Meta tags - Thread description - Search Engine and Facebook share
 
1 Attachment(s)
This simple trick allows you to change Thread's Meta tag from ForumHome Meta details to thread description.


Before :

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/07/77.jpg

After :
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/07/78.jpg

Instruction :

Edit facebook_opengraph in the template

Replace :
Code:
<vb:each from="opengrapharray" key="property" value="content"><meta property="{vb:raw property}" content="{vb:raw content}" />
</vb:each>
with

Code:
<vb:each from="opengrapharray" key="property" value="content"><meta property="{vb:raw $threadinfo['description']}" content="{vb:raw content}" />
</vb:each>
That's all.

Now when you share in facebook, you will see the Thread desc as the meta tag.


Disclaimer :
  • I tried changing many codes in Template and finally succeeded. So I am not responsible if there is any problem.
  • Length of Meta Keyword/description may be greater than 200 words.

P.S :
Facebook caches the meta title and desc. when you try to share any link. In that case, you won't see any new meta details. So add ?v=1 or &p=19 [something like that]
eg. http://collegers.net/showthread.php?...enter-HOAX?v=1

Otherwise check the meta details using
http://www.seocentro.com/tools/searc...-analyzer.html

**If you are using vbSEO , this Mod is not necessary :)

To display the necessary image(thumbnail) from First post , you need to click the Arrow.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/07/54.jpg

(Sometimes, FB may not load images. )

8thos 07-22-2011 05:18 PM
Not working for me but thanks anyway.

Krusty1231 07-22-2011 08:53 PM
Prior to installing this when I posted an article to Facebook only my header and my footer appeared as image options on FB.

The information in the article was not an option, as again only my site info was appearing on FB.

After installing this ALL images on the article page where given as an option to choose from, not just the header and footer.

About 90% of my sites images are hosted at Photobucket - and easily link to FB using this mod.

I love it. Works great for me!

Thanks again!

@CouponWcents: can u post ur forum url ??

CouponWCents 08-13-2011 04:31 PM
<a href="http://www.couponwithcents.com" target="_blank">www.couponwithcents.com</a>

sivaganeshk 08-13-2011 05:14 PM
@CouponWC :
I checked the Meta tag using seocentro .
See the result.
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2011/08/37.jpg
which means Meta tag description has been included from the Thread.

If there is any custom modification , check them.
Also check the URL structure.

sivaganeshk 08-13-2011 05:17 PM
@bosanci : Are you sure, you replaced the code in the correct template ??

CouponWCents 08-13-2011 06:21 PM
How would I check if there is any custom modification? Thanks so much for your help! :)

sivaganeshk 08-13-2011 06:42 PM
@CWC : Did you check the Friendly URL settings ?

to compare,because maybe there is a error some where and maybe thats why is not working right,


thank you,

edit : disabled all my plugins and still no working... even on default theme or the main one i use..

sivaganeshk 08-16-2011 12:03 PM
@Bosanci :
Go to "Search in Template"
Select the style,
type headinclude ,
Choose Yes in Title only
and click FIND

check whether the following code is available or not:
Code:
<vb:if condition="$show['fb_opengraph']">
        {vb:raw facebook_opengraph}
</vb:if>
P.S : Sorry for the delay. Suffering from viral fever :(

bosanci28 08-16-2011 01:21 PM
yes,i do have that! line.

and hope you will get better soon!
