How to exclude the Open Graph Protocol tags ?

Hi,

When I look to the source code of my pages I see all the meta tags from OGP like <meta property="og:type"...>

I try to exclude all my categories from the social API template parameters but the tags still here.

What can I do ?

Hi,

Just try disabling all Facebook plugins in your site!

Hi,

Thanks for answer, you was right, my Facebook authentification plugin was enabled, so I disable it.

Here appears a problem I was unable to connect to my back end administration!!!

I was force to go to phpMyAdmin to check and my Joomla authentification was disabled.... So I put 1 as a value and everything is ok now, I can connect !!!

But the tags still here !!!!

Hi,

If you change your default template, does it still happen? If possible you can PM me your backend and FTP access then I can check further to advise you better.

Thanks,

Sorry I can't give you access, I test with an another template and there is no tags

JD

What is the template you are using?

I'm using myfolio:)

I tested with my installation but didn't see the same issue. I really need to check your site otherwise I can't help you further.

Thanks,

that's really weird I have me too a "basic" myfolio installation on local environment and I've just made the test with the same problem, even if the Facebook authentification plugin is disabled!

I have no idea, check my screenshot please

hi,

Is the screenshot from home page ?

Because for the home page, the tags are not present, but if you go to the typography page for example the tags are present.

Oh you should tell me that sooner I found the solution now.

- Open file: \templates\gk_myfolio\html\com_content\article\default.php

- Find this code:

Code: Select all

$doc->setMetaData( 'og:title', $og_title );
$doc->setMetaData( 'og:type', $og_type );
$doc->setMetaData( 'og:url', $og_url );
$doc->setMetaData( 'og:image', $og_image );
$doc->setMetaData( 'og:site_name', $og_site_name );
$doc->setMetaData( 'og:description', $og_desc );


- Comment it out:

Code: Select all

/*
$doc->setMetaData( 'og:title', $og_title );
$doc->setMetaData( 'og:type', $og_type );
$doc->setMetaData( 'og:url', $og_url );
$doc->setMetaData( 'og:image', $og_image );
$doc->setMetaData( 'og:site_name', $og_site_name );
$doc->setMetaData( 'og:description', $og_desc );
*/


Hi,

Thanks for your help

Don't you think it could be more easy if we have an option to disable this, in the template parameter for example ?

Maybe you can discuss about this with the GK developper.

But this is helpful for most sites. Because you wanted to get rid of that so I tried to find a solution for you, but I really don't know why you need to do that, as if those tags present in the code, they don't reflect to your site display but help Facebook to get right content for sharing feature.

BTW, you are most welcome
