Add to Volto site
To add kitconcept.seo to your Volto page you need to edit the component you want to use it for.
If you want use it for your whole page you can use it in the View.jsx
(see here for further information on editing views in Volto).
First you have to define the PropTypes for the seo elements by adding:
seo_title: PropTypes.string, seo_description: PropTypes.string,
... to the PropTypes of the component.
Than you use React-Helmet to set the title and description of the component. So import React-Helmet with:
import Helmet from 'react-helmet';
And finally add this to the jsx code of your component:
<Helmet title={ this.props.content.seo_title ? this.props.content.seo_title : this.props.content.title } meta={ this.props.content.seo_description ? [ { name: 'description', content: this.props.content.seo_description, }, ] : [ { name: 'description', content: this.props.content.description, }, ] } bodyAttributes={{ class: `view-${viewName.toLowerCase()}`, }} />
Usage
In your Volto page you need to go to the edit mode of the page you want to add a title and description for SEO and open the properties of the page by clicking the properties under the save button. Choose SEO there and add a title and description in the fields. When you are done hit the save button.
