[SmartCrawl Pro] Customize Video Schema

Hello,

The Video Schema generated by SmartCrawl is missing the timezone on uploadDate entry. Also, we need to be able to edit the Description entry of the schema when te video doesn’t have one.

A simple filter/hook could help us handtailor this, but I couldn’t find none browsing the codes. The schema PHP Class used by the plugin would be much more useful if it had action filters everywhere.

Hi Bruno Cantuaria ,

I’m bringing this further to our SmartCrawl team’s attention regarding these aspects so that we can check further on whats being missed and implement changes based on that.

Will keep you posted once we get further feedback.

Hi Bruno Cantuaria ,

Our team is already checking regarding these aspects within the plugin side, however, in the meanwhile please do check and see whether the following snippet helps:

<?php

add_action( 'plugins_loaded', function() {
    if ( ! defined( 'SMARTCRAWL_VERSION' ) ) {
        return; // SmartCrawl is not installed/enabled.
    }
    add_filter( 'wds_schema_printer_schema_data', function( $data, $entity ) {
        foreach( $data as &$item ) {
            $post = get_post();
            if ( empty( $item['@type'] ) || 'VideoObject' !== $item['@type'] ) {
                continue;
            }
            if ( empty( $item['uploadDate']) ) {
                $item['uploadDate'] = $post->post_modified;
            }
            if ( empty( $item['description'] ) ) {
                $item['description'] = $entity->get_trimmed_excerpt();
            }
        }
        return $data;
    }, 10 ,2 );
});

The above snippet should help with adding the data and description. Could you please check and see how that goes?

You can implement the above code using mu-plugins. Please check this link on how to implement the above code as a mu-plugins:

Hi Bruno Cantuaria

This issue should be resolved in the latest version of SmartCrawl.

Please update to latest version, disable any mu-plugins or custom code you have installed and let us know if the issue is not resolved.

Thanks and Regards,
