This app provides two ways of adding SEO metadata to your django site:
- Absolute paths
- Model instances
It's fully integrated with the admin site including inline forms for models. It also includes support for multiple languages and localized URLs.
Django >= 1.7.0
The Git repository can be cloned with this command:
git clone https://github.com/Glamping-Hub/django-simple-seo.git
The simpleseo package included in the distribution should be placed on the PYTHONPATH. Add simpleseo to the INSTALLED_APPS in your settings.py. Run migrate command to create the needed tables.
## Registering Models
To create synced SEO metadata for model instances you have to define the SEO_MODELS variable in your settings.py like this:
SEO_MODELS = [
('myapp', 'mymodel'),
('myapp', 'mymodel'),
]
After registering the models, you can add the inline form to the admin instance for each model:
from simpleseo.admin import SeoMetadataInline
class MyModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
inlines = [SeoMetadataInline, ]
Now every time you save a model instance through the admin site the SEO metadata will be updated automatically.
As simple as loading the seo template library and using the get_seo_* (title, description, keywords, text) template tags like this:
{% load seo %}
<head>
<title>{% get_seo_title 'Default title' %}</title>
<meta name="description" content="{% get_seo_description 'Default description' %}">
</head>
title, description and keywords will be displayed with escape filter, text with mark_safe.
SimpleSEO also uses 4 configuration variables for defining the default information that will be displayed if the URL has no SEO metadata related (priority: settings < templates < models). You have to add them to your settings.py:
SEO_DEFAULT_TITLE = 'default'
SEO_DEFAULT_DESCRIPTION = 'default'
SEO_DEFAULT_KEYWORDS = 'default'
SEO_DEFAULT_TEXT = 'default'
