updating to 2.x open graph content disappears

[grazia]

hello,

I have a new problem. After update to 2.x all what I insert in metadata open graph don't appear.
For example
<meta property="og:image" content="{$entry->file_location}/{$entry->fields['immagine']->value}" />
<meta property="og:title" content="{$entry->title}" />
<meta property="og:url" content="{$entry->canonical}" />

on html source become:

<meta property="og:image" content=" " />
<meta property="og:title" content=" " />
<meta property="og:url" content="" />

With precedent version they worked... what ca I do?

thank you.

I made several attempts reading this page, but I don't find the working syntax. Please, can you make me an example with metadata og content?

[velden]

I assume the $entry variable comes from a module detail template like News?

In that detail template try something like

Code: Select all

{$og_entry=$entry scope=global}

Then in your og meta tags use $og_entry in stead of $entry.

I didn't test this at all but worth to try.

I am working on a new tutorial describing how to make this, will be ready within a week I think.

if you post a tutorial can you make a link in this post so I can find it?

My attempts don't work this for example

<meta property="og:title" content="{$og_title=$entry->title scope=global}" />

is wrong.

Read carefully what I wrote before:

[grazia]

yes, I use it only in News template.

[velden]

Makes no sense.

Code: Select all

<meta property="og:title" content="{$og_title=$entry->title scope=global}" />

I doubt you're displaying the meta tag in your detail template, right?


My suggestion is/was (and please try to understand the concept):

somewhere in your NEWS DETAIL template:

Copy the $entry variable to $og_entry and give $og_entry a global scope.

Code: Select all

{$og_entry=$entry scope=global}

Use $og_entry (should be possible because it has global scope).

PAGE template:

Code: Select all

<meta property="og:image" content="{$og_entry->file_location}/{$og_entry->fields['immagine']->value}" />
<meta property="og:title" content="{$og_entry->title}" />
<meta property="og:url" content="{$og_entry->canonical}" />

Thank you Velden, now I understand the concept.
Thank you so much.
