Combined PlugIns messes up the page

Rafael,
That's a really, really bizarre problem that we haven't seen before. Just to clarify, the content is actually shown 3 times! The problem is how the Open Graph description and Twitter description tags are set on the page. If you search for og:description and twitter:description, you'll see that the content="..." property is basically the whole Joomla article.

Obviously, that's very, very incorrect.. but it's also something that I don't have a specific answer as to *why* it's happening right now. We'll be able to create a test article with exactly your contents and test to see if we can recreate the problem. In the meantime, can you let me know if you've created any objects in the JFBConnect -> Open Graph -> Objects area? If so, please try to disable those Objects so that you're using the standard JFBConnect defaults.

We'll let you know what we find, and please let me know if you have any objects enabled.

Thanks,
Alex

Ahhh.. that makes perfect sense. What's happening is:
1) You have an article. At the beginning, there's a macro AddFullArticleHere (I don't know what RokCandy macros look like, but you get the idea).
2) The Open Graph - Content plugin fetches the first 50 words from your article by default to use as the description
3) JFBConnect sets the og:description and twitter:description to be "AddFullArticleHere"
4) Later, the RokCandy Plugin scans the full output of the page and replaces all 3 of those macros with the full article (or whatever the macro is meant to do).

In this case, JFBConnect is doing what it's supposed to and RokCandy is as well. They're just doing it out of order since RokCandy should replace its stuff first.

Your fix of using the {SCOpenGraph description=...} tag is excellent as JFBConnect will always use the tags over what we automatically generate. If you're going to the effort to create a custom tag, it's an obvious assumption that it's better.

The other options to try is to order the RokCandy System plugin to be *before* the JFBCSystem plugin. That may make the replacements it does happen before our Open Graph plugin tries to scan the article. However, there's many places that each plugin can do it's replacements, so that may not help.

Beyond that, let me know what the macro your using looks like. We may be able to help you update the Open Graph plugin to 'skip' that macro. In that case though, the description tag still won't use what happens after the macro is replaced, since the article contents won't be on the page by the time we try to read it.

I hope that helps,
Alex

Rafael,
Awesome! So glad to hear the suggestions above fixed things for you. Conflicts can be tricky to debug in general. I'm sorry you've been seeing this issue for a while, but happy to hear it's hopefully over.

As for the actual macro, nah, we don't need that. The solution you have is the best. If we tried to have code to 'skip' the macro, it would cause other problems since your actual content wouldn't be on the page to scan. That was a worst-case solution, not a good long-term one.

Anyways, should you need anything else, just let us know.

Finally, if you haven't already, please consider leaving a rating and review for JFBConnect, or our support, on the Joomla Extension Directory. It certainly isn't required, but is very appreciated:
