whiskyechobravo / pelican-open_graph

A Pelican plugin to generate Open Graph Protocol tags for your content.

Open Graph

This plugin adds Open Graph Protocol tags to your articles.

Usage

To output the tags generated by this plugin, simply add this code in your base.html template:

{% if article %}
{% for tag in article.ogtags %}
<meta property="{{tag[0]}}" content="{{tag[1]|striptags|e}}" />
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}

{% if page  %}
{% for tag in page.ogtags %}
<meta property="{{tag[0]}}" content="{{tag[1]|striptags|e}}" />
{% endfor %}
{% endif %}

Metadata values are constructed from the SITENAME and SITEURL settings, from the article title, from the article slug, from the article category and from these standard metadata tags:

• date
• modified
• tags

The plugin also reads these metadata tags:

• og_image, an URL to an image that will represent your article;
• og_description, a short description of your article. If not provided, the description will be set to summary, which is often too long;
• og_locale, the locale of your article (e.g. 'fr_CA'). If not provided, the locale will be set to your Pelican settings LOCALE.

Additionally, the plugin reads article.related_posts to set og:see_also.
