I'm having a lot of problems adding an html tag in head section only on homepage layout (that's defined in my custom theme as page layout). I'm using M2 v. 2.2

In default.xml is defined 

<referenceBlock name="head.additional">
    <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="head.additional.fonts" template="Infortis_Base::html/header/fonts.phtml" after="head.additional.asset-wrapper" />
</referenceBlock>

and I added a block to edit and insert an html tag:

<referenceBlock name="head.additional">
    <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="head.additional.fonts" template="Infortis_Base::html/header/fonts.phtml" after="head.additional.asset-wrapper" />
    <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="head.additional.metas" template="Infortis_Base::html/header/metas.phtml" before="head.additional.asset-wrapper" />
</referenceBlock>

so that I would be able to change the phtml template inside the home xml page layout but if I reference the block it doesn't change.

Any help? I'm on this from 2 days and it driving me crazy. THANKS

  • @SumitVerma I want the tag only on the homepage layout. I use that layout to add and remove content on the page and those other rules are working fine (like inserting or moving containers)

Reset to default

You shouldn't use <referenceBlock name="head.additional"> in default.xml. Because it's the place to define head.additional by default. Instead, if you want to show it on homepage only, you should place your code on cms_index_index.xml. So that:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
/**
 * Copyright © Magento, Inc. All rights reserved.
 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */
-->
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceBlock name="head.additional">
            <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="head.additional.fonts" template="Infortis_Base::html/header/fonts.phtml" after="head.additional.asset-wrapper" />
        </referenceBlock>
    </body>
</page>

Put these code into app/design/frontend/<Vendor_Name>/<Theme_Name>/Magento_Cms/layout/cms_index_index.xml. Then clear cache and refresh. Your block should appear.

Create New cms_index_index.xml under your theme.

/app/design/frontend/Vendor/YourTheme/Magento_Cms/layout/cms_index_index.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!--
/**

 * See COPYING.txt for license details.
 */
-->
<page xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:View/Layout/etc/page_configuration.xsd">
    <body>
        <referenceContainer name="head.additional">
             <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="head.additional.fonts" template="Infortis_Base::html/header/fonts.phtml" after="head.additional.asset-wrapper" />
             <block class="Magento\Framework\View\Element\Template" name="head.additional.metas" template="Infortis_Base::html/header/metas.phtml" before="head.additional.asset-wrapper" />
        </referenceContainer>
    <body/>
</page>

  • Exactly, the previous answer was right just the path it was in Magento_Cms and not Magento_Theme. Thanks
