Integration with vBulletin - Nexia's OpenGraph Protocol Inserts

Add OpenGraph Metadata Details for each pages you browse on your site, so search engines and social networks like facebook are able to parse your pages more efficiently.

##############################################
# what is opengraph protocol:

The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. For instance, this is used on Facebook to allow any web page to have the same functionality as any other object on Facebook.


##############################################
# exemple of result on version 1.0.0. this piece of code is auto-inserted in the meta data of all your vBulletin pages to help facebook and other engines to recognise your content.

<meta property="og:site_name" content="Les Forums Smalah" />
<meta property="og:description" content="smalah, le r?seau social unique des grandes familles du Qu?bec" />
<meta property="og:title" content="La Smalah, une d?finition" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://smalah.com/showthread.php?9-La-Smalah-une-définition" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://smalah.com/_style_smalah/logosquare.jpg" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />

you can see the result on the screenshot... facebook is able to grab the proper information, even if you did not activate any facebook plugin... because opengraph is not only about facebook, it is also about Google and other search engines that now use this protocol... and many social networks!
