HI Nico, thanks for the response. I was running 0.60, I upgraded to 0.8.2 and it seems to have fixed the issue.

Also in the google preview mode: if your URL is somewhat long will overlap on top of the Meta description. (it's a CSS issue, could always do a nowrap on the URL, or tuncate it, i'm not sure what google does.) just making you aware of the issue.

Great plugin, really liking the the ability to set character limits. Great work!

[Nico Knoll]

Thank you for the kind words. Could you add the issue on github?

Hey Nico

The solution to the preview URL wrapping over the text below for your module is this code below:

span.SEO_google_link {
  position: relative;
  overflow: hidden;
  white-space: nowrap;
  background-color: #fff;
}
span.SEO_google_link:after {
  content: "";
  pointer-events: none;
  position: absolute;
  width: 50px;
  height: 100%;
  top: 0;
  right: 0;
  background-image: -webkit-linear-gradient(right, #ffffff, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0));
  background-image: -moz-linear-gradient(right, #ffffff, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0));
  background-image: -ms-linear-gradient(right, #ffffff, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0));
  background-image: -o-linear-gradient(right, #ffffff, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0));
  background-image: linear-gradient(to left, #ffffff, rgba(255, 255, 255, 0));
}

Well I think I solved it today using text-overflow property: http://jsfiddle.net/gryzzly/cbppL/

Hi,

at first, thanks a lot for this useful module!

I'm trying to figure out, how I can set the title for the homepage by hand, while using {title} - {sitename} automatically for all other pages. {title} - {sitename} automatically for all other pages is working fine, but the homepage shows always "Home | " before the sitename. Even though I have entered (under the homepage SEO tab) the title that I want, manually.  I prefer the sitename only for the homepage. I am sure that this can be easily solved somehow, but I don't get it :-/

Thanks for help!

[Nico Knoll]

I would recommend you to turn off the SEO auto title function and do it yourself using the SEO parameters. Like this:

<title><?php echo ($page->id == '1') ? $page->seo->title : $page->seo->title.' - '.$config->seo->sitename; ?></title>

Hi Nico,

thanks a lot for the lightspeed fast reply! What you recommend is working pretty fine! Thank you!

[Nico Knoll]

You're welcome

Hi Nico,

First, thanks for this great module, nice job.

Just one thing about Open Graph metas : shouldn't it use <meta property> instead of <meta name> ?

[iNoize]

Hey people, 

i try to chose the SmartKeywords with an tags (page | multiplearray) field.

http://prntscr.com/7d7yi5

what i have to change that i get as Keywords the title of the choosen pages ? 

currently i have the id's in the code 

<meta name="keywords" content="1088|1091|1082|1083|1084|1085|1086">

where i have to make changes in the Module  ?

	// case 'keywords': 
					 	if($configData['keywords']) {
					 		$pageData['keywords'] = $configData['keywords'];
					 	} elseif($configData['keywordsSmart'] && $page->get(implode('|', $configData['keywordsSmart'])) != '') {
					 		$pageData['keywords'] = strip_tags($page->get(implode('|', $configData['keywordsSmart'])));
					 	}
					 break; 

or here 

// Default Keywords
		$field = $modules->get("InputfieldText");
		$field->name = "keywords";
		$field->label = __("Keywords");
		$field->description = "";
		$field->value = $data['keywords'];
		$field->columnWidth = '50%';
		$field->showIf = 'useParents=0';
		$fieldset->add($field);

		$field = $modules->get("InputfieldAsmSelect");
		$field->name = "keywordsSmart";
		$field->label = __("Smart Keywords");
		$field->description = __("We will use those fields (in this particular order) if you don't fill in the keywords field");
		foreach($fields as $selectField) $field->addOption($selectField->name);
		$field->value = $data['keywordsSmart'];
		$field->columnWidth = '50%';
		$field->showIf = 'useParents=0';
		$fieldset->add($field); 

Nobody an solution for me ??

Havent installed it yet, but is this module ready for multilingual sites?

Best regards

[Nico Knoll]

@Juergen: Yes, most of it. If you install the module there is a short explanation on the bottom of the config page.

[Juergen]

Thanks for your answere Nico!!

I will try it out.

[Peter Knight]

I have the Title Format option set to

{title}, {sitename}

How would I make the module use a filed called 

Long_Title instead of title but only is Long_Title is set

I tried the following using a pipe

{Long_Title | title}, {sitename}

[Nico Knoll]

@peter: Good idea but at the moment it only supports title and sitename.

So you have to leave that field empty and do it manually as explained above: https://processwire.com/talk/topic/8007-markupseo-the-all-in-one-seo-solution-for-processwire/?p=85640

[Peter Knight]

Can someone assist with some SEO Module questions I have?

By default, the SEO tags are outputting by default just before the </head>.

I'd like them to render instead right after the opening <head>

If I want to choose exactly where they render, someone posted that this work

 <?php echo wire('page')->seo->render; ?>

On my site, this works but renders the SEO fields twice. In the default location (before the closing HEAD) and in the preferred position after the opening HEAD.

My second question is if the following (and only) How to use is still correct?

$page->seo // includes all the default values mixed with the page related seo data

// e.g.:
$page->seo->title
$page->seo->keywords

// for rendering:
$page->seo->render

I might be doing this wrong but including any of the following renders nothing

<?php
echo $page->seo;
?>

or 

<?php
echo $page->seo->title;
?>

or
<?php
$page->seo->render;
?>

Thanks - appreciate it.

[Nico Knoll]

Well 

<?php echo wire('page')->seo->render; ?>

or 

<?php

echo $page->seo->render;
?>

are the way to go. 

In your settings you can either enable automatically insertion of the meta fields (so you dont need to do this) or you can enable "manual" and then you will need this code (or you're rendering the tags in some other way)

Ah, thanks Nico. That was it

Hallo,

till today I used version 0.3.0.

Now I have deleted this and replaced it with 0.6.0. Since this I miss the SEO-tab.

What makes the SEO-tab apear again?

Hi,

I have the same problem now after updating to Version 0.8.2.

After I have specified the templates no SEO-Tab apear again.

What can I do get my seo inputs again?

[Nico Knoll]

@guenther55: Go to the settings page and select the templates that should get seo fields

[guenter55]

@guenther55: Go to the settings page and select the templates that should get seo fields

I did this and now I select an other page once more, but no Seo tab!

I got the same error as @Tyssen and I am not able to deinstall the modul!

My solution for now: in site/modul directory I reactivated the 0.3.0 Version - seo tab and all inputs are back! The old version works for me and I dont see really need to update.

But I hope you can find the bug and maybe I can update with a next Version in future.

Did just PR the german translation of this great module...

https://github.com/Manfred62/pw-modules-lang-de/pull/1

proud to contribute with some translation.

One Feature request comes in my mind - that would be a nice to have - and for my installations i probably would challange this with some little hooks on page saving...and some hacking - but within the moduel it would be much better.

feature of the "smart" title|description would be:

->if some smart fields are set

-> that on first page publish

-> if no SEO fields are filled out by the user

->the smart title|desc should filled in the seo_ fields

 This has the benefit that the Google Preview would work and simple editors see what really would generated at frontend -> and they can improve this output with own entries in the seo_fields....

i think this would be a hook after page save and Page::statusUnpublished.....but i'm not so expirenced to edit such a complex module...i'm just able to hack a little bit with my (german: gefährlichem Halbwissen)

regards mr-fan

[mr-fan]

some little example code how i hacked the "prefilling" option into the seo_fields from own content fields....if i've the time i transform it to a simple module with some settings for the fallback fields...what this code does:

it take a look only if a user publish a page and if seo_title , desc, keywords are filled....and if not it uses several text fields that the templates provide as an fallback that the seo_ entries not empty - so you think why - The smart settings in the module do that on frontend, too!

Yes but a editor that takes a look at the SEO Tab see it empty with some strange example text....and i wanna let see him what will be the output in frontend. I don't like empty fields while in frontend some magic works that nobody see at a first glance.

This is what i meant with - fill the "smart" things in the page fields if the user doesn't set them...or i'am thinking to complicated here?

regards mr-fan

code runs in admin.php - some functions for better striptags and some other functions to get the right output....

/**
 * Hook for changing seo_* fields if empty on Page Publish
 */

$pages->addHookAfter('saveReady', null, 'changeSeoFields');
function changeSeoFields(HookEvent $event) {
	$page = $event->arguments[0];

			// check if seo_title fields are exist and if they are empty

Where I could find the echos in the module? For example if I want to change a meta tag name, maybe for example from <meta name="description" to <meta name="DC.description" ?

When I change

$field->name = "description";

in line 574 nothing happens.

I would not really change anything - regardless of it, would it be possible?

The module has no custom template, right?
