A CakePHP helper to handle some common topics.
Include helper in your AppView class as
$this->loadHelper('Tools.Common', [
...
]);
echo $this->Common->sp('Singular', 'Plural', $count, true);
If using explicit translations or if no I18n translation is necessary, you don't need the 4th argument:
echo $this->Common->sp(__('Singular'), __('Plural'), $count);
Canonical URL:
echo $this->Format->metaCanonical($url);
Alternate content URL:
echo $this->Format->metaAlternate($url, $language);
RSS link:
echo $this->Format->metaRss($url, $title);
Generic meta tags:
echo $this->Format->metaEquiv($type, $value, $escape)
