typo3 8.7.x tx_news 7.0.5 overwrite default meta tag title with news title

Question

I'm using tx_news 7.0.5 in typo3 8.7.19 and have troubles with the meta tag title on detail page.

All news get the same title "detail" (name of detail page) and will not get the page title which is the title of the news.

If I edit the opengraph template I can add

<n:metaTag name="title" content="{newsItem.title}" />

But with this i get the meta title twice. So that's a bad idea. Any suggestions how to solve the issue with getting the right meta title in detail page of tx_news?

Thanks :)

Answer 1

you need to disable your default title-generation.

somewhere for each page you have a configuration like

page.meta.title.field = title

this needs to be disabled for pages where you show a news.

the news-detail-pages normaly can be identified by a get-parameter for the news uid

[globalVar = GP:tx_news_pi1|news > 0]
    page.meta.title.field = title
[global]

or you have a list of pages where the news details are displayed:

[page|uid = 123,234,32]
    page.meta.title.field = title
[global]

Be careful if the detail-page also is a list page. this condition does not differ.
