keywords!=null)
{
<meta name="keywords" content="@ViewBag.Keywords" />
}
You need to emit <meta>
tags in your layout page that use the values.
You can get the values in the tags by writing @ViewBag.Description
.
