Hello,

First of all, I am pretty new to opengraph, so if anyone is reading this keep in mind it is probably my fault and not a problem with phoca's opengraph plugin.

I installed and enabled the phoca opengraph plugin. It did not change the way my pages are shared on facebook though.
I checked the webpage code, and it did include the opengraph meta tags, but I am wondering if they are correct:

Code: Select all

<meta [b][u]name[/u][/b]="og:title" content="Page title">
<meta [b][u]name[/u][/b]="og:type" content="company">
<meta [b][u]name[/u][/b]="og:image" content="http://link to a chosen image for that article ID (all works fine)">
<meta [b][u]name[/u][/b]="og:url" content="http://the url">
<meta [b][u]name[/u][/b]="og:site_name" content="Webpage name">
<meta [b][u]name[/u][/b]="og:description" content="The page's description">

All content in the meta tags seems to be fine, but facebook seems to ignore it and just continues to display stuff as it did before the addon was enabled.

On all pages I found about this, people use the same approach, but other meta tags. For images, for example, they use:

Code: Select all

<meta [b][u]property[/u][/b]="og:image" content="

For every meta where phoca uses the "name":

Code: Select all

<meta [b][u]name[/u][/b]="og:title"

Other people use "property":

Code: Select all

<meta property="og:title"

Is this a problem with phoca? Might it need an update? Or did I miss something?

Hi, testing it now without any problem. The standard tags described in documentation are used.

I think this is more a question on FB developers, to copy the source code of your site and ask why this does not work

Hi, I am not sure with your answer...
the standard want the tag property and not the tag name... http://ogp.me/

are you going to update it to follow that standard?

thank you

Hi, if there are any changes since the module was developed, I will take a look at it (as soon as possible, but as there is Joomla! 3 which includes a lot of changes, and all extensions must be overwritten, I think, it will take some time, will be great if someone can help with including the changes which were made to ogp.

Thank you, Jan

Hello @all,
Just a quick question... any news on this?

It actually works as it is, only facebook linter is claiming warnings.

Overall, a nice plugin which works as advertised, THANK YOU!
