Hello everyone ! :)

I have a question about "News".
Where can I add a meta description and meta keyword when I write a new ? I didn't see it ...
I can make this with articles but not news.

Another question, can I remove .html extension in the url ? a url without extension.

Thank you for your answer. ;)

Hi Gabriel,

Those are two separate questions :|

About the first, well there are no meta description and meta keywords for news indeed. It wouldn't make a lot of sense for meta description anyway, on news listings but also on news content I think it makes more sense to have a single description (a quick summary of what your news archive is about). About meta keywords, this has almost no impact of SEO now, I think a much more valuable item would be to be able to use the taxonomy module with the news modules and be able to tag news.

Now about url extension, the answer is pretty simple : check the "url suffix" setting in Settings ;)
It's clearly explained in the help text :

iconQuote:
The URL suffix is a file extension that is added to the URI string to simulate static documents. The default URL suffix is .html. Note that using no URL suffix at all can have a negative effect on your search engine ranking.

Of course don't forget to have the .htaccess at the root of your site :)
Hope it helps
