Tag: Description

I have a custom Drupal module that generates pages for players on my site. The Player Statistics data is updated most of the time. For the sake of usability, I have created a custom module for the player pages.

I have an external database where all player information is stored. My module defines a URL pattern and displays the player's information from the external database upon receipt of the pattern.

My problem is that I was unable to display meta tags and descriptions for my player pages because there is no actual node for my pages. I tried meta tags module and meta tag route modules. However, with these modules I could only define one static meta tag and one description for my entire module, ie there is only one meta description for all pages. I want them to be dynamic and vary from page to page. I've tried the following examples, but I can only add static strings. I want the player to get a wise meta description.

Generate Meta in Drupal 8 Controller

In Drupal 8, add a meta tag to the head

Here is my code structure.

player.info.yml

name: Player Module
description: Creates Page for Player.
package: Custom
type: module
version: 1.0
core: 8.x

player.module

 (
      'variables' => ('result' => NULL),
      'template' => 'player-page-formatter',
    ),
  );
}

player.routing.yml

player:
  path: '/player/{player}'
  defaults:
    _controller: 'DrupalplayerControllerPlayerController::content'
    _title_callback: 'DrupalplayerControllerPlayerController::title' 
  requirements:
    _permission: 'access content'

PlayerController.php

 'player_page_data',
      '#result' => $result,
      '#cache' => ('max-age' => 0),
    );

  }

  public function title($player) {
    $title = "";
    /* --------------
     code logic here 
    ------------------ */
    return (
      '#type' => 'markup',
      '#markup' => $title,
    );
  }

}

I'm stuck with this topic for a long time. Every help is appreciated.
