XenBot submitted a new resource:

Facebook OpenGraph Image from [img] or [attach] - Facebook OpenGraph Image from

By default XenForo uses a static image or the author's avatar in the open graph image metadata. This image is what Facebook displays when you share one of your forum's url.

Basically you end up with the same image over and over again when sharing a thread URL on Facebook.

This addon tries to solve this problem by replacing the og:image metadata with images found within [img ] or [attach ] tags on threads. If no image is found, the default static image is used.

XenBot updated Facebook OpenGraph Image from [img] or [attach] with a new update entry:

version 1.3 - now grabs YouTube screen grab as well.

  • I've taken over the resource from Julian.
  • Small change in this update which I wanted for my own site (www.landcruiserclub...net) - if you embed a youtube video then this will extract the default creen grab for the video and use that as the og:image url
  • I have a few other bits I will add to it in the coming weeks. If you have any ideas then throw them this way and I'll try get them in.
  • As always, comments and suggestions welcome.
