Image Format

jpg|png|gif

your images are in

?action=dlattach;attach=1031;image


that is not accepted

This is wonderful, thank you so much! I am getting some errors though..and no images are being added.

Inferred Property
The provided 'og:image' properties are not yet available because new images are processed asynchronously. To ensure shares of new URLs include an image, specify the dimensions using 'og:image:width' and 'og:image:height' tags.

Could Not Follow Redirect Path
Using data from http://www.colormeforum.com/f/strut-your-stuff/rise-shine/?PHPSESSID=b0d3deb10efaf0e15cb50194e250d051 because there was an error following the redirect path.

Could Not Follow Redirect
URL requested a HTTP redirect, but it could not be followed.

Share App ID Missing
The 'fb:app_id' property should be explicitly provided, Specify the app ID so that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share dialog.

Mismatch og:url and canonical url
og:url tag in the header is not the same URL as rel='canonical' link in the html.

I think the redirect ones will be fixed if you use the canonical, it shouldn't be putting php session info in there to share.

Also for the images, you need to grab their width and height:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices/#precaching

Use og:image:width and og:image:height Open Graph tags
Using these tags will specify the image dimensions to the crawler so that it can render the image immediately without having to asynchronously download and process it.

Additionally I have a Facebook App ID, it would be really great if you could enable for that.

Thanks for making this!! I hope you can make some changes to make it better .

Hello folks,

Does this mod work properly on 2.0.12 version?
Is it available any tutorial for specific installation how to avoid basic issues like why the default image is not working?

Thanks!

Thanks for your response, but I have some issues with this mod.
There is nothing special to configure. The check box is checked but nothing I can see.

The default image "thum_opf.png" is not working.

Oh so Pretty URL is interfering? Hmm. But Pretty URL shouldn't matter because the original links work? Or perhaps I am not understanding how it's interfering?

Glad you're working on some of my suggestions, they will be great updates .

Also I do not have ANY OG code added to my forum it seems? It's definitely enabled and my default image is set as well.

The web site is mkreef.com
There is no particular tutorial how to work on open graph with smf. It's a big mess using some other things and trying to modify them to the way to implement on a simple machines forum-software. Maybe somewhere there is an explanation but I can't find it. I don't know what files needs to be edited/modified.

Now I have installed other similar mods but it's not open graph. I want to change them because the forum is very slow.
I just want to add "share" and "like" buttons with open graph.

[Jade Elizabeth]

Have you made any progress to fixing the errors?

No, no progress at all!

I was hoping Dhayzon was looking into it all for us .

Hi, This MOD works fine, but in our case it doesn't really fit because we have a feature that allows people to share a single post to facebook (twitter and so on) and the MOD overrides it by picking up the text and image from the first post. If the MOD could be tuned to take into account these specificities it would be perfect.

Oh no! What happened?

It shouldn't matter, it doesn't add sharing stuff it just means if people paste the link into FB the info can be grabbed.

It adds og meta tags in the source code of each page, which means that if you try to share a post using the direct link to a post somewhere inside the topic then the description, image and etc on facebook will always be the one of the first post (which is not always the intended action).

[Kindred]

However, since smf does not do a single post on its own page, there is no way to avoid that

Isn't it possible to generate dynamic meta tags according to the link in each post?

I found among other links, this one: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17476699/how-do-i-create-a-custom-facebook-share-dialog-box-passing-parameters

So it should be possible to pass the info we want to share, it just has to be dynamically and not static generated.

[Kindred]

just so that you are aware...   the OG tags ARE generated "dynamically" -- that is why each page has its own set of tags.

static would be the description, if the tags were the same across ALL pages

Ok, perhaps I wasn't clear enough on my previous post, what I mean is that it should be possible to generate the correct info to pass on the facebook feed dialog, like grabbing the first sentences of that specific post for the description and the first image in the post for the picture parameter and so on.

[Kindred]

in short... not with this mod.


What you are asking for is a modification to the individual "share this specific post" mod.

THIS mod adds the OG tags into the header, dynamically, for each *PAGE*. It does not add a "share" button...

So, what you are doing (sharing an individual post) is not even within the design of this mod.

Yes, I understand that, was just pointing out that this MOD scrambles/overrides the sharing individual posts functionality.

[Kindred]

then don't install this mod?

or rather... n  this mod does exactly what it is designed to do (and what the core of 2.1 does)
So, it is, rather, the author of the individual share mod that needs to fix their code.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!

[Vince S]

Just to ask a potentially silly question, is this mod being supported?

I have been trying to get links to topics in Facebook to display an image rather than a 403 error so installed the mod. On smf 2.0.14, whereas the mod only references 2.0.11 compatibility, despite that 2.0.14 instructions are available.

Discussion about the problem here, lack of responses means it must be hard I guess?

[luuuciano]

Mmmmmm, as I wanted to improve facebook posts shared at facebook... installed this mod, but it does not work as intended...
I have been using a mod to provide inline images... so, tested using a regular img (using the link provided by this image mod): https://cbabikes.com.ar/dlattach/attach.6539/image./ciclismo-urbano/bicicletas-un-beneficio-para-todos-aunque-les-moleste-13461.0.html (oh yes, that is an image... lol)

Any idea how to modify the mod to use that kind of image links?

Or... how to improve posts shared at facebook? images are no properly fetched anymore...

There is any mod to add a OG:IMAGE image, as a field in posts?? did not find...

LOOKING at the code, I found this line:
if(preg_match('/(https?:\/\/\S+\.(?:jpg|png|gif))\s+/',$ogImage,$match))
...
hot to change it to match URLs that has "dlattach/attach" or just "dlattach" on it?

Any regular expression magician here?

UPDATE, asked on an IRC channel and this came up:
         if(preg_match('/((https?:\/\/\S+attach\S+))\s+/',$ogImage,$match))

It seem to do the job.... at least... will test it at fb

Does this mod work with SMF v2.1.1?

[shadav]

Does this mod work with SMF v2.1.1?

did you check the mod's page?

COMPATIBLE WITH 2.0.11

so then to answer your question...no it is not
and well seeing that
