SetTitle always append defaults

[iwasingh]

Hi and thanks for the great work.
I don't know why but whenever i set new title in my controller, for example with SEO::setTitle('test'); or SEO::setTitle('test',false); the defaults value of title on seotools.php is appendend. That means the final title of the page will be 'test+defaults_title'. How can i override the value on seotools.php or disable the append of the default title?

here is the seotools.php
`<?php

return [
'meta' => [
/*
* The default configurations to be used by the meta generator.
*/

    /*
     * EXCLUDE SEO ROUTES PANEL
    */
    /*
     * More about
     *    - titles at: https://moz.com/learn/seo/title-tag
     *    - description: https://moz.com/learn/seo/meta-description
     *    - canonical url: https://moz.com/blog/canonical-url-tag-the-most-important-advancement-in-seo-practices-since-sitemaps
     */
    'defaults'       => [
        'title'        => "myDefaultString", // set false to total remove
        'description'  => "MyDefaultDescription.", // set false to total remove
        'separator'    => false,
        'keywords'     => [ 'test'],
        'canonical'    => false, // Set null for using Url::current(), set false to total remove
                                 //multiple pages considered as one
    ],

    /*
     * Webmaster tags are always added.
     */
    'webmaster_tags' => [
        'google'    => null,
        'bing'      => null,
        'alexa'     => null,
        'pinterest' => null,
        'yandex'    => null,
    ],
],
'opengraph' => [
    /*
     * The default configurations to be used by the opengraph generator.
     */
   
    'defaults' => [
        'title'        => "myDefaultString", // set false to total remove
        'description'  => "MyDefaultDescription.", // set false to total remove // set false to total remove
        'url'         => false, // Set null for using Url::current(), set false to total remove
        'type'        => false,
        'site_name'   => false,
        'images'      => [],
    ],
],
'twitter' => [
    /*
     * The default values to be used by the twitter cards generator.
     */
    'defaults' => [
      //'card'        => 'summary',
      //'site'        => '@LuizVinicius73',
    ],
],

];

I don't know what exactly you are trying to achieve here. Do you want to disable/remove the default title on entire site or just for your controller/controller method?

[iwasingh]

Yes, in a certain way, i want disable/remove the default title for my controller/controller method.

[isneezy]

As the docs says to set the default title to false if you do not want it, so the simple way of doing that is to override it in your controller.

/**  Display the specified resource. **/
public function show(Request $request){
  config(['seotools.meta.defaults.title' => false]);
  $this->seo()->setTitle("Your title");
  return view('your.view');
}

Update
If it is necessary that the controller always have to hide the title by default, simply move the configuration line to the constructor

Problem solved, thank you!

If I may make a suggestion - the way this is explain in the docs is not very clear. "default" usually means the value that's used when none is explicitly set. The fact that it's appended to a value unless explicitly disabled is a little strange.

Great plugin though!
