og:description using meta description was created by iamrobert

For the og:description - I believe FLEXIcontent should pull from the meta description first to insert the code rather than the description. If meta description doesn't exist use description.

lines 311 to 321: plugins/flexicontent_fields/core/core.php

Revised Code:

Code:

if ($useogp && $field->{$prop}) {
if ( in_array($view, $ogpinview) ) {						
$content_val = flexicontent_html::striptagsandcut($field->display, $ogpmaxlen);
$metadesc = $item->metadesc;
if($metadesc){
JFactory::getDocument()->addCustomTag('<meta property="og:description" content="'.$metadesc.'" />');
}else{
JFactory::getDocument()->addCustomTag('<meta property="og:description" content="'.$content_val.'" />');
}
}
}

Hello

this is not bad suggestion, probably this should be the desired behavour,

will commit this, should not have any bad effect on existing sites, since it takes effect only if item has meta description

also will commit for toolbar, as og desc can be add by core.php or via toolbar field too

-- a note if you are using metadesc there is no need to strip and cut text of the description field, so the cut /strip tags should be moved inside the
else { ... }

thanks, regards
