Twitter Summary Card with Large Image

[geekgasm]

I think for gallery images, it is best to use Twitter Summary Card with Large Image instead of the Summary Card.

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary">

to

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image">

Is it possible to implement this with template edits?

 

[frm]

Yes. In the template xfmg_media_view find:

<xf:macro template="metadata_macros" name="metadata"
    arg-description="{$descSnippet}"
    arg-shareUrl="{{ link('canonical:media', $mediaItem) }}"
    arg-imageUrl="{$mediaItem.getCurrentThumbnailUrl(true)}"
    arg-canonicalUrl="{{ link('canonical:media', $mediaItem, {'page': $page}) }}" />

Replace with:

<xf:macro template="metadata_macros" name="metadata"
    arg-description="{$descSnippet}"
    arg-shareUrl="{{ link('canonical:media', $mediaItem) }}"
    arg-imageUrl="{$mediaItem.getCurrentThumbnailUrl(true)}"
    arg-canonicalUrl="{{ link('canonical:media', $mediaItem, {'page': $page}) }}"
    arg-twitterCard="summary_large_image" />

Basically just adding arg-twitterCard to the mix at the end.

Thank you for replying, @frm! However, it seems not to be working. arg-twitterCard="summary_large_image" /> is displaying in the front end.

Thank you so much, @mcatze! That did the trick!



Do you know how to change the index.php (homepage/forums) "summary" card as well?

Odd, I made no edits to that template and my card is still large. I'm on 2.1.5a, though. Quite possibly a change?

I am using "Forums" as my landing homepage. It has "summary" as the default Twitter card. I think I'll leave it as it is and just adjust the "og:image".

Mmm... that's odd.
