README

Provides an admin interface separate from the Settings panel that lets users manage things like their GTM scripts, schema, reviews, etc.

Installation (with composer)

composer require iliain/silverstripe-google-config

Config

Enable/disable specific tabs in the CMS by adding the following yaml config:

---
Name: myproject-google-config
After: 'google-config'
---
Iliain\GoogleConfig\Models\GoogleConfig:
  enabled_panels:
    GTM: true
    Schema: true
    Places: false # setting to false will hide the tab

Depending on which APIs you're using, you may need to include environment variables for your keys, like so:

GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY="xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

Currently this module uses the following APIs:

• Google Places

Permissions

You'll need to be either an Administrator, or have the CMS_ACCESS_GoogleConfig permission to access and edit the Google Config section in the CMS.

Usage

You can call data from the Google settings on the frontend via $GoogleConfig, like so:

{$GoogleConfig.SchemaCode.RAW}

{$GoogleConfig.HeadScripts.RAW}

<% with $GoogleConfig %>
    <% if $Places %>
        <% loop $Places %>
            ...
        <% end_loop>
    <% end_if %>
<% end_with %>

GTM Scripts

You can render the GTM scripts in your template with the following:

• $HeadScripts.RAW
• $BodyStartScripts.RAW
• $BodyEndScripts.RAW

Schema

You can configure the global schema data in the CMS, and render it in your template with $GoogleConfig.SchemaCode.RAW.

When editing the schema, you have the option to add Objects and/or Properties. Properties are single name/value pairs, while Objects can contain multiple Properties (good for addresses, etc.).

A tab named Output will display the expected output of your configured schema.

Places

Setting up a Place in the CMS, with an example of the Review data

With a selected Place, you can render the badge and feed in your template with $ReviewBadge and $ReviewsList respectively.

TODO

• Fix the issue of the CMS needing to be reloaded for the map to appear when going back and viewing another map
• Add more APIs
• Update CSS to properly render as-is on the frontend (like a widget)
• Page specific schema?
