Getting Open Graph plugin to work with external URLs

On our site, we serve all our images via Amazon S3, including featured article images. The Phoca OG plugin was automatically adding the http:// etc to those URLs, causing them to break. I was able to fix it by modifying the plugin to check the URLs for an existing scheme and only attaching the base URL if not present.
I would love to contribute this code back to the project, if there's a place where I can do that. Thanks!

Hi, there is no answer from the users, so I don't know.
Which version of the Open Graph do you use? If you use version 3.0.5, try to modify this line:
cca 193
FROM:
Code: Select all
plgContentPhocaOpenGraphHelper::renderTag('og:image', JURI::base(false).$src[1], $type);
TO:
Code: Select all
$absU = 0;
// Test if this link is absolute http:// then do not change it
$pos1 = strpos($src[1], 'http://');
if ($pos1 === false) {
} else {
$absU = 1;
}
// Test if this link is absolute https:// then do not change it
$pos2 = strpos($src[1], 'https://');
if ($pos2 === false) {
} else {
$absU = 1;
}
if ($absU == 1) {
$linkImg = $src[1];
} else {
$linkImg = JURI::base(false).$src[1];
}
plgContentPhocaOpenGraphHelper::renderTag('og:image', $linkImg, $type);
And let me know it this work.
Thank you, Jan

Hello,
Thank you.
I have changed in
http://www.gimpons.net. You can look in the differents pages.
It seems to work but no "og:image" in the first page : why ?

Is the first page "com_content" - article?
Phoca Open Graph plugin works only in articles, If you need to display the meta tags on other parts of the site, try to use:
