XF 1.4 SearchAction markup for Google?

[dethfire]

I got an email from Google saying "Make your site ready for the new sitelinks search box".

They say I need to:
Add the necessary markup to your site's homepage
We recommend using schema.org/SearchAction markup with JSON-LD, but you can also use microdata.

Does Xenforo support this?

 

[Sunka]

Nop, it is not. But if it is not from script for google search bar, it is OK

For now, if any want's to implement it.
Add this code on PAGE_CONTAINER template below footer area.

<xen:if is="{$contentTemplate} == 'forum_list'">
<script type="application/ld+json">
{
  "@context": "http://schema.org",
  "@type": "WebSite",
  "url": "https://www.phcorner.net/",
  "potentialAction": {
    "@type": "SearchAction",
    "target": "https://www.phcorner.net/search/search?keywords={search_keywords}",
    "query-input": "required name=search_keywords"
  }
}
</script>
</xen:if>

Just replace with your own domain.
I implement it already almost a week now.

do we still have to do this with 1.4.2 or it's already in core?

thank

I never made any xf changes for it, and about a week after google sending that email the search box showed up for us. We're using elastic search if that matters.

No need for that code, as this is already built-in with XenForo.

Yeah Google automatically pulled this from our site running Enhanced Search. You can see by searching "Oakley Forum". No modification needed.

Hard to say, we had been using ES for a while when they released search markup, so I'd say it took 5-10 weeks before it appeared in search. The only people who can control it are Google.

This is unrelated to ES. It's part of XF.

However, it is really down to Google's choice if it wants to show it.
