Hi,

There is a distinct possibility that im being completely stupid .. but I can't resolve this issue.

I have uploaded the drupal 7 beta version and enabled.

Now I can find where it is to use it? I cant see anything in configuration and in the modules the link to configure just goes to the general site configuration not to the specific configuration for the seo module?

So my question is how do I get to the right place to use this module - ive been clicking about but cant see anything.

Any help gratefully received.

Ta

On your Configuration page, its listed under Search and Metadata as SEO Checklist.

roborat - I have just installed the module for the first time, but do not see 'SEO Checklist' in the Search and Metadata section on the configuration page. I am root/admin, obviously.

Hmm very strange. Can you go to this url and confirm it works?
[Base Url]/admin/config/search/seochecklist

And just to rule it out, can you please double check the module is enabled?
Can you also confirm you are using 7.x-3.0-beta1 and not 7.x-3.0-dev.

Thanks

Just tried that page and I just got the main search section of configuration - so options for Search settings, URL aliases and Clean URLs only.

Yes, SEO Checklist is definitely enabled, version 7.x-3.0-beta1.

If I click the Configure link for it on the modules page, it takes me to /admin/config/system.

Hmm very odd.
Ok lets try rebuilding your menu cache. Can you go to: admin/config/development/performance, hit Clear all caches, then go back to admin/config/search/seochecklist and see if it works.

And yes the config button links to admin/config/system/seochecklist instead of admin/config/search/seochecklist and is already noted as a bug #1222236: Config path error

Hi Sorry .. been offline a couple of days tried all the above and yes clearing all the caches has worked .. It now shows up. Thanks for that .. maybe its the same problem for the other person? Thanks

Worked for me too. Thanks.

Cache-clearing ought to be in core as part of cron and/or post-module installation.

The fact that you both had this problem, perhaps there is an issue here.

If, like you say, at minimum the menu cache is cleared following the module install. Will investigate possible solutions.

This happened to me as well, the module did not show up in any of the menus until the cache was cleared.

Just downloaded and installed a moment ago. Still an issue, but it is not that the menu item is not appearing but that the Module page disaplys the wrong Config link.
I installed the module and then clicked on Configure after installing (from the Modules page). It brought me to admin/config/system

The proper page however is: /admin/config/search/seochecklist

The link was immediately present when I went to the Config page manually (/admin/config).

@jchinquist you are describing the bug here: #1222236: Config path error.

This is a separate issue that the menu cache was not rebuilt with the SEO Checklist stuff at all. Correct config path or not.

Thanks

Version: 7.x-3.0-beta1 » 7.x-4.0

This issue is still valid for the 7.x-4.0 release. The caches must still be cleared for the module to appear in the list on the Configuration page.

It just happened to me the same issue on upgrading to the 4.0 release.
clearing the caches fixed it.
thanks very much!

drupalerocant, if you are just now installing SEO Checklist, read this issue: http://drupal.org/node/1774590 for some comments on various items in the list that have not yet been updated to align with current SEO best practices.

thanks very much, couturier, for the article.
I will try to apply some of the sensible advice you give in your article.
I know SEO changes a lot with time and new pieces of advice are always welcome, specially a newcomer to SEO.
see you around!

version:7.x-4.0
Drupal 7.16

After I installed SEO-checklist, no SEO checklist option available at search and metadata configuration despite of clearing all caches. Any fix?
Thanks

couturier’s picture

Did you enable the module first? Try running cron.

TravisCarden’s picture

...and did you get any errors? (Do you have error reporting turned on?) Because clearing the cache fixes the problem that was being discussed in this thread, so I'm guessing you're experiencing something different.

korn3lius’s picture

Thanks couturier and TravisCarden for your response,
@couturier: Yes, I turned the module on first and clear the caches + running the cron, but still in vain.

@TravisCarden: I turned on the error reporting, no error message was showed. The same problem was happened to me with google_analytics module. I also can't see any admin settings. However, when I installed the modules in the fresh drupal installation, no problem was found. So I think it must be anything conflicted with my Drupal modules or themes problem. Any idea?

@korn3lius, I agree with your assessment that the problem seems to be with your Drupal site rather than with this module, which puts the matter outside the scope of this issue. I would recommend one of the other Drupal support options—especially IRC.

In fact, I haven't seen anything in this issue that suggests a problem with SEO Checklist itself. I'm postponing pending some indication of an actual problem in the module.

I don't know exactly if the problem is located at my MAMP configuration.
However, after I add
export PATH="/Applications/MAMP/Library/bin:/Applications/MAMP/bin/php5.3/bin:$PATH"
to my .bash_profile .Then I clear the caches, boom, the SEO checklist option menu appeared in search and metadata page.

I just had the same problem. Straightforward site, but used Drush to install it and the checklist API. Tried disabling and then re-enabling. Looked at the issue queue, and found this--I cleared the caches, and there it was.
