Is there a way to add an Open Graph image to pages?

I see some basic open graph and twitter card data, but there’s nothing that allows any control over the image. I’m guessing this feature just might not exist, but thought I’d check anyway.

Hello @jhawes

If you have the latest version of the forum installed, Asgaros Forum uses the first image inside the first post of a topic for its og:image-tags.

Hi @asgaros

I’m currently running 1.14.7, which I believe is the latest (no updates showing as available).

However, I’m not seeing any og:image-tags on my existing forum posts… example: https://www.uvminerals.org/forum/topic/mystery-sodalite-or/

I’m guessing maybe it only works for posts after the update.

Hello @jhawes

Currently the og:image-tags are only generated for images which are directly included inside the content of a post by using the image-button of the editor. Uploaded files are optional and access to it is also based on the settings so I didnt take them under consideration yet. I will check if I can include them for og:image-tags in a future update.

Ah, I get it… that makes sense too. I’ll be sure to pass this information to our users. Thank you for the quick response.
