SEO Lite template (specified in Addons -> Modules -> SEO Lite)

<title>{title}{site_name}</title>
<meta name='keywords' content='{meta_keywords}' />
<meta name='description' content='{meta_description}' />
<link rel='canonical' href='{canonical_url}' />
<meta property="og:url" content="{canonical_url}"/>
<meta property="og:title" content="{entry_title}"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="{extra:desc}"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="{extra:image}"/>

@nielbradley - yes, you can use conditionals like this:

{if '{extra:image}' != ''}
<meta property="og:image" content="{extra:image}"/>
{if:else}
<meta property="og:image" content="{site_url}static/img/lyse-logo.png"/>
{/if}

just found this add on , solves 95% of a major problem I was having with EE. Question though - How do I pull the title tag in to use for facebook og ?

This is the what I have in my templates, right before the -

{exp:seo_lite use_last_segment="y"
title_postfix='{embed:title_postfix}'
default_title='{embed:default_title}'
default_keywords='{embed:default_keywords}'
default_description='{embed:default_description}'
}

also do you have a suggestion for forcing the dynamic image for that posting?

thanks in advance

How can I get SEO Lite to work with categories landing pages to have title/keywords/descriptions based on each category?

Added support for photo_frame in extra_fields;

        '10' => array(                               // news EN
            'desc' => array(
                'field_id' => 3,
                'field_type' => 'text',
            ),
            'image' => array(
                'field_id' => 77,                    // Large top image
                'field_type' => 'photo_frame',
            )
        ),

Bjorn,
Should the
<meta property="og:image" content="{extra:image}"/>
be pulling in the full image path as I'm just getting the file name pulled in.
<meta property="og:image" content="puntillitas.JPG”/>
This causes facebook to give a og:image error when 'liked'.

This might be associated with also using ce:image which is renaming the associated image

/images/made/images/menu/puntillitas_450_450.JPG
Is there any way of getting the full image path into the og:image field?

Hi, CE Img is just a fronend tag AFAIK and shouldn't affect the info given by the field, which Field are you using for the image? Also, make sure you're on the latest SEO Lite.

Updating from seo lite 1.4.7 to 1.4.9.3 fixed the issue with the full path to the image.
Was using assets file type if this is of help to anyone else.
Thanks Bjorn.

Hi Bjorn, where do I have to put the config.local.php file? Thanks

@bjornbjorn going over old ground here perhaps but I'm seeing the same thing attempting to pull through the full path to an Assets image where it just pulls out image.jpg as an example.

This makes sense though because field_id_x assigned in the config only has image.jpg as the example. I guess I could update the path within the template and restrict the upload directory but would be cool to be able to pull from where ever I want.

Can you use this plugin on EE version 2.6.1?
