Placing Schema Mark up on page

jcstauring

I'm trying to add a unique schema markup to the home page only, specifically within the <head> section of the page.

I have a featured article displayed on the home page, and I'm attempting to insert the schema using the "Schema" tab located at:
administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&layout=edit&id=...
I’m selecting Schema Type: "Custom" and pasting the JSON code there. However, the schema does not appear in the page source <head> section as expected.

I am able to add the schema code using a Custom Module, but that places the code in the body section, which is not the desired result.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks,
JC

Hi JC,

You can backup & edit this head block of template:

[root_folder]/templates/ja_morgan/tpls/blocks/head.php

Add the following PHP block to the end of this file:

<?php
$app = JFactory::getApplication();
$menu = $app->getMenu();
$active = $menu->getActive();

if ($menu->getActive() == $menu->getDefault()) {
    // Only show on homepage
    ?>
    <script type="application/ld+json">
    {
      "@context": "https://schema.org",
      "@type": "Organization",
      "name": "Your Site Name",
      "url": "https://yoursite.com",
      "logo": "https://yoursite.com/logo.png"
      // your full schema code here
    }
    </script>
    <?php
}
?>

and change the schema info as you wish.

This way will help to inject schema into the <head> only on the homepage.
