Title: Open Graph : Image Meta
Post by: djrudyn on 16.08.2023 21:15:52
Hello all,

I'd like to thank you for this great extension.
When I share any entry from JDownloads on Facebook or Twitter, I get no Open Graph images. I've tried to upload entry image as normal in the component, but I still get no image. I entered the image inside description (inside text), but also I get no images on facebook.

I've tested the entry via Facebook sharing tool (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug), I get this issue:
Inferred Property
The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Could you help me to solve this issue?
Is there any place in the download file that I could explicitly add the  'og:image' property

Hi,
I've never used Facebook, and I've only used Twitter very rarely. So maybe I don't understand what exactly you mean by the error description. I think a few screenshots might help.

And sorry for the very late reaction. I have problems to get notifications from the forum.

Hi
I also do not use Facebook.  But I checked out The Open Graph Protocol' https://ogp.me/
In there the have a section under Structured Properties
A full image example:

<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/ogp.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image:secure_url" content="https://secure.example.com/ogp.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/jpeg" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="400" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="300" />
<meta property="og:image:alt" content="A shiny red apple with a bite taken out" />

So I would suggest you add this to the Meta Data key words section in the Publishing Options of the Download in the Backend.

Hi
As Arno said we are not Facebook 'knowledgeabe' - I do not use Facebook or other social media so I cannot advise on any link
