README

This is a clone from SEOTools Artesaos but it can be used only for Laravel 4.2.

Features

• friendly interface
• Ease of set titles and meta tags
• Ease of set metas for twitter and opengraph

Installation

1 - Dependency

The first step is using composer to install the package and automatically update your composer.json file, you can do this by running:

composer require grouphub/seotools

2 - Provider

You need to update your application configuration in order to register the package so it can be loaded by Laravel, just update your config/app.php file adding the following code at the end of your 'providers' section:

config/app.php

// file START ommited
    'providers' => [
        // other providers ommited
        'Grouphub\Seotools\Providers\SEOToolsServiceProvider',
    ],
// file END ommited

3 - Facade

Facades are not supported in Lumen.

In order to use the SEOMeta facade, you need to register it on the config/app.php file, you can do that the following way:

// file START ommited
    'aliases' => [
        // other Facades ommited
        'SEOMeta'   => 'Grouphub\Seotools\Facades\SEOMeta',
        'OpenGraph' => 'Grouphub\Seotools\Facades\OpenGraph',
        'Twitter'   => 'Grouphub\Seotools\Facades\TwitterCard',
        // or
        'SEO' => 'Grouphub\Seotools\Facades\SEOTools',
    ],
// file END ommited

4 Configuration

Publish config

In your terminal type

php artisan vendor:publish

or

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Grouphub\Seotools\Providers\SEOToolsServiceProvider"

Lumen does not support this command, for it you should copy the file src/resources/config/seotools.php to config/seotools.php of your project

In seotools.php configuration file you can determine the properties of the default values and some behaviors.

seotools.php

• meta
• defaults - What values are displayed if not specified any value for the page display. If the value is false, nothing is displayed.
• webmaster - Are the settings of tags values for major webmaster tools. If you are null nothing is displayed.
• opengraph
• defaults - Are the properties that will always be displayed and when no other value is set instead. You can add additional tags that are not included in the original configuration file.
• twitter
• defaults - Are the properties that will always be displayed and when no other value is set instead. You can add additional tags that are not included in the original configuration file.
