quintagroup.seoptimizer 4.0.3

Features

quintagroup.seoptimizer allows per document editing of:

• HTML Title tag

• META description tag

• META keywords tag

• HTML comment into page header

• META robots tag

• META Disposition tag

• Canonical URl http://projects.quintagroup.com/products/wiki/qSEOptimizer#CanonicalURL

For Title, description keywords and comment you have statistics (total/stop/used words, field length counter).

IMPORTANT

Starting from 3.0 release - quintagroup.seoptimizer package does not need ‘overrides.zcml’ file. So please remove ‘quintagroup.seoptimizer-overrides’ line from your buildout’s ZCML area.

Usage

• Go to Plone Control Panel, enable Plone SEO for desired content types

• Go to a document (Blog entry, news item, event, etc)

• Switch to SEO Properties tab

• Select Override checkboxes of features you want to override

• Type-in your SEO values

• Save changes

• Do this for all documents that need enhanced SEO properties

Requirements

• Plone 3.x, Plone 4

quintagroup.seoptimizer requires plone.browserlayer package to be installed in your site. plone.browserlayer package is shipped with Plone >= 3.1 and thus you don’t need anything extra when you have that version of Plone.

But for Plone 3.0.x < 3.1 the process looks like this:

• if you are creating a new Plone site and want it to support Quintagroup Search Engine Optimization Tool, just select 2 extension profiles Local browser layer support and quintagroup.seoptimizer profile in ‘Extension Profiles’ when adding a new Plone site;

• if you want to add quintagroup.seoptimizer to already-existing Plone site, you need to apply Local browser layer support extension profile and then quintagroup.seoptimizer profile. You can do it either in portal_setup/Import or in portal_quickinstaller by simple installation procedure.

In Plone 3.1 you can simply install quintagroup.seoptimizer profile in portal_quickinstaller without need of prior installation of Local browser layer support (that is not available for installation anyway, since it is a part of core system).

IMPORTANT! For Plone 3.0.x you should use plone.browserlayer 1.0.rc3. Be sure to define the right version of plone.browserlayer in your buildout.cfg. For Plone 3.1.x just use the version you have.

Notes

• For Plone 4 versions - use Plone SEO 4.0 release and up http://plone.org/products/plone-seo/releases/4.0. In your buildout.cfg file’s egg section set product version:

  [buildout]
  ....
  eggs =
       ...
       quintagroup.seoptimizer >=4.0

• For Plone 3 versions - use the latest Plone SEO 3.x release http://plone.org/products/plone-seo/releases/3.0.5. In your buildout.cfg file’s egg section set product version:

  [buildout]
  ....
  eggs =
       ...
       quintagroup.seoptimizer >3.0,<4.0

• For Plone 2.x versions - use Plone SEO 1.7.1 release http://plone.org/products/plone-seo/releases/1.7.1

Buildout

Alternatively, if you are using zc.buildout and the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to manage your project, you can do this:

• Add quintagroup.seoptimizer to the list of eggs to install, e.g.:

  For Plone 4 - in your buildout.cfg file write:

  [buildout]
  ....
  eggs =
       ...
       quintagroup.seoptimizer >=4.0

  For Plone 3 - in your buildout.cfg file write:

  [buildout]
  ....
  eggs =
       ...
       quintagroup.seoptimizer >3.0,<4.0

• Tell the plone.recipe.zope2instance recipe to install a ZCML slug:

  [instance]
  ...
  zcml =
      quintagroup.seoptimizer

• Re-run buildout, e.g. with:

  $ ./bin/buildout

• Restart the Zope server, e.g with the following command in the terminal:

  $ ./bin/instance restart

Traditional Zope 2 Instance

To install quintagroup.seoptimizer into the global Python environment (or a workingenv), using a traditional Zope 2 instance, you can do this:

• Copy quintagroup folder to your instance’s /lib/python directory.

• Create a file called quintagroup.seoptimizer-configure.zcml in your instance’s /etc/package-includes directory. The file should only contain this:

  <include package="quintagroup.seoptimizer" file="configure.zcml" />

• Restart the Zope server, for example with the following command in the terminal:

  $ ./bin/zopectl restart

Install quintagroup.seoptimizer via ZMI portal_setup -> Import tab. Select quintagroup.seoptimizer from the list of available profiles and press Import all steps.
