Hello,

The K2 2.6.5 Open Graph Tag for Facebook is rendering a page url that is missing the first forward slash after the top level domain, creating an error in the Facebook Debugger. See below:

<meta property="og:url" content="www.domain.comrunning/articles/your-first-5K-race" />

Is there a bug in the view.html file that is causing this? Any other thoughts?

Thanks!

J-2.5.9
K2 - 2.6.5

Any thoughts on this issue? Can someone tell me where the og:url meta data is originating?

Thanks!

Hello Brian,

Are you using a 3rd party component or plugin?

I am saying this because OG is working fine on every J!2.5 K2 2.6.x sites I' ve checked,
you can also check the K2 Demo site for this.

And finally you should never hack the core, you can use the setMetaData() function instead.

Hi Krikor,

The only 3rd part component/module I'm using on the K2 items is JA Comment. I've tried disabling that component but didn't solve the problem.

I'm using JoomlArt JAT3 framework....is it possible that the framework is somehow removing the "/" ...or possibly anything in mod_rewrite or even on the server side?

Thank you!
Brian

Brian I think that might cause the issue, but I cannot help you with the T3 framework.

I dont' think that it has anything to do with your .htaccess.

If I were you I would ask the T3 developers in this one since it is most likely a template bug.

Krikor,

Thank you for your response. Interestingly, I disabled T3 framework, made Beez 2 the default template and disabled all other extensions, but the page source still shows <meta property="og:url" content="www.mysite.comfitness/articles/example" /> with no / after .com.

Can you tell me where line 459 $document->setMetaData('og:url', $uri->toString()); in the view.html file is actually retrieving the URL from? This might help me to track down the problem.

Thanks!

I think there might an error on your configuration.
$uri->toString() all it does is return the url you are currently viewing.

PS. backup and try 2.6.6 or the SVN version.

Hello Krikor,

I've had success with a temporary solution by editing the view.html file and changing:

$document->setMetaData('og:url', $uri->toString());

to

$document->setMetaData('og:url', JURI::current());

I don't think I will need the query or fragment parts of the URI. Do you see any other problems with using JURI::current()?

Thanks!
