Introduction

Twitter display, Open Graph, SEO & Metadata, Social Share

Social Media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, Linked, etc. are ideal showcases for your content.
But how do they determine what text and images to show when somebody shares your content?


Joomla! 4.1 ready!

Facebook introduced the Open Graph Protocol. With this protocol meta-tags are added in your blog / article source code. These meta-tags tell Facebook what the article is about, which image to use, which url, who is the author, etc. This information is then used to display your article on the Facebook platform.
Linkedin, Google+ have adopted this protocol as well. Twitter introduced its own 'protocol': TwitterCards.

This content plugin helps you make the most of your content on these Social Media platforms by automagically implementing the OpenGraph protocol and TwitterCards into your:
- [J3 + J4] Joomla! articles,
- [J3] jDownloads,
- [J3] JCal Pro (Events),
- [J3] K2 Items,
- [J3] Easyblog Entry pages,
- [J3] FocalPoint Location maps,
- [J3] ochGotNews news items,
- [J3] and (new in version 0.3.2) YooTheme Zoo blogs / pages!

New: Version 1.8.0 has support for Econa Custom image Fields

You can add Twitter Cards and OpenGraph protocol to any page manually via a Joomla! Custom HTML module!

"Thank you so much for everything. Just great. If this plugin was good before, now it's amazing. This plugin is now more complete and has all the requirements that any website needs to go further in social networks. The possibilities this plugin offers is unmatched by any other in the market for Joomla components. There is no other, because I have seen them all, bought some and otherwise I have asked and their developers simply tell me: you can not do this, you can not do that, no it's not possible. But ochOpenGraph does everything a site needs to really stand out on the web" - 0.3.0 Tester

Now you decide which image to use, what description and title to share. If the resolution of the image is not good enough to be used on e.g. Facebook or twitter? No worries, the image quality is validated and when insufficient you can use a configured fallback image. You can even select a custom image per article (other image then the image in your article) and use that. This way you can share a professional image on e.g. Facebook with the title and or author avatar in the image: this will not show in your article but only on the Social Media platforms... You can configure to use the custom image for all authors or only a select group (acl) of authors: How cool is that!

"Thanks for making easily the best and most feature rich Open Graph plugin for Joomla!" - Daclina

Time to take control again over how your content looks on Social Media Platforms!

I have tested tons of plugins, and och open graph is the only one to be able to grab our illustration picture in a semi complex environment.
Ease of use
in the best case just install, enable, and you got it, btw there is tons of options to be sure to get your illustration picture.
Support
All worked like a charm with possible option, but we get an issue on facebook opengraph, and the dev. kindly help us to correct the issue.
Documentation
All the documentation is on the web site (and on the plug in page) and the user forum has additional information. Where you can request support.
Value for money
The price is just incredible for a so advanced plugin. (take a look to it and you will understood what I want to said).
I used this to: The social media of our blog, and you know how its important to get an illustration picture on social media post, or no-body will click on the article.
Functionality
Once I installed it, it worked right away. I chose to add functionality by using the custom field options available so my client could mange
Ease of use
I installed this and enabled it. There is some configuration to work as I needed it to for my client, but it was simple to do.
Support
All the information is available on the developer website. I have asked for support from this developer before and know it is good.
Documentation
All the documentation is on the web site and the user forum has additional information. I always like the opportunity to review a forum.
Value for money
wow, very affordable. I actually don't know how they can offer such a low price.
I used this to: This allows my client to add custom open graph data from the web site front end when they are creating or editing articles.
Functionality
There is a lot of adjustment possibilities

Functionality
Does exactly what it's supposed to do, both out of the box and with custom image solution.
Ease of use
Very intuitive and the developer has put "hover descriptions" everywhere which is great.
Support
Super fast (within minutes) and very friendly even on a Friday night.
Documentation
Excellent documentation! Everything is well organized and easy to find.
Value for money
It feels like a bargain. I'm very pleased with the price I paid.
I used this to: For my website and my mother's website. It works well with our templates (yootheme pro) which is not the case for some other OG extensions I've tried.
Functionality
Pretty straight forward, not much is needed to know assuming you feel at home in Joomla administration.
Ease of use
Once the plugin is setup, the ease of use is a no brainer.
Support
Even during the weekend the developer was kindly offering support, very responsively until the issue was resolved.
Documentation
Value for money
Well worth the investment + we need to support good developers to keep their interest doing good work.
Functionality
If you want to post your joomla articles on social media, give that extension a chance. it saves lots of time...
Ease of use
You need a little bit concentration to configure the extension, but I was successful ;-) I tried other extensions but I allways capitulate
Support
again the same as in my other reviews: Ruud is realy helpful and engaged for a fast solution in any case of an error
Documentation
the documentation could be a little bit more hands on for realy newbees, but in fact all is described...
Value for money
buy publishing some joomla articles to you social media accounts, the software pays for itself by saving time

Perfect in many ways
