And thank you to you because I didn't know these snipplets before your post. But it's a nice feature and I needed some easy test of writing resource content plugin (I have several to write that won't be that easy, so...)

Thank you very good

i installed it & i there is nothing show, after the installation do i need to put something (some code) in the articles ?

@ Roy: "i installed it & i there is nothing show": Normal. The supplementary code appears only to robots. That is why you should test as explained, using Google tool on a yet rated article.

Does it work this way?

"after the installation do i need to put something (some code) in the articles ?" No. Should work alone.

That is excelent!

We are going to look through all Google suported rich snippets and implement those where ever those possible in Cobalt.

Written by jacques_v on

@ Serguei: this content plugin is for Google Rich snippet "Reviews" and "Reviews rating".

Rich snippet "Product"could also be supported easily (e-commerce site for example). The only problem is that category shall match to product categories as defined by Google, which is not optimal most of the time (too many categories, and strong american cultural bias in items definition and hierarchy).

Rich snippet "Breadcrumb"  would be great with Resource, greatest with mixed mode sections: an example:

The standard resource breadcrumb, when used in record display page for a mixed-mode section, is not that user friendly, because it mixes general categories, user categories, userS categories, username, group/client in a non-logical sequence.

I yet modified it in order to display things in a more comprehensive way. See breadcrumb of a mixed mode article on my sitejavascript:mctmp(0);  for an example.

Explanation of this breadcrumb:

Liste Articles magazine → Un article mag → Fictions et Univers → Jacquouille → JFix: Introduction aux fictions → Les Vues

Liste Articles magazine= list + section name. Links to whole section list;

 Un article mag= specific record page. Note: no link, just explanatory;

Fictions et Univers= general category name. Links to specific general category list;

Jacquouille= Author. Links to list of all author's created records in the section Liste Articles magazine;

JFix: Introduction aux fictions= user category. Links to a list of records in this user category;

 Les Vues: record title. No link, but necessary in terms of usability as it makes reader understand in a glance that this breadcrum is a breadcrumb.

However, it's not satisfying, because it does not highlight the double hierarchy structure.

A better breadcrumb would be, done on two lines:

Articles magazine →   Un article mag  →   Fictions et Univers  →   Les Vues
                          ↘ Jacquouille →  JFix:Introduction aux fictions↗

(subcats, if any, between 3rd and 4th term on upper line)

Here, separation of general category hierarchy and user categories is clear to any user and usability better.

So, now, look at Rich snippets - Breadcrumbsjavascript:mctmp(0);

You see that Google can understand those multihierarchy breadcrumbs, and favorite them.

That's the beginning of a discussion if you want.
Anyway, as for me, I'll do this double breadcrumb because many of my users and beta-testers did not by themselves understand the concept of mixed mode sections (each betatester was ...tested for):
they needed an explanation, which is given in the forms, but since explanations are never read (looks like a schoolbook!), things are to be understood at a glance.

To stick the double breadcrumb to Google rich snippet would be a nice plus for cobalt.

Rich snippet "People"  would be great with Touch.

However, I didn't yet implement it because only staff would need such an highlight, not standard registered user in most cases.

It means that a field "you name accessible by Google?" needs to be filled only by staff people.

So, it will be better with new Touch/Registration extension, with its several user profiles.

Other Rich snippets

I didn't think about them, so I cannot say anything useful
