twitter sharing and Summary Card

[bendiesel]

Hi, please i need help about sharing on twitter,

using the share button on VB5.4.4, i couldn't succeed to have correct sharing on twitter like this:



when i tested the link on "card validator" on twitter, i get this:



is there any setting on VB or should i deal with labyrinthine twitter docs ?

thank you for help ?

There are no settings for these. We don't include the missing fields. We should include the og:title field.

i hope that a dedicated field will be included in next version, Please have you idea about the correct place to add manually the below meta tags to VB site, this is the example provided by Twitter:

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary" />
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@flickr" />
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Small Island Developing States Photo Submission" />
<meta name="twitter:description" content="View the album on Flickr." />
<meta name="twitter:image" content="https://farm6.staticflickr.com/5510/14338202952_93595258ff_z.jpg" />

i really appreciate your help

If twitter:title is not present, then it looks for og:title and then for <title> tag. I have a mod that works for Twitter Card and it doesn't generate twitter:title but it still works. See HTML meta tags generated by the mod and the sample output in the Twitter Card validator tool below.

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@vbmodsthatrocks" />
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="@vbmodsthatrocks" />
<meta property="og:url" content="https://vbmods.rocks" />
<meta property="og:title" content="Free &amp; Premium vBulletin Mods by an ex-vB Developer - vBulletin Mods That Rock!" />

<meta property="og:updated_time" content="1541251555" />

And here's another sample for topic detail page with dynamic title and image (first attached image in a topic)

<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image" />
<meta name="twitter:site" content="@vbmodsthatrocks" />
<meta name="twitter:creator" content="@vbmodsthatrocks" />
<meta property="og:url" content="https://vbmods.rocks/forum/vbulletin-5-modifications/vbulletin-5-products-and-extensions/1350-open-graph-meta-tags-for-facebook-and-twitter-and-all-social-media-sites" />
<meta property="og:title" content="Open Graph Meta Tags for Facebook and Twitter and all social media sites - vBulletin Mods That Rock!" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Content is king. But what is a king without followers? In this day and age, when you want your forum to reach a broader audience, you'd share on social media. The" />
