Add option to use Open Graph (for better link previews in messaging apps / social media) #3

Closed pawroman closed 8 months ago

pawroman commented 3 years ago

Currently, the theme doesn't use Open Graph: https://ogp.me/

The theme should have an option to use Open Graph, to generate properties like title, url and description automatically.

This would allow to show better link previews when pasting links to apps like Slack etc.

I'd like to work on this task.

title, type, and url seems straightforward to have for all pages (home page, archive, posts).

But what about description? Should it be the the page.description from the frontmatter if set?

Another thing I'd like to have is the og:image. My idea for this one is to have a global option in the config.toml with a open_graph_default_image for all pages, and a possibility to overwrite it in the posts' frontmatter.

What do you think @pawroman?

The image could also default to the favicon, I think that's what the original Hugo theme did. How is this coming along by the way? Wouldn't mind helping if needed :)

Same!

I finally finished it :tada: At least I think so. Can you guys check-out/test my branch https://github.com/heitorPB/zola-theme-terminimal/tree/opengraph? That should add OpenGraph tags everywhere (and also fix Markdown in figures' captions as a bonus - see #51).
