ZOO Structured Data

Google Structured Data integrates perfectly with ZOO - Yootheme! All you have to do is to make sure that the integration is enabled and then you'll be able to assign a Content Type to a ZOO - Yootheme Content Item easily. Let's see how to check if the integration is enabled. Bear in mind that by default it should be enabled.

Enable Integration

As with all of the integrations, go to Components → Google Structured Data → Configuration and open the Integrations tab, where all integrations are listed.

Find the Zoo Integration in the list and make sure that it is enabled with the green checkmark indicator as shown in the screenshot below.

Add Article Structured Data to Zoo Items

The Zoo Items can be used with the Article, Product, Recipe, Critic Review and even Local Business Content Types. Go to Components → Google Structured Data → Items and click New to create a new structured data item.

Enter a Title, then select the content type you need and the Zoo integration. Integration View is filled in automatically with Page Detail.

Once you pick a content type and an integration, the form reloads and 2 new sections appear:

• Article: This section helps you map the content type properties with page fields, custom fields, site info or custom values.
• Publishing Rules: This is where you can select the pages where the structured data is going to be generated to.

To learn more details on how you can use these sections visit the How to Add Structured Data to Pages documentation page.

Publishing Rules

In case, you don't want to generate the Article Content Type to all items, you can use the available publishing rules to target specific items. Each rule is Disabled by default. Set it to Include or Exclude and pick the items. The Zoo Integration implements the following publishing rules:

Frequently Asked Questions

How to display Ratings?

To display ratings, you will need to enable the Rating option first within your Zoo component. To do so you can follow their guide here: How to enable Zoo rating.

How to create custom fields in Zoo?

The Zoo Integration supports all custom fields provided by the Zoo component. You can essentially create custom fields (Zoo calls them elements), set values to them in your Zoo Items and use those custom fields in your Google Structured Data Item to fetch the values and assign them to the Content Type properties. You can follow their guide on how to create custom fields here: How to Add New Elements to the Types.

Notes

• The Structured Data is generated only in the Item View of the Zoo component where a single Item is displayed. The Category or List views are not currently supported.
• The above example shows the Article Content Type, but you can use all mentioned in the Add Article Structured Data to Zoo Items section.
