RedInk Design - Smart OG Image Tag · **Released**: 12-09-2012

Currently vBulletin's facebook open graph image tag uses what's entered in Options -> Facebook Options -> Image URL. If you leave this field blank, the <og:image> meta tag is omitted and Facebook's crawler will try to use any image found on the page.

This mod looks for the first [img] or [attach] tags in a post and uses that image for the <og:image> meta tag. This will tell facebook's crawler to use that image for the post.

This mod requires the Facebook Platform to be enabled on vBulletin (Options -> Facebook Options -> Enable Facebook Platform).

It will first look for an [img] tag is the post, if none is found, it will look for an [attach] tag. If neither is found, it will use the Image you entered in the facebook options (Options -> Facebook Options -> Image URL). If that field was left empty, it will omit the <og:image> tag which is default vBulletin behavior.

This was only tested on 4.2.0 (PL3).

Installation:
Admin -> Plugin & Products -> Manage Products -> Add/Import Product

Update 12/4/2013
Changed image priorities - avatar and site logo are not priority

Update 11/19/2013
Plugin updated to support multiple images

had to change this line

Code:

$og_array['og:image'] = 'https://' . $img_str;

So this only works for posts?

What about threads, showdisplay and forumhome?

Thanks!

This is just an extension of the default vBulletin behavior.

Why does this require the facebook platform to be enabled?

Because og tags are not inserted on vbulletin without the fb platform enabled.

Why is everyone asking if the Facebook Platform has to be enabled? If you have Facebook Connect wouldn't you need it enabled anyway?

I have a problem when using this Mod. When share a thread to Facebook, It does not show the thread tittle but the site name.

This mod does not alter existing OG tags, only the <og:image> tag. The issue you're having is with the default vBulletin tags.
