Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted April 28, 20168 yr So this is something newish and I know that there is the twitter integration so this could be an awesome addition. This may not work "with" the integration but it would be a good SEO thing to allow for people to set it up. https://dev.twitter.com/cards/overview Just a thought.
April 28, 20168 yr I recommended it too a while ago. Makes perfect sense to support these Twitter meta tags along with the ones Facebook looks for. Tweets with images are so much more likely to get clicks than just plain links. If you can’t wait: it’s surprisingly simple to add it to certain templates. For example, I added this to my video database in Pages: {{\IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['twitter:card'] = 'summary_large_image';}} {{\IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['twitter:site'] = '@TypographyGuru';}} {{\IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['twitter:title'] = $record->_title;}} {{\IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['twitter:description'] = 'Watch this video in the collection of the best typography videos on Typography.Guru';}} {{\IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['twitter:image'] = (string) \IPS\File::get( 'cms_Records', $record->record_image )->url;}}
April 28, 20168 yr Author Oh yeah. I was looking into adding it myself as well but integration for people that aren't as savvy would be good.
August 31, 20168 yr Hi, I have been searching this site for something similar and this post came up. Does anyone know if this went anywhere? Currently when a link to the sate gets tweeted the image shared is the one of my site logo. I would like this to first check the thread/blog/article that is being shared and if no image if found then use the site logo. Is this possible? Thanks
September 8, 20168 yr It is my understanding that IPS currently doesn't support it. Question: if I want to implement it on article pages, which template should I put it to? Also, why the code above different from the sample code supplied by Twitter here? Edited September 8, 20168 yr by steadyoptions

In the Pages template your database uses for the “record view”. On 9/8/2016 at 9:52 PM, steadyoptions said: Also, why the code above different from the sample code supplied by Twitter here? It isn’t. It’s an application of the Twitter code. You can’t just paste the Twitter code. It’s just an example. The fields need to be populated with the dynamic content from the database record. Also, don’t just copy my code above. That’s also just an example. My Pages template include Twitter card support. You don’t need to do anything else than add your Twitter handle to the template.

I want to output record's description mixing a common description text and with strings: record title and database category name. And is there an easy way to use tags as keywords?
March 30, 20177 yr It's working for me: {{\IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['description'] = 'Text ' . $record->_title . ', text ' . $record->container()->_title . ', text ' . $record->author()->name . '.';}} What about the tags as keywords?
March 30, 20177 yr This code is not fine because results in multiple metatags for keywords: {{\IPS\Output::i()->metaTags['keywords'] = $record->tags();}} Result in:

Does your Supergrid view forumposts the same as grid?

May 16, 20177 yr Author @Strakks you should ask in the Peer assistance forum for help to design this yourself or else hire someone to make that for you. Either via a mod or theme design.

May 16, 20177 yr Author The grid style only applies to forum lists. The mod above will do it for databases in pages. Neither of which will touch topics.
