Hi,
I have a need of calling custom social field data in the site’s meta.
Here is exactly what I need:
I have user’s profiles with one of the fields as “Twitter Handler”. The users are my authors also. So I am trying to create twitter cards. To do so I need the following meta in the head of my site:

twitter:card => Defines the type of twitter card like summary, player, photo, galary, etc.
<meta property=”twitter:card” content=”summary” />

twitter:site => Twitter Holder of the Site where the content appeared
<meta name=”twitter:site” content=”@mysite_in”>

twitter:title => Tweet Title (70 Characters)
<meta name=”twitter:title” content=”Tweet Title”>

twitter:description => Card Description text [200 characters]
<meta name=”twitter:description” content=”Description”>

twitter:creator => Content author’s twitter handler
<meta name=”twitter:creator” content=”Author’s Twitter Holder”>

twitter:image:src => Image source for the card image (>60x60px)
<meta name=”twitter:image:src” content=”Image Source”>

twitter:domain => Domain to appear on the site
<meta name=”twitter:domain” content=”mysite.com”>

twitter:url => Destination URL
<meta property=”twitter:url” content=”Destination URL” />

I have been able to get all the necessary metas by editing the head.php in joomla/library/…….
I am stuck with 2 thinkg majorly:
1) Author’s Twitter Handler

2) Image

Since I have create a field called “Your Twitter Handler”; how can I get the joomla to identify the author of the article and then fetch the twitter handler from this field and put is as <meta name=”twitter:creator” content=”twitter.com/authors-profile”>

Please keep in mind that article on my site can be authored by any person having an account on my website so the twitter author field must fetch author’s twitter handler dynamically corresponding to the article being shared.
