Facebook OpenGraph Image from [img] or [attach] tags 1.3

[Lemminator]

ok i upload the pic in my xf gallery and use the link to implement my pic in the topic.

 

[BobbyWibowo]

Then most likely because of that. There are threads in my forums with thumbnail-only attachments and the first attachment was finely detected by the add-on.

 

[Lemminator]

he have the pic . but is there a wa to disable the profit pic and xenforo pic ?

 

[BobbyWibowo]

If you want to disable avatar, you'll have to edit open_graph_meta template and find the line that adds avatar and remove it. If you want to remove xenforo logo, it's better to revert my customization or change the default logo as documented here. My customization was so that it's possible for user to still choose the logo if they don't want to use attachment picture when they share my forums on Facebook.

Hello,

nice addon, works with a litle bit custom code like a charm.

Is there a way to adapt this also for Xenforo Ressource Manager ressources to use attached images in ressources also as Opengraph image on FB?

Regards

Some way to remove those ugly [ATTACH ] [ATTACH ] [ATTACH ] in meta descriptions?

 

[Ghostaunt]

Someone know some way to remove those ugly [ATTACH ] [ATTACH ] [ATTACH ] in meta descriptions?

Like the IMG TAG....

 

[BobbyWibowo]

@rafass @Ghostaunt Someone mentioned this issue before, and a guy had a solution here: https://xenforo.com/community/threa...rom-page-meta-descriptions.67738/#post-904582

I've been testing with this method posted by @Kevin Remer here:
https://xenforo.com/community/threa...rom-page-meta-descriptions.67738/#post-904582
and I've replaced the [IMG ] with [ATTACH ] in th PHP code, but doesn't work.

 

[rafass]

Thinking the same again Bobby
This is working fine in your site?

 

[BobbyWibowo]

lol, apparently yeah

This is working fine in your site?

I haven't tested yet. I'm still in the middle of updating drivers and software. After that I'll have to update my local installation of XenForo and do some experiments

 

[rafass]

I've been testing while ago with that code, trying to remove those [ATTACH ]'s but doesn't work here. :r

Check your site's source code instead. Also don't forget to clear Facebook cache by forcing it to scrape your site again with this tool: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

Like the IMG TAG....

and smilies too:

 

[BobbyWibowo]

If the code from the thread we linked before could work, then it's easy to remove both BBCode tags and Smilies. They both have patterns, so we can easily use regex instead.

Definitely the code linked above doesn't work to me

this works quite well. I have modded it a bit if the author is interested. I've sent the code to the author so he can update it and release it.

Now, if you a youtube video embedded in the post it will get the default screenshot from youtube and use that as a og:image URL.

Example:
My thread (https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/proper-stuck.145659/) only has a youtube video embedded in it.
The og:image is that of the sunken landrover a few posts down. I don't want that

So now the plugin returns https://img.youtube.com/vi/cM_vjHgPfm0/0.jpg which is the default image for the video.
Much nicer

 

[BobbyWibowo]

Ohho, nice idea. So it is:

https://img.youtube.com/vi/VIDEO_ID/0.jpg

I suppose I'll be implementing this extra to a similar add-on which I'm currently working on. Thanks for the idea!

 

[CrispinP]

That's exactly it. I've emailed the author and given him the code to update. If I don't hear back then I'll release an updated version.

I did find fb a bit temperamental and complained that the image response was too slow. It then refused to load it. I've a few ideas on how to solve that but will see how it goes.

 

[BobbyWibowo]

Does 0.jpg always the same as hqdefault.jpg? I have kinda finished my add-on which is sorta packed with extra features requested by someone else. But for the extra feature of adding YT thumbnail, I kinda used hqdefault.jpg instead of 0.jpg.
