collective.microdata.event 0.2

Add microdata (scheda.org) support to Plone events

Introduction

Install this package and get an alternative version of event view in your Plone site. Changes are minimal, just to add basic HTML 5 microdata information, taken from schema.org specification.

Microdata available in Web pages can be used from search engines, enhancing the quality of information indexed.

This package is a proper implementation of the collective.microdata.core product. Read it’s documentation for more information.

Details

Follow a list supported properties:

name

Taken from event title

description

Taken from the event description

url

Taken from the event URL field

attendees

Taken from Attendees field (raw data, not as Person elements)

location

Taken from event location

startDate

Taken from the start date

endDate

Taken from the end date

duration

Taken from the difference from end and start date

Support for folder content listing views

This package supports also collective.microdata.contentlisting but not depends on it (you have to manually install that add-on yourself).

Then you will be able to provide microdata information about events also when listing folders content.

See it’s documentation for knowing what views are supported.

Final notes

Providing microdata doesn’t ensure that search engines will use it.
