EW 1.8B12 : Bug in OG:URL ?



User: Peter B. 11 years ago
Hi,

First off, great to see the development still going strong Paul !

Nice to see the page info is used to fill the OG: data but there's a glitch in there.

When I look at the source of the page it fills all the essential info except the OG;URL

It creates : <meta property="og:url" content="http:////index.html" />

Whereas the should have been

<meta property="og:url" content="http:/www.website.ext/index.html" />

Minor bug I guess but it will invalidate the usage of these on Social Media.

Another important OG to add is this one.:

<meta property="og:type" content="website" />

This tells the Social Media that the content referred to is a website.
User: Peter B. 11 years ago
I am also missing : OG:Keywords which helps Social Media to show your links/ site/whatever when certain keywords are matched.
Maybe add a box to add these ?

HI Peter,

Thanks for the feedback. I suspect you published to a folder or as a preview. When you publish online, the proper URL will be used.

I'll look into the other tags as well.

Euhm, no paul this is actually ONLINE. Have a look at the source code yourself at www.rgblaserbv.nl/index.html

Grtz,

Paul, I checked various other websites which are uploaded to an FTP server.

They all have the same source code issues.

This is from a different website:

<meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html;charset=UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=924" />
<meta name="description" content="" />
<meta name="generator" content="EverWeb 1.8b12 (1369)" />
<meta name="buildDate" content="vrijdag 3 april 2015" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http:////contact.html" />

Same issues.

What do you have entered in the URL field under you publishing settings?

Hi Paul,

I have www.rgblaserbv.nl in that box.

Maybe the bug is language related as I use the Dutch translation ??
User: Paul-RAGESW 11 years ago
Hi Peter,

Does it work if you enter your URL with;

http://

In that field?

Hey Paul,

I double checked the field. It was already http://www.rgblaserbv.nl/ so no change there.

See...

<meta name="generator" content="EverWeb 1.8b12 (1369)" />
<meta name="buildDate" content="zaterdag 4 april 2015" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http:////index.html" />

I also noticed that the <meta property="og:url" content="http:////index.html" /> has 4 forward slashes after the http: ...so even if http:// was correct, there remain two extra // somehow.

Can't you just use a global variable like '%WebUrl%, fill that from the Website URL field and just refer to "http://"%WebURL%/%PagePath%/%PageName% ??

We do this, I just don't know why it's not working for your project.

I'll need you to send me your website project file then so I can take a look.

In the Projects window in EverWeb, click the arrow on the right next to your website and select the 'Show On Disk' option.

**DO NOT move this file from this location on your computer**

Please compress the project file before sending it to me by right clicking on it and selecting Compress. You can upload it at http://ge.tt or http://www.dropbox.com and send the link to me.

Make sure to reference this thread the problem you are experiencing when you send your email.

You are publishing directly with EverWeb right? You Aren't using a third party FTP client?

Paul, that field automatically corrects any www.someting.ext to http://www.something.ext

Nope, all directly from EW, no other tools are used.
