Generate og:image:width and og:image:height about contao-social_images HOT 11 CLOSED

Implemented in d177f82 but this can produce unexpected results because of contao/core-bundle#1214.

Note: I realize your extension allows for more than one og:image to be present for legacy reasons. May be this feature should be dropped? I don't think there is any reason anymore to have more than one og:image defined.

I think it's mostly there to give the user a choice which image he would like to use. Would it harm if we add og:image:width and og:image:height to all images?

Well, where can you do that? Facebook for instance does not offer to switch through multiple share images, when sharing a post.

I suppose not - though it would generate a lot of additional markup. Also, how would you be able to identify which og:image:width belongs to which og:image?

This must have changed because at the time I developed this extension it was possible. Or was it another service... 🤔

Just like a regular array: http://ogp.me/#array

Yeah, it was possible in the past. That's why I said "for legacy reasons" ;)

I would preserve the multiple selection of images as the OpenGraph protocol is not a Facebook protocol and other services are potentially making use of those arrays. Agreed?

from contao-social_images.

Agreed.

Yeah, see the comments though: you should just combine each og:image/og:image:width/og:image:height combo into one string.

The 3223cd7 should do then.

Just bumped into this thread because I was looking for a way to add og:image:width and og:image:height to my page templates in Contao. Anyway, just for the record: It is still (or again?) possible to switch through and select from multiple ogimage files when sharing a URL on Facebook.

from contao-social_images.

Yeah, I also noticed that this feature has returned on Facebook.
