ogtype meta was created by evil
hi alzander,
i wish to know if with the latest version is it possible to set as ogtype of the homepage a value and another for all other pages.
Websites
•	blog
•	website
•	article
Use article for any URL that represents transient content - such as a news article, blog post, photo, video, etc. Do not use website for this purpose. website and blog are designed to represent an entire site, an og:type tag with types website or blog should usually only appear on the root of a domain.
If your object does not fit into one of the types above, you can specify your own type. This will be represented as type other on Facebook. We will monitor the most commonly used types and graduate them to fully supported og:types. If you are specifying your own type we recommend that you use your own namespace. For example if you are moviesite.com, and you want to mark a URL on your site as a director you would do:

so i need "website" for the home page and "article" for all the other pages.
is it possible? actually i have the v 3.4 and is not possible.
thank you

In the 3.4 version (or any version), you should be able to do that. Simply create a "Custom HTML" module. Have it set to display on the homepage and turn off the title. In the text area, just specify:
{JFBCGraph type=webpage}

Then, in the Open Graph defaults area, set:
type=article

That should work, but if not, let us know.

4.0 is out now and has some good improvements, but if you're happy with 3.4, keep going with it :) 4.0 did implement the new authentication scheme originally required by Facebook on October 1st. Since then, they pushed the date back till later this year (still not specified exactly when).

Good luck,
Alex

meta property="fb:page_id" content="xxxxxxxxxxxx"
?

Yes, it should be website. I mis-typed.

As for page_id, that won't work with the {JFBCGraph ..} tags, as we currently only put fb: in front of app_id and admins. In front of all other tags, we put og:.

What is the page_id for? It's not in the Open Graph description page.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi Alex,
"fb:page_id" tag can be used in "fb:admin" place to declare all admins of a fanpage. So you won't need to add user id manually.

do you think it is possible to make the official joomla contact component work with these new OG tags?
<html xmlns:og="ogp.me/ns#">
<head>
...
[REQUIRED TAGS]
<meta property="og:email" content="[email protected]"/>
<meta property="og:phone_number" content="650-123-4567"/>
<meta property="og:fax_number" content="+1-415-123-4567"/>
...
</head>

hey alex, i just noticed that if not specified, your component uses <meta content="webpage" property="og:type"> as default.

could you check please if you can notice this behaviour on your side too?

Yes, that is the expected behavior in all current releases right now. That note was added to the Open Graph area after we had implemented that behavior, but we have a note to change it in the next release. We haven't seen any ill-effects from it, but obviously, it's not what Facebook recommends.. so, in 4.1, we'll be setting the type=webpage on the home page (as indicated by the menu item) and article on all other pages.

Hope that explains,
Alex
