display as vertical tab in edit mode

At least it should show up as a field in Manage Fields page. Now there isn't really any easy way to control the position of Yoast element in node edit page.

I agree, having the Yoast widget displayed in Manage Fields settings form would be useful.

+1. On complex node types with many fields, using a module like field_group is a must. If Yoast offers no control on how it is displayed in the manage fields section of content type administration, it just lurks around oddly when someone is adding content.

Thanks in advance for any development in this area.

HI,

I had the same issue so have created a Patch create a setting on the settings page "/admin/config/search/yoast" which allows you to choose wether Yoast sits in a vertical tab or not.

Thanks,
Chris

Is anybody able to review this?

If you want a quick-and-dirty solution while waiting for a fix, implement this in a custom module:

/**
 * Implements hook_form_alter().
 */
function MYMODULE_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state) {
  if (isset($form['yoast_seo'])) {
    $form['yoast_seo']['#type'] = 'fieldset';
    $form['yoast_seo']['#group'] = 'additional_settings';
  }
}

I confirm that #5 works as expected.

I've reduced the patch to only change the behaviour of the SEO analysis on the edit page and to leave the settings page without vertical tabs. The settings page is small enough at this point that it's not worth hiding options from first visiting users.

I've also simplified some logic and fixed some coding standards issues.

Thanks everyone!
