Open Graph

Descrizione

The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. Most notably, this allows for these pages to be used with Facebook’s Share Button and Graph API as well as within Twitter posts.

Il plugin Open Graph inserisce i metadati Open Graph negli articoli e nelle pagine di WordPress e fornisce un semplice meccanismo di estensione per altri plugin e temi per sovrascrivere questi dati, o per fornire ulteriori dati Open Graph.

This plugin does not directly add social plugins like the Facebook Share Button to your pages (though they’re pretty simple to add). It will however make your pages look great when shared using those kinds of tools.

FAQ

Come faccio a configurare il plugin Open Graph?

Non lo fai; non c’è nulla da configurare e non c’è una pagina di amministrazione. Per impostazione predefinita userà qualsiasi dato standard di WordPress per popolare i dati di Open Graph. Ci sono dei filtri molto semplici ma potenti che puoi usare per modificare o estendere i metadati restituiti dal plugin, descritti di seguito.

Come faccio ad estendere il plugin Open Graph?

There are two main ways to provide Open Graph metadata from your plugin or theme. First, you can implement the filter for a specific property. These filters are of the form opengraph_{name} where {name} is the unqualified Open Graph property name. For example, if you have a plugin that defines a custom post type named “movie”, you could override the Open Graph type property for those posts using a function like:

function my_og_type( $type ) {
    if ( get_post_type() == "movie" ) {
        $type = "movie";
    }
    return $type;
}
add_filter( 'opengraph_type', 'my_og_type' );

This will work for all of the core Open Graph properties. However, if you want to add a custom property, such as fb:admins, then you would need to hook into the opengraph_metadata filter. This filter is passed an associative array, whose keys are the qualified Open Graph property names. For example:

function my_og_metadata( $metadata ) {
    $metadata['fb:admins'] = '12345,67890';
    return $metadata;
}
add_filter( 'opengraph_metadata', 'my_og_metadata' );

Nota che potresti aver bisogno di definire il prefisso RDFa per le tue proprietà. Usa il filtro opengraph_prefixes.

How does the plugin choose the images?

The plugin uses the featured image first, then the images in the post content, then the images attached to the post. If there is no image at all, it uses the site icon, the custom logo or the header image.

By default the plugin adds up to 3 images. You can change that by adding the following line to your wp-config.php

define( 'OPENGRAPH_MAX_IMAGES', 1 );

or with the opengraph_max_images filter. To add or remove image sources, use the opengraph_image_sources filter. Each source is a callable that gets the post ID and returns attachment IDs:

function my_og_image_sources( $sources ) {
    // Only use the featured image.
    return array( 'opengraph_thumbnail_image_ids' );
}
add_filter( 'opengraph_image_sources', 'my_og_image_sources' );

Does it work with Jetpack?

Yes. Jetpack also adds Open Graph metadata, so the plugin disables the Jetpack output to avoid duplicate tags. To get the Jetpack output back, deactivate this plugin.

Come abitare/disabilitare la “modalità rigorosa”

The plugin populates the meta ‘name’ attribute alongside the ‘property’ attribute by default. Because both, the og:* and twitter:* names, are actually registered at https://wiki.whatwg.org/wiki/MetaExtensions, this stays compliant with the HTML5 spec. If you want to use a more strict way anyways, you can enable the strict mode by adding the following line to your wp-config.php

define( 'OPENGRAPH_STRICT_MODE', true );

Wow thank you for making this plugin!!! I was so stressed about thumbnails errors but now I don't need to worry about it! Thanks!

Great plug-in! I just installed it last night and now the og:image (large image preview) is looking correct on my posts when shared to Facebook. I normally don't leave reviews but noticed this plug-in had very few. It worked like a charm on my website to show the big preview when others (including some well known ones) wouldn't. I was getting frustrated and wasting time googling plug-ins that didn't work on my site for some reason. Finally this one worked! It does what it says, and is very simple to use, no configuration needed.
