how to define an opengraph image for the root URL, without overriding all other pages' OG

[Paul Buisson]

I found that this line was not present in head.tpl , but if I were to put it in, wouldn't that over-write the OG images on each other page? Where can I properly define the og:image for ONLY the root URL?

<meta property=”og:image” content=”{$img_ps_dir}logo.jpg”> 

I tried setting a category cover image for the 'home' category, but that didn't work, and I do purposely have the display of the 'home' category set to off.

so the $img_ps_dir might predate 1.7.8

I instead tried <meta property="og:image" content="/img/metacardlogo.jpg" /> in the theme/classic/templates/_partials/head.tpl inserted after line  65.

and that did in fact overwrite every other og:image throughout the site, as i suspected it would, so I assume that I would need to wrap the meta property in an {if !isset} to detect if ONLY it is the root URL, but I am at a loss of how to properly do that.

Hi,

If you are using PS 1.7+ than use below condition to wrap it.

{if $page.page_name == 'index'}
