iacas Posted December 27, 2020 Posted December 27, 2020 Just now, Adriano Faria said: Members -> Moderators. Thanks. Just upgraded to 4.5 so I haven't had the chance to fine tune everything yet. I appreciate you pointing me in the right direction. And maybe I'll look into CSS-ing up the link to make it a bit smaller or move it somewhere. Or replacing it with an image or something.
DamonT Posted August 19, 2022 Posted August 19, 2022 @Adriano Faria is it working also as preview image for Facebooks (og:image)?
Adriano Faria Posted August 19, 2022 Author Posted August 19, 2022 I don't know; I never used Facebook on my board but if it uses the topic embed image, then probably yes.
DamonT Posted August 19, 2022 Posted August 19, 2022 I don't think so. There should be special tag in source code for Facebook preview images like: <meta property="og:image" content="XXX.jpg"> It would be nice to have such option in this plugin. It would be much better alternative for this one (when we can not change the image):
MeanGene Posted October 9, 2022 Posted October 9, 2022 This looks like a great plugin. Before I purchase I had a question. Thank you for taking the time to reply. Does this plug-in effect the embedded image when the link is posted to say... Facebook? Currently when I link any forum thread to FB it shows up with the same generic picture each time. My hope is this plug-in will allow me to chose the embedded image, allow me to link to FB and that embedded image show up on the FB post. I have not seen this question asked or it addressed in the purchase notes.

It changes the embed image when you post a link in the suite. If it changes the og:image, then yes. But I would need to make some tests first. I’ll reply up to tomorrow.

Adriano Faria Posted October 12, 2022 Author Posted October 12, 2022 What's New in Version 1.1.1: Add support to og:image Meta Tag so the embed image will also be used as the image to be used when you share a link in Facebook, Instagram, etc. DamonT and Clover13 2
MeanGene Posted October 18, 2022 Posted October 18, 2022 Thank you very much. Will get this purchased and integrated asap.
MeanGene Posted October 29, 2022 Posted October 29, 2022 Hi, Thanks for the changes to the plugin. I purchased and installed the app. As a test I chose an Embed image for the thread. Then copy and pasted the link into FB post. The embed image did not follow to the FB post. Is there an additional step? When you refer to og:image <--- Do I need to do something with this? Forgive my ignorance, not savvy with the lingo.
Adriano Faria Posted October 29, 2022 Author Posted October 29, 2022 og:image is what Facebook uses to show as post image: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/?locale=en_US Right click in this topic page and see if it shows og:image in the source code. If it’s there, click in the path and see if the image loads properly. I also not sure if it matters but probably the image should be accessible to guests. Read the page I linked. There are some advices there regarding the image.

The og:image parameter should be added to source code even if the thumbnail has not been manually swapped. In this case, either the image that was automatically selected for the thumbnail or the default image that is used for topics without any images, should be specified there as og:image.

Adriano Faria Posted June 7, 2023 Author Posted June 7, 2023 What's New in Version 1.1.2 Add the ability to the embed image also be used when you share a link on Twitter or make a tweet directly on Twitter. DamonT 1
Clover13 Posted August 5, 2023 Posted August 5, 2023 Found an issue where using the add-on to select an attached image as the Embed Image and then later deleting the image results in the topic displaying duplicate original post and comments (OP and comments, then OP and comments again). The breadcrumbs also indicate a problem of duplication in the pathing. See:

The breadcrumbs also indicate a problem of duplication in the pathing. See: Oh yes, IPS added og:image to topics in 4.7.11. I'll remove it from my resource. The EMBED (internal) part is working fine, right? Edited August 5, 2023 by Adriano Faria
Adriano Faria Posted August 9, 2023 Author Posted August 9, 2023 What's New in Version 1.1.3 Remove the ability to set the og:image as it is a core feature since IPS 4.7.11.
