Optimize Facebook sharing #328

Closed TheGrandVizier closed 7 years ago

TheGrandVizier commented 7 years ago

Currently the facebook sharing of an item page shares an undesigned and unoptimized post which does not show anything or indicate anything about it's content using preview.

Add preview image
Add preview text / description

@daonb aren't we paying for a service in order to avoid just what @TheGrandVizier is describing?

OriHoch commented 7 years ago

@TheGrandVizier - please add some details:

be more specific what is wrong with current content
is it the same problem on all pages? only on specific pages?
what is the expected image/title/description for each page? (could be the same for all pages if you want, but need to define it)

@daonb ?

daonb commented 7 years ago

We are paying for prerender.io to do it. It seems to be working for me: In facebook I pasted the address of our paris page and that's what I got: sharing_paris

The problem exists only on test apparently. On prod, the sharing trools work correctly. On test, this is what happens: http://prntscr.com/en0jcq Top is test, bottom is prod.

That's because wqe don't pay prerender to prepare the pages on the test server.

Ok. Considering fixed.
