Hi,

This isn't necessarily a problem. I do have a questions though. Pinterest recently unveiled Rich Pins. Rich Pins allow users to "pin" products from a website and get real-time pricing, availabilty, etc. It requires the use of OG tags or meta tags on the individual product page.

Here is the meta tags example:

<meta property="og:title" content="Name of your product" />
<meta property="og:type" content="product" />
<meta property="og:price:amount" content="1.00" />
<meta property="og:price:currency" content="USD" />

The only way I can even think to add something like this to individual products is in the description. However, Hikashop/Joomla strips the tags out upon saving. Even when using Sourcerer to insert the code.

Any ideas on how/where to accomplish this?

Please disregard the above question. I've found a solution. ITPMeta Extension for Joomla:

extensions.joomla.org/extension/itpmeta

Just install the package, then enable the plugin. Once inside the component, make sure to update the library for it. Seems like this will work!

What did you put for "content" in the price field to get it to pull global content from hikashop?

thanks, but this is greek to me.

is this within hikashop code or in the ITP meta "content" field?

Hi,

This is within HikaShop code, more precisely in the "hikashopsocial" plugin.
It require PHP knowledges.

Hi there, I know this is an old post, but relevant still... I followed the instructions in

/plugins/system/hikashopsocial/hikashopsocial.php

and added the new lines

if(isset($types[ (int)$plugin->params['fb_type']]))
    			$this->meta['property="og:type"']='<meta property="og:price:amount" content="$element->prices[0]->price_value" /> ';
if(isset($types[ (int)$plugin->params['fb_type']]))
    			$this->meta['property="og:type"']='<meta property="og:price:currency" content="USD" /> ';
