meta tags not working

[katat]

The following meta tags don't seem to work. They don't show up as meta tags in the HTML header section. Any ideas of what went wrong in my settings?

dg-meta-tags:
 "description": "a description"
 "og:image": "https://obsidian-digital-garden-front.vercel.app/img/user/tumblr_pep7kan09p1qbgdnxo1_1280.png"

I have had the same problem. I looked through the repo to see where it would write "meta" in the html markdown but don't see where it would do this, just how it would parse meta tags.

Same here. Thanks!

Oh my goodness!!! dg-metatags works!!! metatags metatags metatags (no hyphen)

I guess this issue can be closed once the official doc is modified to correspond the working frontmatter tag.

By the way, a great "default" og:image method to check out: topobon/002-og-image.njk at main · uroybd/topobon · GitHub

Put the default cover photo in src/site/img.

Thanks for figuring this oh, how did you know?

I had looked at the code and saw the loop for in metatags, but I didn't make the connection to 'dg-metatags'. I guess I was reading the code wrong.

[GJRobert]

I have to thank @topobon , for in his topobon/002-og-image.njk at main · uroybd/topobon · GitHub he had written metatags, so I made a guess that perhaps @oleeskild put a redundant hyphen in the document. Luckily, we got out of the issue 🙂

[timfong888]

I added the front matter and not getting the meta tags to work.

my site

[timfong888]

Oh we add that .njk file to have a default image? That's not existing in the original code?

Btw, what does it mean 'if metatags' if the yank is dg-metatags?

[oleeskild]

Well, now I feel dumb 😅 ! Sorry for not spotting this and causing the confusion. You are correct @GJRobert, it is "dg-metatags", not "dg-meta-tags". The docs were wrong, I've updated them now. I should have caught this much earlier, but I'm a bit overwhelmed with the number of open issues, so things are moving a bit slow. Thank you for sharing the solution!

@timfong888 Can you send a screenshot or a of the note you are using, that doesn't work?

@oleeskild

[GJRobert]

@timfong888 How many spaces do you have before "description" and "og:image"? @oleeskild has said that only one space works.

[timfong888]

I only have one space (not tab)....

There is indeed no og:image <meta> tag in your generated HTML codes. Weird. How about try real image value in your og:image metadata? (I've found that quotes are not necessary)

[GJRobert]

By the way, just don't use that 002-og-image.njk yet, because I was just thanking for giving me inspiration about the correct spelling as metatags. Please make sure you take that .njk file down for now, until your first problem is solved.

[timfong888]

Thanks, I think it works now: https://essays.fong888.com/the-graph-indexer/

Will keep playing but we're getting closer!

Great to hear that @timfong888

[GJRobert]

I guess this can be closed @oleeskild Digital Garden is easy to use and I like it :) Thank you.
