Hello

1. the empty og:image
is by the toolbar field that tries to extract from description

SOLUTION: disable og:image in the toolbar field and only enable the "title" and "description"
(i did the above)

2. the duplicate description field is because
something is adding the 'description' of the sharevideo field

do you have some custom code inside your custom template ?

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Hello,

thank you for your corrections.

I have also found the origin of 2 OG:description : To concatenate the main description and the video description field, I have created a field which duplicate both value. The field is called 'description_article'.

the 2 fields had display social site.
I have corrected it.

Now the OG: tab seems to be good :
- 1 title record
- 1 image record
- 1 description record

The pop-up remains false.

I have done a test reinstalling the AddThis module and desabling the toolbar fields.
the problem is the same. I have suppressed now the AddThis module.

Customizing the template : I use copy of the default template. But I have not modified the code.

I use customisation with 'Rereplacer' when needed.
I use specific tags in prefix/suffix.

Tell me if you need other informations.

best regards

Michel

Hello

in r1880, (you can extract from SVN) we have added support for image field in toolbar, thus toolbar will have all needed OGP tags in one place (even if you do not display toolbar, you can still add toolbar in "render only" template position to force the addition of the tags)
thus you can disable social support in description and in image fields

-- also you can create 1 toolbar per content type and assign 1 toolbar to each content type

-- of course if you use same configuration for toolbar field, then you will not need 1 toolbar field per content type

-- we have note that despite these being added facebook does not show them, maybe it is facebook caching, must do some more testing

Regards

I have uploaded the RC V1880.

I have unactivated the facebook parameters in all fields except the toolbar displayed at the top of the article.

I have unactivated all social fields in the toolbar displayed at the bottom of the site.

I get all 3 fields for facebook (image, description, title).

As you told the problem remains.

I have done a check with another site where social links is working (using web-expert.gr plugin).

The 1st line of parolevolee source is :

Code:

<html xml:lang="fr-fr" lang="fr-fr">

The 1st line of the other site is :

Code:

<html xmlns:fb="https://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns/fb#" xml:lang="fr-fr" lang="fr-fr" >

Thinking this may be problem, I have done the replacement with Rereplacer.

The change is done, but the problem remains. I have unactivated this change.

I have also a question with the description content.

the value given by the description tag corresponds to core description field content.
For my site I use a field which duplicate core description field and videoshared description field.

I have not seen how to use the field in description field in place of core description field (as it could be done for image field).

To solve the problem I have put the display description to 'NO' and activated the social field as description for the customized description field.

With this modification, I get the content needed in the 'OG' tabs.

Best regards
Michel

i was thinking exactly something like the above to be reason of the problem

just note that when you change your HTML source !

-- then you need to bypass facebook caching of the URL !! , so always add to your URLs:
&aaaa=1
&aaaa=2
&aaaa=3

i will find time to read docs and make tests to fix this

hello

For me this problem is not a prior=ity too. I think I have found how to get the description text manually in the 'OG' tabs.

Just for information, the first days I got the title, the image and the text with toolbar.
What's also strange is that even the article title doesn't appear.

As event Addthis module doesn't work, if you agree, I send a post to Addthis forum site to ask them why it's not working

best regards

Michel
