The Django CMS SEO Extension is a simple, flexible, and easy-to-use tool for managing SEO-related meta tags directly from the Django CMS admin interface. This extension provides support for basic meta tags, Open Graph tags, and Twitter Card tags, making it easy to enhance the visibility and social media integration of your website.
Install the package:
You can add the package to your project by running:
pip install djangocms-seo
Add to INSTALLED_APPS:
Add the extension to your Django settings:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
...,
'cms',
'menus',
'treebeard',
'sekizai',
'djangocms_text_ckeditor',
'djangocms_seo',
]
Apply Migrations:
Run the following commands to apply the necessary migrations:
python manage.py migrate
Sometimes this will throw an error like no table "cms.page", if that happens you can just comment 'djangocms_seo' from your INSTALLED_APPS and migrate normally to create the necessary djangocms tables, then uncomment 'djangocms_seo' and run :
python manage.py migrate djangocms_seo
It should work without issues.
Create Meta Tags:
From the Django CMS admin interface or directly from the CMS toolbar, navigate to the Meta Tags, Open Graph Meta, or Twitter Card Meta sections and create the necessary tags.
Integrating in your template:
Use the seo_meta_tags template tag in your base template to generate the meta tags dynamically:
<!DOCTYPE html>
{% load seo_tags %}
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="utf-8" />
...
{% seo_meta_tags %}
Assign Meta Tags to a Page:
Edit a page in the CMS. Under the "Advanced Settings" tab, you will find the fields to add SEO tags. You can select from existing tags or create new ones on the fly.
Extend SEO Functionality:
You can extend the models or admin interface as needed. See the documentation for more details.
