Enhancing Drupal's Schema.org Metatag Module with Custom Fields

To The New shared a blog post on enhancing the Schema.org Metatag module in Drupal with custom fields to improve search engine rankings and rich snippet displays. The post begins by explaining the necessity of custom fields when default schemas are insufficient. It then outlines a step-by-step guide for implementing these custom fields. 

First, ensure the Schema.org Metatags module (version 3.0.0+) and a custom module are installed. Next, define a meta tag plugin by creating a PHP class in the custom module's directory and annotating it appropriately. Then, declare the new meta tag in the module's configuration file, specifying its type and label. After clearing the cache, verify the custom field's addition in the organization schema via the Drupal admin interface. This method allows for flexible metadata enhancements tailored to specific project needs, thus optimizing SEO and metadata management for Drupal sites.
