OG:Tags for OS4Depot items
Just popping in

Hi,
Not sure which user is Björn Hagström, but have you considered using OG tags on each of the file pages within OS4Depot.

This way, each time someone shares a link to a file on OS4depot, social media sites will obtain the correct title/description/image for each upload.

Main reason for this, is that I'm looking into making a Facebook/twitter notifier for new OS4deposits.

Tell me how it works (technically) and I might consider it.

Very similar to meta tags, eg title / description etc, its just a way to make social platforms read the preferred data rather than guess it.

Here would an example

http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... y/benchmark/boingcube.lha

<meta property="og:url" content="http://os4depot.net/?function=showfil ... hmark/boingcube.lha" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:title" content="BoingCube" />
<meta property="og:description" content="A bouncing rotating boing cube" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://os4depot.net/filedata/snapshot/9645_1_snap.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://os4depot.net/filedata/snapshot/9645_2_snap.jpg" />

The og:url could be a canonical url if theres one avaiable

Depending on how the website is built, these would be simple database fields of the uploaded file, some like the image can be mocked up just by the upload file ID even it the image doesn't exist, so by default it would pull the first image on the page.

The description tag could hold more information like filesize, platform, date added, author etc

Twitter has there own set of similar tags

Found this page:

If I get really bored some day I might automate a tweet every time a file is published.
