collective.behavior.seo

This small behavior adds extra fields used for SEO optimisation. Inspired by collective.seo, but the data store now uses dexterity/behavior practice.

Features

Adds fields SEO Title, SEO Description, and Metatag Robots on an extra tab SEO on contenttypes where the behavior is activated.

When the fields contain values, the <title> and <meta name='description'> in the <head> section will be replaced. Also a <meta name="robots"> tag will be added.

In a control panel you can give a list of valid combinations of robot tags: follow/nofollow, index/noindex.

Changelog

3.0.0 (2026-03-10)

Breaking changes

Make package Plone 6.2 ready. Use native namespaces. Still works on Plone 6.0 and 6.1, but due to the native namespaces it could conflict with other collective packages. [1letter]

2.0.2 (unreleased)

Nothing changed yet.

2.0.1 (2024-01-25)

Update Translations for 'nl' and add translations for 'de' [1letter]

2.0.0 (2023-03-14)

Fix ValueError during editing when robot tags in control panel are not unique. Fixes issue 2 <https://github.com/collective/collective.behavior.seo/issues/2>_. [maurits]
Add Continuous Integration for supported Plone and Python combinations. Uses tox, gh-actions, and collective/tox-action <https://github.com/collective/tox-action>_. [maurits]
Drop support for Python 2. Plone 5.2 and 6.0 on Python 3 are supported. For older versions, use releases from the 1.x branch. [maurits]

1.0.2 (2023-03-14)

Removed English locale. I think there used to be a need for this long time ago, but not anymore, as far as I know. [maurits]
Changed <head> to 'head' in help text and translations. <head> gets swallowed: you got "the section of a page" and now "the 'head' section of a page". [maurits]
Fixed broken html in edit form on Plone 6 due to Dutch typo. We used <head and this made the Save/Cancel buttons show only on the SEO fieldset. And this fieldset showed an extra footer. [maurits]
