XF 2.2 Google WMT Enhancement add Discussion Forum to stats with an error?

[fionix]

I already read the posts about this NEW enhancement in the Googel webmaster tools, after I discovered the first time today.

However, Google marked thousands of pages as valid for now, but already marked pages as not valid because of these reasons:

Missing field "datePublished"
Missing field "author"
Missing field "text"

Is this something that get fixed in new updates of Xenforo or something I can fix manually already now? If I look in phrases etc, the first one "datePublished" is actually already there. Don't know why it has pages failing because of this.

Author and Text I don't know what to do with it??

Any clarification or help would be much appreciated.

Implemented Thread 'Markup improvements for Google'

You can stick a URL in http://validator.schema.org to get an idea of what your markup for a given URL looks like. I have a couple of high-level suggestions to take or leave as you see fit:
