4.0.0 (Umbraco 15)

[patrickdemooij9]

It is finally time! The first official version of SeoToolkit is now available for Umbraco 15. This journey took a lot longer than I initially expected due to the amount of changes made by Umbraco, but it is now finally done. For the most part, everything is the same as in the previous version but there are some changes that I would like to highlight below. If you are choosing to upgrade to this version from your older installations, make sure to always have a backup ready in case something goes wrong in the conversions.

NotFound module

You'll now notice a new tree item in the SeoToolkit section. Here you'll be able to set your 404 page for whenever a page cannot be found. This will ensure that a proper 404 page is shown to the user and that the correct 404 status code is returned in the response.

This change might break your current implementation if you have one. As always, this module is also able to be disabled if you don't want to use it. Adding the following will disable the LastChanceContentFinder, though you can also use "all" to disable the whole module.

EnableSeoSettingsByDefaultForTemplated

This new variable is a replacement of EnableSeoSettingsByDefault. This newer variable will automatically enable seo settings for document types that have a template attached to it. The previous variable had the downside of also enabling it for element types and data related document types. So if you were using this property before, make sure to check your document types as they could have been disabled. This feature is also now on by default, but you can turn it off in the appsettings.json

Trailing slashes in redirects

Before this change, the code would always add a trailing slash to the destination of a redirect (handwritten only). This has now been changed so that it will look at the trailing slash setting in Umbraco. If you have this turned off in Umbraco, it also won't add a trailing slash to your redirects. This does not update your existing redirects.

Survey

There is now a survey available so I can get a good feel on what features you would like to see in the future and the future of the package overall. If you haven't yet, make sure to take a look at it. It only takes a few minutes. https://form.jotform.com/250704498268062.
