Is it possible to edit {{ghost_head}}?

Madusanka · May 4, 2021, 3:36am

I am running on ghost 3.37.1 and I need to change the default Structured Schema Article component to NewsArticle in some of my pages.

As I identified {{ghost_head}} adds everything and I searched through the folders but could not find a template file for the head.

Any help / idea would be highly appreciated

You can’t edit ghost_head because it’s a helper. If you want to override the metadata, you’ll need to create a template that doesn’t use the helper, but does include the same content

Hi again,

Any idea on the content of ghost head?

Obviously I can view the HTML output but not the helper file. I want to make some small changes to the social graph output and don’t want to break anything else.

You can find the source code to the head helper here:

github.com

TryGhost/Ghost/blob/8966f45993aa45ea56711ccb2766eb47614c8d2d/core/frontend/helpers/ghost_head.js

// # Ghost Head Helper
// Usage: `{{ghost_head}}`
//
// Outputs scripts and other assets at the top of a Ghost theme
const {metaData, settingsCache, config, blogIcon, urlUtils, labs} = require('../services/proxy');
const {escapeExpression, SafeString} = require('../services/rendering');

// BAD REQUIRE
// @TODO fix this require
const cardAssetService = require('../services/card-assets');

const logging = require('@tryghost/logging');
const _ = require('lodash');
const debug = require('@tryghost/debug')('ghost_head');
const templateStyles = require('./tpl/styles');

const {get: getMetaData, getAssetUrl} = metaData;

function writeMetaTag(property, content, type) {
    type = type || property.substring(0, 7) === 'twitter' ? 'name' : 'property';

Thanks, I am not able to pull this into head.

I was looking for more information such as the following, https://github.com/TryGhost/Ghost/issues/3900 this gives a lot of the intention of ghost_head structured data and open graph, but some information is missing
