We suggest that when creating pages at **frontend** to display associated content of the category (or tag) we would need to manage SEO information of such category page. Respectively we add next fields to our SEO category `Active Record` model: - `name` to name category - `title` for content of `` tag - `meta_description` for value of `content` attribute of `` tag - `meta_keywords` for value of `content` attribute of `` tag - `meta_other` to inserting any other `html` meta tags you may need - `slug` serves as a "slug", or tail, in the page address > With all this in module's settings you may choose not to use `meta_other` > or `slug` fields and they will not appear in the web form of creating/editing SEO category --- Installing ----------- [](#installing-) #### Installing through composer: [](#installing-through-composer) The preferred way to install this extension is through [composer](http://getcomposer.org/download/).: Either run ``` composer require --prefer-dist mgrechanik/yii2-seo-categories ``` or add ``` "mgrechanik/yii2-seo-categories" : "~1.0.0" ``` to the require section of your `composer.json` #### Migrations [](#migrations) This extension comes with two migrations: - the first creates SEO categories table with all indexes needed - the second creates unique index for `slug` field You can run both of them: ``` php yii migrate --migrationPath=@vendor/mgrechanik/yii2-seo-categories/src/console/migrations ``` , or when you do not use `slug` field run only the first migration: ``` php yii migrate 1 --migrationPath=@vendor/mgrechanik/yii2-seo-categories/src/console/migrations ``` #### Setting the module up [](#setting-the-module-up--) As was mentioned in the [basic categories module](https://github.com/mgrechanik/yii2-categories-and-tags#goal), this module follows the approach of *universal module*, and since it gives you only **backend** pages when you set it up into your application specify the next `mode` : ``` 'modules' => [ 'seocategory' => [ 'class' => 'mgrechanik\yii2seocategory\Module', 'mode' => 'backend', // Other module settings ], // ... ], ``` Done. When you access `/seocategory` page you will see all your SEO categories in a form of tree. --- Module settings ---------------- [](#module-settings-) [Setting up](#setup) the module into application, along with all properties of the [base categories module](https://github.com/mgrechanik/yii2-categories-and-tags#settings), we can use it's next properties: #### `$useMetaOtherField = false` [](#usemetaotherfield--false) \- Whether to use `other meta tags` field #### `$useSlugField = true` [](#useslugfield--true) \- Whether to use `slug` field. It is supposed to be unique #### `$slugPattern` [](#slugpattern) \- When we use previous field in this property we set up regular expression of expected symbols #### `$showTitleColumnAtIndexPage = true` [](#showtitlecolumnatindexpage--true) \- Whether to display `title` field in the categories list grid #### `$showSlugColumnAtIndexPage = false` [](#showslugcolumnatindexpage--false) \- Whether to display `slug` field in the categories list grid ### Health Score 25 — LowBetter than 37% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity6 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity56 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
