Meta tags

How to use html metadata on articles

When a new article or post is created it is added to the catalog of products either by using the meta tags of the page or the sesamy-content-data tag.

These tags are required to create a valid product: titledescriptionimageprice and currency.

In addition, there are optional fields that for instance can be used to create subscriptions.

The fields are fetched with fallback so for instance the title field is fetched from the sesamy:title meta tag if available. If it isn't available it falls back to the og:title meta tag and so on.
