Something that is free has little or no perceived value. Users do not commit to free products and only use them until something else looks nice and is free comes along. When I invest my time in the development of a new plugin I commit to supporting and maintaining it. I ask my customers to do the same. I do not make money from this plugin by advertisements, upgrades or additional services like hosting or setup.
Did you know that 30% of your purchase or donation goes to help fund the October Project?
My plugins take many hours to develop (40-120+) and even more hours to document and maintain. My paid plugins have to pay for both this time, and the time I am spending on free plugins and less successful paid plugins. This means that it will take even a successful plugin years to become profitable. Please consider buying an extended license if you want me to continue to maintain these plugins for the very small fee I ask in return or hire me for adding functionality that you feel is missing but valuable.

After installation all CMS pages, Static pages, Posts, Categories will now display additional tabs with SEO and Open Graph fields.
To display meta information on frontend page you must only place single SEO component in theme layout head section.
[seoTags]
==
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
{% component 'seoTags' %}
</head>
Plugin adds two mixins with Meta and Open Graph fields to Tailor. You just need to add them to your blueprint Entry
in fields section like so:
_seo_meta_fields:
type: mixin
source: Renatio\SeoManager\MetaFields
_seo_og_fields:
type: mixin
source: Renatio\SeoManager\OgFields
After that remember to save and migrate blueprint or run php artisan october:migrate command.
Plugin ships with a settings page. Go to Settings and you will see a menu item SEO configuration listed under SEO bookmark.
Settings allow you to specify SEO Title prefix/suffix.
You can write common meta tags used in all pages e.g.
<meta name="author" content="Renatio">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
You can enable/disable Open Graph tags output, specify Open Graph site name and Facebook Application ID.
You can edit robots.txt file and .htaccess file.
Editing .htaccess file may break your site if not set up properly, so proceed with caution. This can be restricted by setting user permission.
Available SEO fields:
Defines the title of a document. Title tags are often used on search engine results pages (SERPs) to display preview snippets for a given page, and are important both for SEO and social sharing. Read more.
Meta descriptions are HTML attributes that provide concise explanations of the contents of web pages. Meta descriptions are commonly used on search engine result pages (SERPs) to display preview snippets for a given page. Read more.
A series of keywords you deem relevant to the page in question.
The robots meta tag is not the same as the file called robots.txt. You should use these two together. Both are used by the search engines like Yahoo and Google. Read more.
Canonicalization for SEOs refers to normalizing (redirecting to a single dominant version) multiple URLs. Read more.
Redirection is the process of forwarding one URL to a different URL. There are three main kinds of redirects: 301, 302, and meta refresh. Read more.
More fields can be added on request.
Available Open Graph fields:
The title of your object as it should appear within the graph, e.g., "The Rock".
A one to two sentence description of your object.
The type of your object, e.g., "article".
An image URL which should represent your object within the graph.

More fields can be added on request.
SEO fields can be attached to any October CMS model with single line of code. You just need to implement SEO Behavior in your model class like so:
public $implement = ['@Renatio.SeoManager.Behaviors.SeoModel'];
After implementing this behavior to your model class, SEO Manager will extend it with SEO fields.
The next step is to add SEO columns to models table. This can be done by running following command. This command will scan all models that are implementing SeoModel behavior and add SEO columns to the database tables.
php artisan seo:migrate-tables
To allow SEO Manager Plugin to recognize page with specific model attached you must pass it to the page view. This is
most often done in component onRun() method like so:
$this->page['album'] = Album::find($id); // pass album record to page view
Plugin will fire seo.extendSeoFields event to allow for extensibility. This can be used to modify or add more SEO
fields. You can listen for this event like so:
Event::listen('seo.extendSeoFields', function ($fields) {
// modify or add more fields
return $fields; // remember to return modified fields array
});
Similar approach can be used to extend Open Graph fields with seo.extendOgFields event.
Model fields are saved to database, so you must add columns to renatio_seomanager_seo_tags table before you can use
them.
Plugin will fire seo.beforeComponentRender event to allow for extensibility. This can be used to access page with
associated SEO Tag. The assigned model should implement SeoModel behavior.
/*
* Assign new seoTag for product page
*/
Event::listen('seo.beforeComponentRender', function ($component, $page) {
if ($page->url == '/products/:slug') {
$component->seoTag = $page->controller->vars['product'];
}
});
Plugin will create three new artisan commands for working with console.
php artisan seo:migrate-tables command will migrate tables for all models implementing SEO behavior to add SEO
columns. There is additional option --table= that can be used to specify the database table where you want to add SEO
columns.
php artisan seo:patch 3.0 command will migrate data from renatio_seomanager_seo_tags to models that implement
SeoModel behavior.
php artisan seo:import-cms command will import SEO from CMS pages.
php artisan seo:import-static command will import SEO from RainLab Static pages.
php artisan seo:import-blog command will import SEO from RainLab Blog posts and categories.
