Hi

I published a (french) website made with Ja Lens but a problem is remaining with Facebook : the meta description of the items contains Html characters and it looks awful when I share an item on Facebook

What the Meta looks like in source code of item page :
<meta name=”og:description” content=”<p>Traitement HDR sur Photomatix pour Minnie.</p>” />
<meta name=”description” content=”<p>Traitement HDR sur Photomatix pour Minnie.</p>” />

Inside the componentcom_k2viewsitemview.html.php :
$document->setMetaData(‘og:description’, htmlspecialchars(strip_tags($document->getDescription()), ENT_QUOTES, ‘UTF-8’));

Example page : http://www.ctaninfographie.fr/index.php/fr/traitements-photos/item/51-minnie

Can you help me to solve this problem ?
Thank you in advance
Thb60

Hello thb60,

Because $document->getDescription() used htmlspecialchars before getting site description. So strip_tags in this case is useless. I used htmlspecialchars_decode to decode description before using strip_tags.

Code should be edited:
[PHP]$document->setMetaData(‘og:description’, htmlspecialchars(strip_tags(htmlspecialchars_decode($document->getDescription())), ENT_QUOTES, ‘UTF-8’));[/PHP]

Regards.
