I am building a website for a conference, with opengraph
attributes for Facebook and Twitter sharing.
The validator says that the og:type
field is mandatory:
So, I added a field:
<meta property="og:type" content="..." />
I am not sure what is my content type. The manual states that:
In order for your object to be represented within the graph, you need to specify its type. This is done using the og:type property:
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
When the community agrees on the schema for a type, it is added to the list of global types.
However, I could not find a list of "global types", and I am not sure what is the type of my conference webpage.
Where can I find a list of global object types for open graph objects?
The four basic open graph tags that are required for each page are og:title , og:type , og:image , and og:url . These tags should be unique for each page you serve, meaning your homepage's tags should all be different from your blog post article's page.
The open graph protocol allows developers to leverage Facebook in new and exciting ways. One of the easiest ways to venture into the world of Open Graph is to add the open graph meta tags to your site. Open graph meta tags allow you to control what content shows up when a page is shared on Facebook.
Open Graph meta tags are snippets of code that control how URLs are displayed when shared on social media. They're part of Facebook's Open Graph protocol and are also used by other social media sites, including LinkedIn and Twitter (if Twitter Cards are absent). You can find them in the <head> section of a webpage.
An open graph image or OG image is the image that appears when you post website or video content to your social accounts. It is part of an important group of meta tags that influence the performance of your content link on social media like Facebook, Linkedin, Pinterest and Twitter.

game.achievement This object type represents a specific achievement in a game. An app must be in the 'Games' category in App Dashboard to be able to use this object type. Every achievement has a game:points value associate with it. This is not related to the points the user has scored in the game, but is a way for the app to indicate the relative importance and scarcity of different achievements: * Each game gets a total of 1,000 points to distribute across its achievements * Each game gets a maximum of 1,000 achievements * Achievements which are scarcer and have higher point values will receive more distribution in Facebook's social channels. For example, achievements which have point values of less than 10 will get almost no distribution. Apps should aim for between 50-100 achievements consisting of a mix of 50 (difficult), 25 (medium), and 10 (easy) point value achievements Read more on how to use achievements in this guide.
