How to add meta tags from widget in Orchard?

I'm trying to add some meta tags from widget (/views/parts/ folder) that gets data from database outside of orchard. I need to put them to head section, and frankly I got no idea how to achieve that.

I tried: 

using (Script.Head())
{
 <meta property="description" content="ABC">
}

SetMeta("ABC", "description");

But none of these work :-(

Edit: our document.cshtml code:

@using Orchard.Mvc.Html;
@using Orchard.UI.Resources;
@{
    RegisterLink(new LinkEntry { Type = "image/x-icon", Rel = "shortcut icon", Href = Url.Content("~/modules/orchard.themes/Content/orchard.ico") });

    string title = Convert.ToString(Model.Title);
    string siteName = Convert.ToString(WorkContext.CurrentSite.SiteName);

    string classForPage = "static " + Html.ClassForPage();
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<html lang="@WorkContext.CurrentCulture" class="@classForPage no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8 lt-ie7"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 7]>
<html lang="@WorkContext.CurrentCulture" class="@classForPage no-js lt-ie9 lt-ie8"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if IE 8]>
<html lang="@WorkContext.CurrentCulture" class="@classForPage no-js lt-ie9"> <![endif]-->
<!--[if gt IE 8]><!-->
<html lang="@WorkContext.CurrentCulture" class="@classForPage no-js"> <!--<![endif]-->
<head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <title>@Html.Title(title, siteName)</title> 
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width">

    @{
        Display(Model.Head);
    }

    <meta property="og:title" content="@Layout.Title - @Convert.ToString(WorkContext.CurrentSite.SiteName)">
    <meta property="og:site_name" content="@Convert.ToString(WorkContext.CurrentSite.SiteName)">
    <meta property="og:url" content="@Request.Url">
    <meta property="og:type" content="article">

    <script>(function(d){d.className="dyn"+d.className.substring(6,d.className.length);})(document.documentElement);</script>
</head> 
<body>
    @Display(Model.Body)
    @Display(Model.Tail)
</body>
</html>

Does anybody know how to achieve that?

Solution

  • IResourceManager provides the necessary methods. For use it in view:

    var resourceManager = WorkContext.Resolve<Orchard.UI.Resources.IResourceManager>();
resourceManager.SetMeta(new Orchard.UI.Resources.MetaEntry
{
    Name = "description",
    Content = "ABC"
});

    But it can be also used in other places (e.g. part driver).

    Edit using SetMeta("description", "ABC") in view give the same results.
