VBET Doesn't rewrite Open graph descriptions

[mykkal]

Hey Martin,

Found another bug for you. It has to do with social sharing using this version. Whenever I share from a translated url the opengraph data uses the original content from the english version.

For instance this url is in italian but the open graph tags pull the descriptyion and sharing url from the english version: Truffa Fittizio, Agente modellante Julia Rodi
You have to view the source to see what I mean. Below is an extract:

<meta property="og:description" content="Hello my name is Julia Rhodes, and am a freelance modeling agent working for female first magazine in recruiting models.Female first Magazine" /><meta property="og:url" content="http://mymodeltalk.com/jobs/modeling-nigerian-419-industry-scams/330355-scam-ficticious-modeling-agent-julia-rhodes.html" /><meta property="og:type" content="article" /><meta property="og:image" content="http://mymodeltalk.com/file/style/mmt/newslettergraphic.jpg" /><meta property="og:title" content="Scam by Ficticious Modeling Agent  Julia Rhodes" />

Everything except the "og:image content" should be in italian. So far this fails to translate or display the correct description, url location,and title.

Do you have any code I could use to fix this? If some reads the thread in their native language i'm sure they want to share it on social media in their native language.

I found this error through google webmaster tools. it reported duplicate descriptions and titles.

Hi,
I see that you are adding open graph tags using Open Graph Description & Title Fix on Threads/Blog. You must integrate this product with vBET.
To integrate this product with full version of vBET:

• Edit plugin AdminCP->Plugins & Products->Plugin Manager->Open Graph Description / Tile Override
• Paste this code at the beginning:
  

  require_once(DIR. '/includes/vbenterprisetranslator_functions.php');
  require_once(DIR. '/includes/vbenterprisetranslator_functions_utils.php');
  global $vbulletin;
  $forumLanguage = $vbulletin->options['vbenterprisetranslator_forumlanguage'];
  $language = $_REQUEST['language'];
  $serie = microtime(true) * 10000; 

• Find:
  

  $og_array['og:description'] = $thread['meta_description']; 
  $og_array['og:title'] = $thread['title']; 

• REPLACE it with this code (For utf-8 characters):
  

  $og_array['og:description'] = vbet_translateText($thread['meta_description'], $forumLanguage, $language, $serie); 
  $og_array['og:title'] = vbet_translateText($thread['title'], $forumLanguage, $language, $serie); 

• REPLACE it with this code (For not utf-8 characters):
  

  $og_array['og:description'] = vbet_translateText(vbet_encodeToSafeUTF8($thread['meta_description']), $forumLanguage, $language, $serie); 
  $og_array['og:title'] = vbet_translateText(vbet_encodeToSafeUTF8($thread['title']), $forumLanguage, $language, $serie); 

• Find:
  

  $og_array['og:description'] = $ogdesc; 
  $og_array['og:title'] = $bloginfo['title'] . ' ' . $vbphrase['posted_by'] . ' ' . $bloginfo['username']; 

• REPLACE it with this code (For utf-8 characters):
  

  $og_array['og:description'] = vbet_translateText($ogdesc, $forumLanguage, $language, $serie); 
  $og_array['og:title'] = vbet_translateText($bloginfo['title'], $forumLanguage, $language, $serie); 

• REPLACE it with this code (For not utf-8 characters):
  

  $og_array['og:description'] = vbet_translateText(vbet_encodeToSafeUTF8($ogdesc), $forumLanguage, $language, $serie); 
  $og_array['og:title'] = vbet_translateText(vbet_encodeToSafeUTF8($bloginfo['title']), $forumLanguage, $language, $serie) . ' ' . $vbphrase['posted_by'] . ' ' . $bloginfo['username'];;

Marcin,

Will have this adjustment in the next Release of vBET PRO?

[Marcin Kalak]

This integration does not require code change in vBET. This code changes functions of plugin to vBET translate tags added by him.

[Marcin Kalak]

Please try to add after:

$language = $_REQUEST['language']; 

following code:

if(!$language) { 
$language = $forumLanguage;
}
