I am not entirely sure what exactly are you doing, and your other topic doesn’t really help making things clearer, but as explained in the docs, you need to add the server action you want to use for server side rendering on the content page and its data will be available to pick then:
Is it required to add it to the content page rather than the layout page? I would just be adding the same binding on each page. It seems counter to what a layout page is, which is to avoid having to remake the same thing on all of your content pages.
The way I had previously done it was with a global action. Just query the SEO table for an entry matching the Server URL. Then bind each value to the corresponding meta tag all on the layout page. As seen in Brian’s tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mx9dcR7Hp6I
I wasn’t sure if that way would properly set the social media meta tags. So, I tried to do it with the server-side data. I was hoping to just remake the SEO query I had in global as a normal server connect and set it as the server-side data server connect.
But the output for that server connect query is not accessible in the data picker. If I manually enter the query results into the meta tag fields, it appears to work properly.
Having to make a data template for each SEO field and then also connect every content page’s SEO query to all of those fields seems excessive compared to the way in the video.
Is it not possible to just do it in the layout page? As stated, when I enter the query results manually into the meta tag fields it appears to be working, they are just not visible in the data picker.
Hopefully I explained it a bit better, but if you need any more info let me know.
You try to enter some values on the LAYOUT page and not on the content page Is that correct? If that’s the case can you please post the code of your LAYOUT page with the code you entered?
Ok i see what you mean - the server action selected for the server-side data on the page should appear in the data picker indeed. We are going to check this.
That’s some different approach than what our tutorials show, that’s why i was confused by what you are doing.
Ah ok, it just seems a waste of time to me to have to enter it in on each content page.
If you were to do as your tutorial shows, am I correct in assuming you would need to set up the server action and bind the query results to all of created data templates on each content page? If you have say 10 pages and are using 10 meta tags, you would have to connect 100 query results to the templates?
Also, can I delete the code and video I posted? Or send it to you in a message?
