That link for the Evo installer don't really explains how to do it.
Although when I take some time into looking at other packages etc. I prolly will come a far way.
Missing a good tut for that.

I don't use the PackageManager yet, there is no 1 click install package-list.
Which is possible with Shop: http://extras.evolution-cms.com/

Thanks for sharing Haw, gona dig into that.

I have a couple of SEO projects and added some custom SEO tab for meta description, keywords, custom title etc.
This will fit in very good.

//
Should be great if there would be an EVO SEO install package with this stuff.
My wish is still that EVO has these kind of packages and we can install it with just one click.

Love your idea.... Something like this? tongue

https://github.com/Nicola1971/Seo4Evo

It's in my "Store repository" too, but i dont know how share my repository on extras.evolution-cms.com [ed. note: banzai last edited this post 12 years, 2 months ago.]

Thanks

If you don't use Package Manager

Create a package in your personal "store" repository on extras.evolution-cms.com
add link to my github download package: https://github.com/Nicola1971/Seo4Evo/archive/master.zip
Login in your Store Module
Install

Any help and suggestion to extend the Seo4Evo package are welcome.

1) Meta Keywords

We can add a "meta-keywords tv" with "Manager Manager blog tag editing"
(normally i use documenttags tv for keywords )

2) Meta Description

There are many solutions for description: modx description field, introtext or snippets like:

DynamicDescription
http://modx.com/extras/package/dynamicdescription

or

Agel_Nash's Summary snippet
http://extras.evolution-cms.com/packages/rabota-s-resursami/summary.html

3) Meta Property (facebook, google +)

We can add some examples of complete meta tags set:

<title>[*CustomTitle*]</title>
<base href="[(site_url)]">
<meta charset="[(modx_charset)]" />
<meta name="description" content="[[DynamicDescription? &descriptionTV=`introtext`]]">
<meta name="keywords" content="[*pagetitle*],[*DocumentTags*]">
<link rel="publisher" href=" ">
<meta property="og:site_name" content="[(site_name)]" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:url" content="[(site_url)][~[*id*]~]" />
<meta property="og:image" content="[(site_url)][*thumbnail*]" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content=" "/>
<meta name="copyright" content="[(site_name)]" />
<meta property="og:description" content="[[DynamicDescription? &descriptionTV=`introtext`]]" />
<meta property="og:title" content="[*pagetitle*]" />
<meta name="robots" content="[*RobotsIndex*], [*RobotsFollow*]" />
....

...and more tongue

Yea, need to think about the options.

- keywords are still being used by some searchengines if I'm correct.
Dunno about using documenttags for it, with that you can select used keywords on a easier way? And add a "links-cloud" thing front-end? Both ways would be oké with me. Meta keywords and description should be default.
- I like the maxWordCount on title (70) and descriptions (160).
- that socialmedia stuff will be nice also, but that should be an option.
- add googleanalyticscode, or only UA-123456789
- add canonical link, I always add it.
- check for double titles?
- YAMS

- https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/screenshots/
I like the snippet preview

I'm still hoping PackageManager will get a list with downloadable packages.
Thats why I rather use Store or do it myself.

Well done Nicola!! my next projects will have this tab as default for sure

Question: the 301 redirects, does it need to be a textarea? maybe better to use a textfield?
Description needs to be a textarea tongue

Maybe add the text: (max 160 characters) and if it isn't too hard a charactercount?

Is translation possible? https://www.transifex.com/projects/p/modx-evolution-extras/

Also the example like google is pritty nice if that isn't too hard to add.
Title: font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 18px; color:#1a0dab; line-height: 1.2;
Alias: color:#006621; font-size: 13px; font-style: normal;
Description: line-height: 1.4; word-wrap: break-word; color: #545454;

Thanks again

Thanks fourroses

About 301 field - from VirtualAlias plugin docs : "aliases should each be added on a separate line".
Agree about descrition field (changed to textarea mini in RC2).

There is no translation because all text are inside tvs - if you want translate : just transalte tvs (we should create translated tvs packages to overwrite with package manager)

The Google example is cool, but actually I dont know how create it.
Probably with a custom tv?!?

NOTE: I'm not a coder and i don't know php.

Anyway, for the new RC2 version, i've created a new snippet named "Seo4Evo", based on the old "Metatags snippet by Soda".
Copying the logic structure of the code (as i said dont know php) and investigating a little on modx gettemplatevaroutput.

The new snippet output all metatags and takes care of all the conditionals (no more default tv values).
Also there are many updates and new features (canonical url, open graph, google plus).

I will open a separate discussion because now we're off topic in this thread
