Hi @User , there's a package that can help you quickly add SEO fields to your admin forms and settings: https://github.com/cwsdigital/twill-metadata

Yea, unfortunately it'a no longer downloadable with composer

pboivin

09/16/2021, 3:00 PM

Oh? I did not know that, thanks!

Just did a quick test and it is installable via

composer require cwsdigital/twill-metadata

Sami

09/16/2021, 3:01 PM

huh

Sami

I would put my hand in fire that composer told me the package doesn't exist

Sami

09/16/2021, 3:03 PM

I couldn't find it on packagist also

Don't put your hand in fire, I believe you. 🙂 There are composer flukes sometimes...

@User SEO fields are like any other fields in Twill, it is up to you to use them in your frontend according to your requirements. https://github.com/area17/laravel-auto-head-tags can be helpful for the frontend part.

I don't know if it supports

keywords

but maybe it is just not named keywords or I was clinically blind when doing SEO on last project

so, i am trying to add a "Downloads" section -- specifically, using the

files

formField, ideally in a repeater, and i would like to associate a title and description with each file. does anyone have an example of a similar workflow? would i need to create a

Downloads

module that uses

hasFiles

and use a repeater to configure them that way?

pboivin

Hey @User , from what I understand, you could create 2 modules:

Downloads

and

DownloadItem

. Your

downloads/form.blade.php

would have the repeater field and your

DownloadItem

would have the

HasFiles

behavior.

dpadular

i should probably mention that I am associating the

Downloads

with an existing

Products

module -- would you recommend the same thing, @User ?

pboivin

09/16/2021, 4:23 PM

How are the Downloads associated with Products, through a browser field?

dpadular

09/16/2021, 4:38 PM

right now i'm just using a

files

field, but that doesn't let me associate a title or description to each file

Copy code

@formFieldset(['id' => 'downloads', 'title' => 'Downloads'])
    @formField('files', [
        'name' => 'Download',
        'label' => 'Add a Download',
        'note' => 'Add a downloadable file to this Product.',
        'max' => 20
    ])
@endformFieldset

I see! That's good, so you can skip the

downloads

module actually. You can add your

download-item

repeater directly on your

products/form.blade.php

dpadular

09/16/2021, 5:04 PM

ok, so i would need the

DownloadItem

module with

HasFiles

, and then add that

download-item

repeater? awesome

thank you @User !

It was updated last night - someone raised an issue, and I realised that I'd never published the package to packagist, we'd always been using it directly from the git repo. So composer require cwsdigital/twill-metadata will now work 👍

how can I use repeater inside other repeater ?

pboivin

09/16/2021, 9:44 PM

Hey @User , this is possible within the block editor (so a block, that contains a repeater, that contains another repeater) but currently not in a standalone repeater. There's a workaround somewhere on GitHub Discussions but it's not very robust.

Luís Novais

09/16/2021, 9:45 PM

humm ok thanks for you help

Luís Novais

That is working now, but the images are not saved, need special config for image inside editor inside repeater ?

pboivin

09/16/2021, 10:07 PM

Yes, for

medias

fields you need to set your crop config in

config/twill.php

pboivin

09/16/2021, 10:07 PM

medias

fields inside blocks

pboivin

09/16/2021, 10:08 PM

Something like this:

Copy code

'block_editor' => [
        'crops' => [
            'cover' => [
                'default' => [
                    ['name' => 'free', 'ratio' => 0],
                ],
            ],
        ],
    ],

pboivin

09/16/2021, 10:09 PM

Copy code

@formField('medias', ['name' => 'cover', 'label' => 'Cover'])
