Installation

  • How should the extension be installed?
  • Are there dependencies to resolve?
  • Is it a static template file to be included?

To install the extension, perform the following steps:

  1. Download and install the extension via Extension Manager or Composer
  2. Include the TypoScript from the extension!
  3. Insert a domain record at the root page
  4. Make some configurations via TypoScript.

Migration

If you had already installed an extension for SEO (metaseo or seo_basics) you can migrate properties like the browser title or the canonical URL. Therefor you have to install cs_seo and run the update script.
