Post preview on Linkedin (feature request or guidance request) #45

Closed ticofab closed 4 years ago

ticofab commented 4 years ago

Hey @PippoRJ , a while ago you made some changes that let the post preview show up on twitter and that was awesome. Now I have tried to share something on LinkedIn but it didn't have the same card preview effect.

Would it be a lot of work to make it Linkedin-compatible too? I would like to help, with some guidance from your side.

Hey @ticofab I believed it was already possible to share a page with the correct preview on linkedin. I had a look at the requisites to have here: https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/46687/making-your-website-shareable-on-linkedin?lang=en&src=aff-lilpar&veh=aff_src.aff-lilpar_c.partners_pkw.123201_plc.adgoal%20GmbH_pcrid.449670_learning&trk=aff_src.aff-lilpar_c.partners_pkw.123201_plc.adgoal%20GmbH_pcrid.449670_learning&clickid=TanQ9oycWxyOWH6wUx0Mo3EWUkiXfyx%3AmS3HVE0&irgwc=1

The page to be shared needs to have the tags og:title, og:image, og:description and og:url. All these tags are defined in the theme page layouts/partials/meta.html.

I also found post inspector tool from linkedin to see how a page will look like once shared: https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/inspect/https:%2F%2Frjordaney.is%2Fcode_exercises%2Fbuilding_houses%2F (With one of my pages it seems to render correctly.)

Maybe you can share your page that seems to have this sharing problem.

@PippoRJ I am sorry, it was my bad indeed. It works perfectly on LinkedIn too and thanks for the post inspector tip. Awesome! Thanks for taking the time to look into all this so thoroughly. Do you have a GitHub Sponsor profile?

@ticofab I don't have a GitHub Sponsor profile yet... I didn't know it was a thing to be honest 😄 😄 I submit the application now but it will take 2 week to be approved they say.
