Optimus

[njtweb]

Hi @Bugo - Facebook question

They have recently changed the format/design of the website. I've noticed a few things with shared posts from my website.

1. If there is no image in a site topic - Facebook no longer posts the default image which is identified in Optimus settings. It doesn't even post the topic title, it only posts the URL, nothing is parsed from the topic to Facebook
2. Ift the default image in a topic is small, like 260x260 Facebook does some weird stuff. It either defaults to a very old image from a Tiny Portal article, or it doesn't post any image at all and only posts the URL to the topic. Nothing is parsed.
3. If a topic has a normal sized image, FB will parse that and post it but there's no description

Lastly, in all 3 of these scenarios, I always run every topic I want to post on Facebook through the Facebook debugger. They always parse correctly but since Facebook changed, things don't seem to equate from debugger to facebook in general.

Which brings me to this question. Has FB changed how it parses code again? If it has can you fix this for me? $25USD for your help.

Thank yoU!


EDIT: I was able to install the Chrome Facebook "Switch to classic" extension in order to post topics correctly. This is only a bandaid and I expect the extension to eventually stop working.

Lets wait for the next release TinyPortal (2.0.0 final) because some things will be changed there.
Any case, I have already changed a TinyPortal addon for the current Optimus dev version.

Can you test articles with specific images (1200х630 px)?

Okay Bugo, thank you. I'll continue to use the Chrome extension for now. I'll get back to you on the image test.

I have spent the morning trying to get the mod to work.  There are no instructions on how to do this.

I uploaded the zip file via admin panel.  then I clicked on install.   Mod shows a green light but I dont see the mod interface anywhere.  there is a database.php file in the zip file.  do I need to do something with that?

[Bugo]

On the mod page find "Manual install" select box, select your SMF version and click "Parse" button.

if you used the package manager to install it, then it should already BE installed

it installed under a heading in the admin called "Search Engine Optimization
index.php?action=admin;area=optimus

Its installed but not there.  And I dont see any changes to the database.

have you been able to install any other mods?

have you been able to install any other mods?

Have not tried.  But its a good idea.

[pixelpadre]

Yes.  I installed invitation Mod.  And it works.

[pixelpadre]

Here is what my admin panel shows.  Not the left column shows Invitation mod but not the other Optimus mod.

You could try uninstalling and then reinstalling optimus

if that doesn't work, then yes... you will probably have to manually install the Optimus mod, since your system seems to be incapable of installing it automatically.

Uninstalling and reinstalling was the first thing I tried.

Going back to my original post...........are there any instructions on how to install this manually.

I noticed that owner is set to root for all of the mod files/directories when it is installed from the admin panel.  Is that a problem?

[Kindred]

if another mod installed correctly, it should not be a problem....

Manual install instructions are on the mod download page...

On the mod page find "Manual install" select box, select your SMF version and click "Parse" button.

[pixelpadre]

Those are not instructions. 

There is a database modification file that isnt even mention in the "directions".

Hi Bugo, is there a reason why this option has been removed?

Add ALL topic pages to the sitemap
If not checked, only the first pages of topics will be added to the sitemap.

Thanks

[Bugo]

Usually, the search spider gets the first link - http://yourforum/?topic=x.0 - and then finds all other automatically, no need to collect all possible links in sitemaps.

Thanks for your reply Bugo 

In my forum I have many discussions with over 50 pages and after the upgrade from 2.8.3 to 2.9.3 the google indexing has dropped a lot, last pages are no longer indexed.

I think it is better put back the option.

Need some help here.
I tried to add emojis to the forum title and description, but it won't work. If I add an emoji the whole title or description text will disappear. Usually, emojis are treated as text, and shouldn't be a problem to add/use them. I use emojis sometimes in topic titles and there are no issues in these cases. Just inside the meta data it won't work. Any idea why?
