Code tweakers

This script will create OG:meta tags for xtgem blog posts
I have tested this on this sites blog and it works
NOTE: facebook may have old versions of your share data cached and it will be up to you to get this reset
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/batch/
from what I can tell you have to request 'rescrape' one post at a time

This will only work on blogs that are output by xtscript and have a twig template file
The script creates AUTOMATIC facebook og meta tags using the posts title text content canonical URI and the FIRST image found in the post[/b]

FIRST go to https://developers.facebook.com register start a project and get an app_id this then needs to go in the fb:ap_id meta tag in the last line of the main xt:script

This needs to go in your blog twig just below the {% elseif view == 'entry' %} Line

Copy code

Here is the actual xtscript code it needs it needs to be inserted after the blog has been assigned to a xtscript variable ( this expects it to be $blog )

# FB OG TAGS
get __xtblog_entry
if not $__xtblog_entry or not $blog
  var $fb_og ={{
<meta content="DEFAULT TITLE" property='og:title' />
<meta content="SITE DESCRIPTION (max 300 chars)" property='og:description' />

<meta content='website' property='og:type' />
}}
  goto @skip_og
  endif
  var $og_tags_s = call strpos $haystack=$blog;$needle=og_tags=
  var $og_tags_s = ($og_tags_s+8)

var $fb_og =$fb_og {{

you then need to add this to the <head> area of the blog page using text editor

{_$$fb_og|}
