Basic Settings
| Option | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Page Title | Whether to use the album's SEO title as the page title (shown in the browser title bar and search results) | Yes |
| Friendly Url | Whether to enable friendly URLs — albums are accessed by readable alias (e.g. /album-title-21); works with the Friendly Urls field in the album editor | Yes |
| Url Parameter Name | The name of the album ID parameter segment in friendly URLs, 1–10 letters or digits; e.g. with ID, URLs look like /ID/51/album-title | — |
| Paging Metas | Whether paged pages output their own meta information | — |
| Canonical Domain | The canonical domain: enter your site's preferred domain (e.g. http://www.yoursite.com) to avoid duplicate indexing when the same page is reachable via several domains; empty means the current site domain | — |
New in 8.x
Version 8.x also provides Enable AlbumID To URL on this page, which keeps the AlbumID parameter in friendly URLs — useful when albums need to be located by ID.
Per-album SEO
Besides the module-level settings, each album has its own SEO Settings section in the editor:
- Friendly Urls — the friendly URL alias of this album.
- SEO Title — the page title of this album.
- SEO Keywords — the keywords of this album.
- SEO Description — the description of this album.
Combined with submitting your Sitemap, search engines can crawl album and category pages more efficiently.
