Blomstra Meta - an open graph and schema.org extension with cards

Hari

✨ luceos adding the site logo on the image card would be nice. there should be an option to display on the right-hand corner or left-hand corner.

tankerkiller125 <meta property="og:type" content="website">
<meta property="og:url" content="https://flarum.org/">
<meta property="og:title" content="Flarum">
<meta property="og:description" content="Flarum is the next-generation forum software that makes online discussion fun. It's simple, fast, and free.">
<meta property="og:image" content="https://flarum.org/assets/img/flarum-banner.png">

if I share the 42nd post link on Twitter or FB will it display the 42nd post description as meta description? or will it consider the first post description as the meta description?

https://discuss.flarum.org/d/27092-blomstra-meta/42

i think it should consider the 1st post as description

when can we expect this extension?

Hari if you're willing to test drive this extension as soon as it's ready, please do get in touch with me on Discord. Those who provide adequate feedback during testing will get a discounted lifetime plan as a thank you. This offer is available to anyone under the following requirements.

Requirements:

register on Extiverse and verify email address
contributed in this discussion previously (yes I will confirm)
have a community that you want to test Meta on, it probably need some activity or a way for you to confirm whether the SEO logic works
the community has to run a queue; I cannot stress this enough! The database one (simplest) is sufficient (https://extiverse.com/extension/blomstra/database-queue)
provide feedback based on your experiences in this discussion; feedback needs to be structured properly. So
- Be thorough in reporting what went wrong or worked according to your expectations.
- In what situations things failed (provide a link if you can or send it privately on discord). Steps to reproduce would be bliss.
- Suggestions for improvements need to be linked to online articles with SEO recommendations. Meta aims to a high standard, let's not work based on assumptions but on expert know-how.

I have, in fact, been working on Meta during my Easter weekend.

luceos i am in, Do announce here once it's ready to test. 🕺

luceos

Hari Justoverclock thank you both, that is very kind. I need to finalize some logic to handle background job processing gracefully. I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

@luceos i can test it on flarum.it if you want

Hari

is this problem addressed? Fix meta Description SEO issue https://discuss.flarum.org/d/28602-fix-meta-description-seo-issue-solved

luceos

Hari yes, that's part of the extension.

Hari

luceos thanks for adding it. i think core should have that feature it is really a very basic feature.
i am not sure it is coming from flarum core or SEO extension.

huuduy216

What's the difference between this and SEO extension?

Hari

huuduy216 in simple words this for social media, when we share our flarum link in twitter and facebook we get those card images and description and tiitle in twitter na ... This extension renders it. Read first post.

huuduy216

Hari I do not use Twitter, but I think it already doing that for Facebook no?

Hari

huuduy216 every featured card on social media gets unique image with discussion title and other details

If this extension is out i am thinking Google will show discussion in daily feed. Google does shows few reddit discussions basing on our search history.

@luceos any idea when this extension will be available and what the cost is likely to be? Just curious.

luceos

ernestdefoe I had hoped to have finished it by now, but things never go as one hopes. It is very likely this extension will be made available for free, or at a very low fee for non-profits (similar to how Blomstra Realtime is priced).

ernestdefoe

luceos Well looks like it's gonna be a really great extension. I look forward to using it. It took me a bit to get Realtime working right but I finally did.

Amarok

Very good idea ! Hope we will have it soon 🙂

drmrgood

Is there any news about this, is this extension live?

ernestdefoe

drmrgood not yet. This might get put on hold until Flarum 2 comes out. Not really sure.
