Default Image

[wesleyboar]

Description

Support a default image for all the image meta tags on any page (and a post via djangocms-blog¹):

• Open Graph og:image
• Twitter twitter:image
• Schema.org image

Use cases

A CMS user expects that every webpage URL (of their site) that they share on Twitter will display an image, even if the page does not have an meta image uploaded.

Proposed solution

1. CMS Admin edits a global Meta Information setting.

2. CMS Admin uploads a "Default Image".

3. Any page (or djangocms-blog post) missing an "Meta-information" > "Common" > "Image" uses image from step 2.
   _{(click to toggle detailed steps)}

   1. CMS User creates page.
   2. CMS User does not upload a "Meta-information" > "Common" > "Image".
   3. CMS User publishes page.
   4. Any user previews sharing the URL of the page created (in step 3) on Twitter.²
   5. An image is rendered.

Alternatives

Require CMS user upload a default image for every CMS page.

@wesleyboar Hi! We've just released 1.4.0 version with this new feature.

Sweet! Thanks.

I'll try out the feature after my team and I get through Django 4 upgrade.

During that though, I think we found the feature introduces a bug:

• Filer Dependency Inccurate #173
