Question thread #53

[pauamma]

It's time for another question thread!

The rules:

- You may ask any dev-related question you have in a comment. (It doesn't even need to be about Dreamwidth, although if it involves a language/library/framework/database Dreamwidth doesn't use, you will probably get answers pointing that out and suggesting a better place to ask.)
- You may also answer any question, using the guidelines given in To Answer, Or Not To Answer and in this comment thread.

is there any work afoot to supply or read Open Graph tags?

[pauamma]

There's this suggestion, which was (judging by the tags) entered into Bugzilla, but apparently not resubmitted in GHI after our Bugzilla install passed away. Does anyone know whether any work was done on this bug?

Okay so a *tiny* bit of work got done on this in the sense that links on Facebook now use a more sensible default image, but it's not *actually* an OpenGraph implementation.

Looks like this was bug 4505, but nobody ever started work on it. I'm refiling the bug in GHI now!

[ironymaiden]

excellent, thanks! I'd also love to have the option to show OpenGraph data when I post a link to DW since so many sites provide it; I'll try to find some time to write up a real feature request.
