Linkedin Post not excepting URL

[cknight]

Have been asked why a Linkedin post won’t correctly show the URL from a website built with Wappler on its routing/rewriting.

URL is:

Lombardi LH33 Ram Punch

Below is what appears in the LinkedIn post panel, any ideas as to the problem, is it the spaces (%20) causing the issue?

Thats great Antony, thank you so much.

do you know if you can make the tags dynamic?

For Node Js:

Sever Side Rendering with NodeJS

In this update you can use full Server Side data rendering for NodeJS! Your NodeJS template based web sites can fully empower now Server Connect for dynamic Server Side Data Rendering! What is Server Side Rendering Server side rendering is great for sharing content on platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and others which can’t read dynamic javascript content. The specific meta tags for each platform, as well as the general ones like title, description, author etc. can be rendered on th…

Thank you, but this site is php not js node

[Sorry_Duh]

Unfortunately i’m not sure this is available in PHP or it is not supported by Wappler. I could be wrong though I only really use Node JS so this could have changed

I have added some og tags but LinkedIn still shows the dynamic info on the page as the Wappler tags, {{serverconnect1.dataquery[0].example}}

On Facebook everything works fine!

Facebook may have updated their code to allow getting javascript based meta tags not all social media sites support this, some expect the tags to be done server side and will not use the javascript for the meta tags.

Looks like it might be possible with custom code again not sure this is natively supported:

PDO connection if you prefer not to use a prerender service

I decided for my newly created Africa Collection site that I would rather get the meta tags and other SEO tags filled with my own PDO connection because certain social media platforms and schema providers can not parse the javascript and just read the page source before it is rendered. I have in the past used services from StackPath and prerender.io to produce similar results however this site changes pretty often, and the prerender indexing speed could become an issue for my client.

This is how I did it with PHP, as @Sorry_Duh says…

I have a similar method for all my pages already.

The issue with LinkedIn is not so much the meta tags but that it is unable to read the Wappler dynamic tags {{}}.
I’m guessing because LinkedIn can’t or won’t read the Javascript?

That’s correct, Linkedin does not parse javascript data in the meta tags.

@cknight, isn’t it the case that if you use the method proposed above, your PHP will serve pure metatags with no {{}} content?

Maybe I don’t fully understand the limitations of LinkdIn compared to Facebook…

That’s correct, it will serve the rendered data.

In the image posted above its the page data which is not showing, not the meta data, again I’m guessing LinkedIn either wont render Javascript ot it doesnt like the Wappler {{}} tags

[Teodor]

@cknight

LinkedIn either wont render Javascript

Yes, that’s the issue and it is the same i am saying.
