Hi,
I am Werner van Schie, Support Manager from Bluedesk in the Netherlands. We stumbled upon an issue that might be solved with a small change. I feel I can easily share this with you and issue a simple not very technical feature request. I have done some searches on the forum, but couldn't find any duplicate/similar requests - so please find the "application" below.
Description of the problem: We have customers with news pages that want to share this on social media like LinkedIn en Facebook. When such a link is opened from LinkedIn (for example), it opens a parent page, not the page itself. This happens in only some installations, however it is causing a lot of frustration at the customer's end. Dynamicweb currently lacks the functionality to generate og: tags (Open Graph Protocol tags) on News-pages.
Feature request: LinkedIn recommends to include OGP-tags into the page source. By doing so, it is fed with the right meta data and it will show the correct page. So I am requesting to implement OGP for News Pages (NewsV2) (and probably CMS pages too however, thats beyond my scope). We'd like to see basic functionality (on News-detail level) to add the basic Open Graph Protocol tags for news (detail) pages. This will cause Dynamicweb to generate these tags as meta properties in the <head> section of NewsV2 news-detail pages. This way LinkedIn and other OGP-using social media platforms will always process the page the right way.
Side readings: Please check http://ogp.me and familiarize yourself a little bit. A simple implementation would do the trick.
I'd like to hear Dynamicweb's/developer's viewpoint on this and if it will be adopted as feature request. If so, how long the cycle will be until it can be found in the software.
