Update to MetaManager module for SilverStripe
Det här inlägget vänder sig främst till webbutvecklare och är skrivet på engelska. This post is mainly intended for web developers.
MetaManager is a module for the CMS SilverStripe that automatically generates the metadata tags.
Meta description will be set from the beginning of the page content.
The meta keywords will be set to the words in page content ordered by number of occurrences.
The module is configurable from the module’s _config.php where you can:
- set the amount of keywords, minimum word length and exclude words.
- disable the url segment popup that shows every time you change the page title
- hide the ExtraMeta tab.
- choose to hide the checkbox and choose checkbox position.
I have made some improvements and updates to the MetaManager module:
State of checkbox is now saved per page
This makes it possible to override the default metadata behavior on a per page basis. Useful to manually edit the description and keywords, for instance when page content field is empty.
Made keywords unique
Keyword list no longer contains duplicates since comparsion is now case-insensitive.
Tab position option
Added option to select which tab the checkbox is displayed at.
Default position moved from Content/Main tab to Content/Metadata tab.
Excluded words
Added common English and Swedish words to the list of excluded words that not will be used as keywords.
MetaManager was developed by Martijn van Nieuwenhoven.
This version also includes an update made by Juanitou for better UTF8 handling to make it support non-english languages better.
Installation
1. Place the metamanager folder in the root of your SilverStripe installation.
2. Run yoursitename.com/dev/build
3. Change the settings as you prefer in metamanager/_config.php.
