#ZEN_SEO is a clean way of managing your meta tags for resources
Hope all of us are at least on Rails3 and moving to upcoming Rails4(unsupported for now)
# Gemfile
gem 'zen_seo'
Then run the install generator, that will create migration(MongoDB is on the routemap) for the SEO model.
rails generate zen_seo:install
Pick up a resource to grant a promotable behavior
#app/models/post.rb
has_seo
This will try to call title, description, keywords on your model to fill in seo fields, optionally you can supply a hash, that redefines the methods to be called
#app/models/post.rb
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :body, :tags, :title
has_seo :description=>:body, :keywords=>:make_keywords
private
def make_keywords
self.tags.gsub(/:/, ', ')
end
end
Note that you can pass excessive options that meta_tags support through :options key like so:
#app/models/post.rb
class Post < ActiveRecord::Base
attr_accessible :body, :tags, :title
has_seo :description=>:body,
:options=>{
:og => {
:title => :title,
:type => 'website',
:image => 'http://now.com/you_rock.jpg'
}
}
end
###Controller
ZEN_SEO heavily based on meta_tags gem, so set it up as normal.
When your layout contains
#application.html.erb
<head>
<%= display_meta_tags default_meta_tags %>
</head>
now in controller you can use meta_tags_for helper
#posts_controller.rb
# GET /posts/1
# GET /posts/1.json
def show
@post = Post.find(params[:id])
meta_tags_for @post
respond_to do |format|
format.html # show.html.erb
format.json { render json: @post }
end
end
###Form
To set meta tags for your resource just put fields_for :seo in your form. Like this:
<h3>Make yout post seo-friendly</h3>
<%= f.fields_for :seo do |seo| %>
<div class="field">
<%= seo.label :title %><br />
<%= seo.text_field :title %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= seo.label :keywords %><br />
<%= seo.text_field :keywords %>
</div>
<div class="field">
<%= seo.label :description %><br />
<%= seo.text_area :description %>
</div>
<% end %>
