I try add this script on HEAD.PHP file of template, but do not work
Facebook Open Graph do not owrk properly
I think the problem is to find on : /templates/gk_storefront/html/com_content/article/default.php
don't work properly OG:IMAGE and OG
ESCRIPTION tag
Please add it and make sure to disable cache (or clear it). Code needs to be present on the page so I will be able to check if it does what it should and adjust it for other metatags.Hello Sir, the code was added and the cache disabled (the website do not use it).
Please, tell-me if you can help me, thanks
angelino Hi. I can see the issue in my code. Please use this one instead:
<script type=“text/javascript">(function($) {$(document).ready(function() {
if( $('.itemBody img').size()>0 ){
$('head').append(('<meta property="og:image" content="'+$('.itemBody img').attr('src')+'" />');
}
});})(jQuery)</script>Hello Sir, unfortunately this doesn't seem to work either. I would like to understand where I have to enter it, if in a precise position on the page.
perhaps it should be inserted in the page /templates/gk_storefront/html/com_content/article/default.php ?
Thank you
Ok the code has been removed, now the original tepmlate file is back
angelino Hi. I've worked with the code and looks like og:image is appearing in code now.
a script I used is at the end of /layout/blocks/head.php
<script>(function($) {$(document).ready(function() {
if( $('.itemBody').size()>0 ){
$('head').append('<meta property="og:image" content="'+$('.itemBody img').attr('src')+'" />');
}
});})(jQuery)</script>Sorry my friend, but this code dont work properly. The OG:image tag do not appear!
I noticed that the problem concerns JOOMLA (sigh!).
The problem should be resolved in the file .../html/com_content/article/default.php
I found this tutorial : https://www.collectiveray.com/joomla/joomla-tutorials/add-facebook-open-graph-and-twitter-cards-to-joomla.html#h2-1-1-joomla-open-graph-tags-create-a-template-override-for-articles
and implemented it in my template. Unfortunately the problem is not solved because the script does not work with the images inserted in the content of the articles. But I think it's a good starting point.
thanks
angelino Hi. Ok, I believe itwill do the same what my script did, but we can do it this way.
I do have a function which extract image from text:
function imageExtract( $text ) {
$imagePath = '';
if( preg_match( '/\<img.*src=.*?\>/', $text )):
$imageStartPosition = JString::strpos( $text, 'src="' );
if( $imageStartPosition):
$imageEndPosition = JString::strpos( $text, '"', $imageStartPosition + 5 );
endif;
if( $imageStartPosition > 0 ):
$imagePath = JString::substr( $text, ( $imageStartPosition + 5 ), ( $imageEndPosition - ( $imageStartPosition + 5 ) ) );
print '';
endif;
endif;
return $imagePath;
} // eof imafeExtract()copy it above the changes advice and than replace the image value to:
<meta property="og:image" content="'.imageExtract( $this->item->fulltext ).'"/>
