README

Requirements

The extension works with TYPO3 10 LTS and TYPO3 v11.

Important: Currently, the extension is in development and considered experimental!

Introduction

This extension builds upon the schema extension (which offers an API and view helpers) and gives the possibility to add schema.org vocabulary with records. The records can be placed on every page and enriches the web page with the needed markup - dependent on the user rights also for editors.

The extension has an experimental status, for now it is a proof of concept. Code changes must not be backward compatible. However, the extension works and could be used at own risk!

You are welcome to give feedback and participate!

Usage

Select the List module on the page you want to insert structured data
Create a new record and select Schema Records > Type
Select the desired schema type, then the form reloads
Enter an optional ID and add one or more properties
Save the record
Load the frontend page and have a look at the source code

The shown types and properties in the record can be reduced, have a look at the configuration section below.

Installation

Installation With Composer

The recommended way to install this extension is by using Composer. In your Composer based TYPO3 project root, just type

Configuration

Reduce list of available types

There are two possibilities to reduce the list of available types and properties in the type record (currently over 500) with PageTS.

With TCEFORM

Use the TCEFORM configuration:

TCEFORM.tx_schemarecords_domain_model_type.schema_type.keepItems = Person,Place,Corporation

TCEFORM.tx_schemarecords_domain_model_type.schema_type.removeItems := addToList(Airport,Casino)

Use Presets

The extension ships some presets (book, course, event, product) which can be used and adjusted. They are taken from Google's search gallery. You can also add additional presets. By default, no presets are activated, so all types and properties are shown.

A preset may look like:

tx_schemarecords {
  presets {
    terms {
      event {
        types {
          Event = description,endDate,image,location,name,offers,performer,startDate
          Offer = availability,price,priceCurrency,validFrom,url
          PerformingGroup = name
          Person = name
          Place = address,name
          PostalAddress = addressCountry,addressLocality,addressRegion,postalCode,streetAddress
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

A preset is defined in the tx_schemarecords.presets.terms PageTS. In the example event (all lowercase) is a key to reference later on - you can name it to your needs. Then define the types with the according properties that are needed. In the example Event is the type and maps to the schema.org type http://schema.org/Event. The properties description,endDate,image,location,name,offers,performer,startDate are shown in the record. As a property may connect to another type (like performer to Person or Performing Group) these are also defined in this special preset.

You can activate presets (e.g. book and event) like this:

tx_schemarecords {
  presets {
    activeTerms = book,event
  }
}

Have a look into the folder Configuration/TSconfig/Page/Presets/ for more information. By now, the presets

are shipped with the extension.

Define your own presets, e.g., like this:

tx_schemarecords {
  presets {
    activeTerms = tx_myext_event,product
    terms {
      tx_myext_event {
          Event = description,endDate,image,location,name,offers,organizer,performer,sponsor,startDate
          Offer = availability,price,priceCurrency,validFrom,url
          PerformingGroup = *
          Person = *
          Place = address,latitude,longitude,name
          PostalAddress = addressCountry,addressLocality,addressRegion,postalCode,streetAddress
      }
    }
  }
}

As you can see, it is also possible to add all properties to a type with the wildcard character *.

If different presets define the same types with different properties, the union of the properties are shown for this specific type.

Add helpful links to a schema type

It can be useful to add one or more helpful links to a schema type when editing a record. The editor can look up the details of a type easily. By default, the link to the schema.org definition is available. Also the links to the Google seach reference for rich snippets is included.

You can define additional links to other resources, e.g. to your own documentation of the web site with Page TSconfig, e.g.:

tx_schemarecords {
  info {
    types {
      Article {
        100 {
          description = The description for the link
          link = https://example.org/my-article/
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Every type under tx_schemarecords.info.types - in this example Article - can have one or more links defined. Please start with the index 100 or above because lower numbers are reserved by the extension. With the key description define the description for the link and with the key link the link itself.

Have a look in the folder Configuration/TSconfig/Page/Info of this extension to see the shipped links.
