Acts as SEO

The Acts the SEO is a plugin created to facilitate the management of Meta Tags.

Installing

Plugin

To install the plugin run on root folder of your application:

script/plugin install git://github.com/dookie/acts_as_seo.git

This process will create a new migration create_seo_estructure.rb on db/migrate.

So execute rake db:migrate to create the table metatags in your data base.

ActiveRecord

Open the model that you want to add the acts_as_seo and add act_as_seo there, with the example:

class Page < ActiveRecord::Base
    acts_as_seo
end

ActionView

To manage your tags add these fields in your forms:

<p>
    <%= f.label :metatag_title %>
    <%= f.metatag_title %>
</p>

<p>
    <%= f.label :metatag_keywords %>
    <%= f.metatag_keywords %>
</p>

<p>
    <%= f.label :metatag_description %>
    <%= f.metatag_description %>
</p>

This will generate the following HTML:

<p>
    <label for="page_metatag_title">Metatag title</label>
    <input id="page_metatag_title" name="page[metatag_title]" size="30" type="text" />
</p>

<p>
    <label for="page_metatag_keywords">Metatag keywords</label>
    <input id="page_metatag_keywords" name="page[metatag_keywords]" size="30" type="text" />
</p>

<p>
    <label for="page_metatag_description">Metatag description</label>
    <textarea cols="40" id="page_metatag_description" name="page[metatag_description]" rows="20"></textarea>
