RSJoomla! Blog - RSSeo!

Joomla! 2.5 is here and we are happy to announce that all our extensions are already compatible with the new Joomla! version. Being built on the Joomla! MVC architecture, it was really easy for us to make them Joomla! 2.5 compatible

RSSeo! revision 12 brings two highly requested features: canonical support to solve the duplicate Joomla! content issues and the ability to generate the robots meta tag for each crawled page.

 

1. Canonical support

Joomla! has duplicate content issues: a single page can be accessed by users and search engine robots through multiple URLs.
Google has solved this issue by releasing the rel=”canonical” attribute, which allows webmasters to specify the preferred version of a certain page and place it in the head section of the non-canonical pages.

In a couple of days, Joomla! 1.6 will reach end of life and will no longer be supported.

All Joomla! 1.6 users are being advised to upgrade to the latest Joomla version, 1.7, before 19 August 2011.

If you have migrated your websites to 1.7, then you’ll be happy to find out that ALL RSJOOMLA! extensions (except RSTickets! - not to be confused with RSTickets!Pro and RSForm! - not to be confused with RSForm!Pro) are compatible with Joomla! 1.7.

We’ve performed multiple tests and code optimization to assure that all our extensions are stable and ready to be used on Joomla! 1.7 websites.

The new RSSeo! revision comes with two important integrations: Google Analytics tracking and reports.

1. Google Analytics tracking

If you're enabling the tracking feature, RSSeo! will automatically include the Google Analytics tracking code into your site source.
Just add the login details, along with the web property ID and RSSeo! will do the rest.

The new RSSeo! revision comes with 2 highly requested features : ability to create HTML sitemaps and the keyword density tool.

1. Joomla! 1.6 compatibility

We’ve updated the RSSeo! source code to be compatible with the latest release of Joomla! 1.6.

2. HTML sitemaps

Starting with this new revision, RSSeo! has a built-in HTML sitemap option.
Just select the menu items that you wish to include or exclude from the sitemap and hit the "Generate" button.

To publish the HTML sitemap in frontend, head to the "Menu Manager" and create a RSSeo! menu link or directly type in the browser window the site address followed by "index.php?option=com_rsseo"
