Blog Excerpt in Meta Property og:description
I'm adding a Facebook "Like" button to my blog story page which uses the "post.html" template. Within the page <head> tags I'm including:
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php perch_blog_post_field(perch_get('s'), 'excerpt'); ?>" />
"excerpt" is included in my "Post.html" template as:
<perch:blog id="excerpt" label="Excerpt" type="textarea" editor="markitup" textile="true" order="1" size="s" suppress="true" order="3" />
I'm using perch_blog_post_field to include other meta properties such as og:title ('postTitle'), og:url ('postURL'), and og:image ('image'). All of these work correctly. But for some reason 'excerpt' does not output a value when I look at my page in Facebook's Open Graph Output Debugger. Am I missing something?
Thank you.
What appears in the meta tag if you view source? It might be upset if you have HTML tags e.g.
<p>hello</p>
in there.You could try something like:
Thank you Tom. Your solution worked perfectly!
