Ideas for Arc XP

Section concept in site service should be richer by having more fields to populate and display

What's happening

Currently in Site Service the only functional fields available to populate are Metadata title and Metadata description for sections

What should be happening

More fields should be available to add in the site service and show in FE as well such as description to also render in FE (for SEO purposes) - similar to what is available for Tags

    Hi,

    Has there been any movement on this?

    We would also be very keen to extend the metadata fields in site service to include the items mentioned below AND include the ability to set a bespoke OG image against the section page as required. Currently there is no way to do this in Themes.

    All fields delivered by the siteservice API for a section could be relevant.

    The title and description are the most important ones though:

    I would suggest keeping separate fields for meta_title and title , but with a fallback so that meta_title would fallback to title if the first is not explicitly specified.

    Same behavior for separate fields for meta_description and description: Fallback to description if meta_descrption is not specified.

    The meta tags should also be used as og; tags provided to facebook/google, with the same fallback mechanism.


    It would also be good to be able to change the logo (in the navbar?) for specific sections
    "site_topper- "site_logo_image":

    The site tagline (above/below title) and site_keywords ( as tags?) would also be good to have optionally displayed

    The parent section of a section should also be available and displayable as a breadcrumb or similar on a section page.

    Can you offer some specifics about what other fields you would want to populate and how you'd want them to behave on the section page?

    For the description, we can consider adding that to the front end display (since currently it only outputs in the page metadata. Would you want the same text to populate both the description meta tag and the front-end display, or separate text?
