Facebook Opengraph tagging
To make posts display well when sharing on Facebook, it makes sense to set up OG tags. I know what to add... probably best done using the Header Injection, but I can't find a list of tags I can insert. I assume there are some, somewhere? Assuming someone can tell me where the tags are, here's how to inject OpenGraph tags... (Remove the preceding asterisks... I put them in to help Una accept the example)
*<meta property="og:url" content="???" />
*<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
*<meta property="og:title" content="???" />
*<meta property="og:description" content="???" />
*<meta property="og:image" content="???.jpg" />
Can anyone point me to a list of Dynamic variables I can replace the question marks with that I can use?

Hello mydpr !
Every content unit has the variables like {title}, {id}, {author}. Other points depend from the app. So where you want to add these meta tags?
-
Thanks. Is there a way to fing the fields by app?
These tags are similar to the Twittercards (which also need work). They generally go in the header area of pages... any page that you want crawlable or that you want people to propogate should have them.

UNA has the automatic insertion of the meta-info from the fields to the header. Seems in your request it will require some customizations with the class from /inc/classes/BxDolMetatags.php https://github.com/unaio/una/blob/master/inc/classes/BxDolMetatags.php If you know PHP and MySQL you may review the work of this class and how it works with the apps via table `sys_objects_metatags` (see the examples from GitHub)

LeonidS, there needs to be a way to add a meta image to the Home page, so if someone shares the site's URL a predefined image shows on the various social sites (Twitter, LinkedIn, etc). This seems to be one area that is missing an og:image meta tag. The Discussions and Blog Posts work fine, but not the Home page.

I'm missing this also for the homepage. Sharing the site with the profile pic of users is not so nice...

Thank you for pointing this out hollosch it looks like we missed og:image in profile modules:

I am missing and extra image in the designer, name large image, that can be used my e.g. twitter when sharing:
"card": "summary_large_image"
As it is right now, at least in Protean, it just takes the logo file and scales it up, which isn't pretty at all.
All the best
