I was recently adding some Markups to a Wix website and got a weird recommendation. The site told me that I shouldn't add the same #type (the type field of my JSON-LD format) in two Markups that are located in the same page—picture of this.
I would like to use the same #type because inside of that page you have all our business locations and they all do the same type of business—page I'm refering to. After getting this recommendation I looked all over the place for some explanation as to why this is wrong and found nothing; I'm just woried that this may affect my site's performace.
PS: I tried to add a markup for each location's page, but Wix does not allow schemas on dynamic pages.
You can use Google's guidelines for Multiple departments to mark up your departments. You can also use the array element to create a list for your offices in JSON-LD format:
"#list": [
{"#value": "joe"},
{"#value": "bob"},
{"#value": "jaybee"}
]

we are working on SEO for one of the content related (article, videos) website and using wordpress template to build the website. Now if I use yoast generated schema the standard webpage schema is being used to all the pages which I really don't want and won’t be useful. I need to insert the schema according to the page category that can be manually coded (json-ld) or using any plugin that supports category wise schema uploading.
Please help me how to add schema code manually to wordpress website each page or any plugin that will help me to do the same.
you can use to Custom Fields.
you need add your schema code to article and Video Custom field and choose that on every post.
This is my first time using Ektron and i'm trying to implement Json-LD schema scripts for each page. I have 68 scripts that I need to implement that are unique for each page.
I thought I would be able to implement these scripts through meta data, but now i'm unsure. Each script is over 1000 characters, the html and meta tag types only allow 500 characters, so i'm assuming i'm in the wrong place. If anyone could shed some light it would be much appreciated.
Ektron's metadata isn't intended for large chunks of data / content. So, yes, you will find limits there.
Here are two things you might try as workarounds.
Most direct:
Use the Ektron Library. Go to the Library tab and click on the Root node and view Properties. Add an extension to allow you to upload your JSON-LD as a file. Use metadata on the content item to reference the uploaded file. Combine the two upon output.
If you want the JSON-LD to be editable within the CMS...
Gaming the platform a bit
Create a new SmartForm definition and include in it a single plain-text, multi-line field (not Rich text). This should hold your JSON-LD. Set up a folder and, if your version supports it (you didn't specify CMS version, so I will assume relatively recent), set the folder to be non-searchable so these things don't come up in site search results. Add a restriction to the folder to only allow the Smart Form definition you just created. Create your JSON-LD there using the plain-text field. You should be able to store up to 1MB.
Same as above, add your JSON-LD as text then use a reference to this item from the content you want to use it.
The metadata in this case (and possibly the library one, though I'd have to test and I don't have an Ektron environment for development anymore) will give you the Content ID for the object holding your JSON-LD. You'll have to make another API call but will give you the solution you appear to want from above.
I have a handful of WordPress websites that use The Events Calendar for displaying events that are open to the public.
I notice if I type a cities name and then the word event, that our website is not being pulled in to the special section that appear. Google uses its Knowledge Graph. I was looking through the source code and noticed that our sites uses JSON-LD, generated from the information used for the event, one of the methods Google talks about using, but don’t understand why our site information isn’t being shown.
These sites have been up a year and get 3k visits a month so they're being indexed fairly regularly.
I was looking through the event properties JSON-LD, and I noticed the entire event address (street, city, state zip) gets put inside the name property of the Place or Postal array (Heres a screenshot of my sites schema). When I look up other events that are pulled into Google, they list the those attributes in the address properties (Screenshot of other site’s schema).
I think because the address is put into the name property instead of the address property, that Google might not be showing the events. Has anybody else seen this happen with their sites? Or is something else wrong with the sites we set up?
Right now your events are marked up using the Google example, but I believe this is wrong:
https://developers.google.com/structured-data/rich-snippets/events
"location" : {
"#type" : "Place",
"sameAs" : "http://www.hi-dive.com",
"name" : "The Hi-Dive",
"address" : "7 S. Broadway, Denver, CO 80209"
}
2019 edit: The markup and URL above have since changed and match what is expected from the testing tool.
In order for your sites structured data to match that other event you have a screen shot of, you will need to adjust your JSON-LD to the way it's presented on schema.org, which uses PostalAddress and narrows down a little bit more:
https://schema.org/location (and https://schema.org/PostalAddress) - Click the JSON-LD example tabs
"location": {
"#type": "Place",
"name": "Withworth Institute",
"address": {
"#type": "PostalAddress",
"addressLocality": "Seattle",
"addressRegion": "WA",
"postalCode": "98052",
"streetAddress": "20341 Whitworth Institute 405 N. Whitworth"
},
"url": "wells-fargo-center.html"
}
I can't say for certain if this is the primary reason for your issue but I do think you should follow the schema.org approach either way. Even the Structured Data Tool per your screenshots seems to indicate that it's looking for postalAddress even though Google doesn't use that in the example.. perhaps that article is outdated.
I can confirm that a migration to JSON-LD from inline RDFa style schema, which validates 100% using their new rich snippet validator tool no longer shows Review stars in search results. They've also taken away the ability to see stars validate using old style RDFa schema validation.
This could be an issue with the search team not talking to the developers responsible for the structured data and schema tools, rolling out disjointed feature upgrades. Their recommended use of JSON-LD will likely have a negative impact on display in search in the near term if you'd like to see additional meta data populate in search results pages.
If meta data in search results is a firm requirement you could roll off your JSON-LD module and use a module with the older RDFa or microdata implementation inline in your HTML. Hopefully this will be remedied soon.
I'm trying to wrap my head around designing a simple Wiki style app. In a traditional wiki, say wikipedia, are 'links' referenced in any kind of backend/complex way? Ie HABTM... or are links simply links?
I'm trying to decide myself what to do, a bit different but similar. I have pages written by individuals which they can attribute to themselves or credit a.. say a famous author. Should I save this attribution as merely a tag? The tag would create a reference to the famous person, which may or may not exist, but could also be created, but nothing more than a link. OR, do I dive deep and create a real data relationship (HABTM) ?
Thoughts?
A SQL-style Has And Belongs To Many mapping table is never necessary in Mongo.
If you'd like to provide, for example, a "what links here" view for a page, then I would do something like this for each page in your Wiki. I'll give an example of a page about pandas:
{
_id: "Panda",
text: "Page's contents go here",
links: ["Raccoon", "Weasel"]
}
You're using the page's title as its _id. To find titles of pages that link to "Raccoon", you can query like:
db.pages.find({"links": "Raccoon"})
Obviously, you should make an index on "links".
It is a question about django that has found absolutely no answer for me.
Let's suppose I have a site where I display two blocks in the sidebar :
A list of the last users who've logged in
A list of the last published blog articles
Let's say that these blocks are to be displayed on 80% of the website urls and presented using template files.
The data for these blocks is generated by code (obviously), bt not by url views.
Well, how to do such a thing ?
You might want to take a look at custom template tags.
Edit: more specifically, look at inclusion template tags.
