yiiSEO

Description ¶

YiiSEO has been completely refactored. It is lot more flexible and now you can make almost any SEO changes without changing your code.

Features :

• single language and multi-language site support
• can be used to add author meta, FB meta and many more
• uses inverse hierarchy to find meta data

Requirements : update your URLManager in /protected/config/main.php this way :

'urlManager'=>array(
            'urlFormat'=>'path',
            'showScriptName'=>false,
),

Installation ¶

1. Unpack 'yiiseo' folder to '/protected/modules/'
2. Add folowing code to configuration files (protected/config/main.php)

'modules'=>array(
            ....
            'yiiseo'=>array(
                    'class'=>'application.modules.yiiseo.YiiseoModule',
                    'password'=>'111', // your default password is 111
                 ),
        ),
 
        'components'=>array(
            ....
            'seo'=>array(
            'class' => 'application.modules.yiiseo.components.SeoExt',
            ),
        ),
 
        'import'=>array(
            ....
            'application.modules.yiiseo.models.*',
        ),

3.Run following line of code that suits you into your main layouts head :

• In case the site has one language:

`Yii::app()->seo->run();`

• In case when site is multilingual:

`Yii::app()->seo->run(Yii::app()->language);`

4.Run module by typing in the link : http://yoursite.com/yiiseo/

Usage ¶

When you enter this module - you'll see the usual CRUD. For starters - press CreateYiiSEOUrl. In the form below enter your meta data.

URL URL - is the relative link to your project. For example - if you want to write meta for the root(homepage) of your project - just write "/" in the URL.

Another example : You need a SEO meta data for http://example.com/sites/news page. Than in the URL - write down "sites/news" (without shash in the beggining)

If you want to use it for multiple links - for example you have links like this http://example.com/post/7 and you need all posts to have the same meta patern - just use following URL "post/*"

Main meta There are 3 metas that we devided from the rest : Title, meta description, meta keywords. In case of title or description - just type the text as you would usually do. In keywords write down phrases separated by commas.

Params Using the params is a tricky part. To use a param in main meta - just use the "{param}" in place where you want it to be. After that - choose it from the list. The list is auto generated from site models and there relations.
