Better metatags for your SilverStripe Projects.
The module will add a $MetaImage to each page and a fallback $MetaImage to the $SiteConfig that will be used if no image is defined on a particular page (to avoid this behavior do not fill in the $SiteConfig.MetaImage in the CMS). It will automatically generate OpenGraph and Twitter meta tags based on pages $MetaDescription.
SilverStripe CMS ^4.0

$MetaTagsX
</head>Be sure not to include $MetaTags in your <head>, the module includes it in the default template. To customize the rendering of the metatags copy the template MetaTagsX.ss to your project theme.
Why the X? Because $MetaTags was taken by the SilverStripe default metatags =).

<?php
use Arillo\MetaTags\MetaTagsExtension;
class Page extends SiteTree
{
public function getCMSFields() {
// move meta fields
return MetaTagsExtension::prepare_cms_fields(parent::getCMSFields());
}
