Featured image in Blog

[jdloudon]

I am looking forward to finally getting this up and running on a couple of our sites. At the moment I have difficulty in understanding how to deploy the code on the blog page to make it happen.
Your example blog page in the template is the same as I have on my site. Does this need to change?
I have a post called Penguin! and here is the data from that page:

<!-- Facebook -->
<meta property="fb:admins" content="" />

Note that nowhere is the image or the post title picked up.
If I try to share this post from social media buttons here is what happens:

Facebook: it shares picture, but no post title or URL, just the root blog
Linkedin: it generates an error page in Linkedin
Twitter: shares post title of Penguin but no URL or picture
Pinterest: shares name only of blog post but nothing else

What needs to happen to make this work?

• What is the full OGP data of the “Penguin” page?
• Is this an individual blog post?

I have just done a fresh install, and haven’t changed anything, but get this kind of OGP data for the “blog-5-A-Very-Nice-Blog-Post” blog post:

<!-- Facebook -->
	<meta property="fb:admins" content="" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="" />

<!-- Open Graph meta data -->
<meta property="og:title"       content="The blog title" />
<meta property="og:type"        content="article" />
<meta property="og:url"         content="http://localhost:8888/pulsecms5-test2/blog-5-A-Very-Nice-Blog-Post" />
<meta property="og:description" content="" />
<meta property="og:site_name"   content="Pulse CMS 5.3.3" />

<meta property="og:image"    content="http://localhost:8888/pulsecms5-test2/content/media/featured_images/5.jpg" />
<meta name="og:image:width"  content="1200" />
<meta name="og:image:height" content="800" />

<!-- Schema.org meta data -->
<meta itemprop="name"    content="The blog title" />
<meta name="description" content="" />

<meta property="image"       content="http://localhost:8888/pulsecms5-test2/content/media/featured_images/5.jpg" />
<meta name="og:image:width"  content="1200" />
<meta name="og:image:height" content="800" />

<link rel="canonical" href="http://localhost:8888/pulsecms5-test2/blog-5-A-Very-Nice-Blog-Post" />

That looks similar to what I have on this page:
http://www.laluz.me/news-20190319130140006-Penguin

I note that you are using 5.3.3

If you share that post what image do you get?

[pulsecms]

The image isn't showing the image from featured image but rather the pulse banner... the "OGP default image" in settings

When I share I get "content/media/featured_images/5.jpg" which is auto detecting.

We need to do more testing on this to find out why yours is not being populated with your Penguin content image.

[jdloudon]

I have deleted the default OGP image path in settings and its still showing the Pulse logo when I share. Maybe its a cache thing - dunno. I have deleted the content of pulsecore/storage/cache/84600 but it doesnt help.

[pulsecms]

Thanks - we'll do more testing on this and see if it's cache related or something else.

Pulse 5.3.3 will have an improvement for this:

• Featured image in Blog with social share - improvement to only show image OGP meta tags if there is a featured image or image within a blog post

Thanks!
