Meta headers
onCourse does not implement meta-keyword headers since it is well documented that no search engines use them for indexing. However we do implement:
- og:image for course and class detail pages. The image is pulled from the first attachment of the appropriate type (jpg/png) linked to the course.
- og:type is hardcoded to "website" to satisfy Facebook.
- og:description and meta-description. The contents of this field is automatically populated from the beginning of the text in the course description or page content. Special formatting is stripped out (eg. headers and images). For this reason, it is useful for you to ensure the first paragraph of text is relevant and well written.
- Page title (and og:title) is constructed using the name of your college and other details such as the name of the course or tag, or the name of the page.
These tags are useful for both Facebook, Bing and Google, helping you display better search results from data discovered by each of their crawl engines.
Should you wish to customise the behaviour of how onCourse inserts meta headers you can do this in PageHead.tml. You can customise the page title in Title.tml
