Structured data (Schema.org)
Structured data is a standardized format for providing information about a page and classifying the page content. Google and other uses structured data that it finds on the web to understand the content of the page.
When creating or editing an article in the EasyDNNnews, you can specify structured data in JSON-LD. This data will be added to the page when viewing the article.
Example:
{
"@context": "http://schema.org",
"@type": "NewsArticle",
"mainEntityOfPage": {
"@type": "WebPage",
"@id": "https://google.com/article"
},
"headline": "Article headline",
"image": [
"https://example.com/photos/1x1/photo.jpg",
https://example.com/photos/4x3/photo.jpg
],
"datePublished": "2015-02-05T08:00:00+08:00",
"dateModified": "2015-02-05T09:20:00+08:00",
"author": {
"@type": "Person",
"name": "John Doe"
},
"publisher": {
"@type": "Organization",
"name": "Google",
"logo": {
"@type": "ImageObject",
"url": "https://google.com/logo.jpg"
}
},
"description": "A most wonderful article"
}
First, go to the EasyDNNnews module settings and open section 21 Open Graph, Twitter Cards, Structured data.
Check the option Enable Structured Data. This will enable creating structured data when viewing articles. You can also set the default template. This temple will be used as default when adding articles or if you did not add any structured data to your article.
To add a structured data to the article, create new or open existing article. Open the SEO Settings panel and the open Structured data tab. EasyDNNnews provides basic templates for: article, event, book, course, product, video and recipe.
Fill in the structured data. The data you need to fill in yourself contains word Placeholder. For the rest of the data, you can use the EasyDNNnews tokens.
Predefined templates are located in website folder: \DesktopModules\EasyDNNnews\SEO-Templates\_default\StructuredData\. You can edit them or create your own. For more help on structured data, you can visit: https://developers.google.com/search/docs/guides/intro-structured-data.
You can also create your own structured data. You can use Google’s tool to help you create structured data: https://www.google.com/webmasters/markup-helper/u/0/.
