Set avatar as image_src meta tag for proper bookmarking

[nam]

For proper bookmarking of any page on Facebook three meta tags are suggested by FB, "title", "description" and "image_src".

I did two of them but have problem with the 3rd one.

I want to set avatar of any story as image_src. It should look like this:

Code: Select all

<link rel="image_src" href="http://......./image.jpg" />

What I want:

Code: Select all

<link rel="image_src" href="
   <?php
    if [avatar] exists
              insert full link to avatar.
    else
            set news.gif;
    ?>
/>

Can anyone give me the proper code based on the above pseudocode?

In inc/show.news.php find this:

Code: Select all

$output = str_replace('{avatar-url}', $row['avatar'], $output);

and add below:

Code: Select all

$output = str_replace('{image-src}', '<link rel="image_src" href="'.($row['avatar'] != '' ? $row['avatar'] : 'news.gif').'" />', $output);

Now you should be able to use {image-src} in your template.

Thanks for great help, but I should insert it in the HEAD of the document, which is outside of the templete area. Can you write me how can I insert it in the PHP file directly.

You could create a template which has nothing but {image-src} and use an include to display it in the title...

You'd have to set the ID and stuff so that it displays it on the page as well I guess.
