[#6778] Using JFactory in CB Auto Actions Code was created by sysopcrew

I had just gotten an Auto Actions Code put together to put FB Open Graph in place using $doc = JFactory::getDocument() and a series of $doc->setMetaData('og:type', 'website', 'property'); lines to get everything in place. (I use the Phoca plugin for articles, but that doesn't load on GroupJive pages).

Then I upgraded to CB Auto Actions 7.0.0, and it seems JFactory doesn't load. Or it does in a different way, and I can't find how in the change log.

The previous CB Auto Actions.seemed like this would have worked. What changed in 7.0.0 that I need to know of to add <meta> tags to the <html><head></head> for proper Open Graph use on Group Jive pages?

PS—I am using JFactory and PHP so Open Graph is dynamic, such as:

Code:

$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
$title = $doc->getTitle();
$doc->setMetaData('og:title', $title , 'property');
$doc->setMetaData('og:url', 'https://example.com' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'property');

Rather than static OG <meta> in a Header code action object. It was working just before the CB Auto Action 7.0.0 upgrade, and nothing in the change log stands out. The Joomla System CB Auto Auction plugin is installed and published, just in case. No difference.

Appears to be an issue with the code action it self. Am fixing for a new build today.

forge.joomlapolis.com/issues/6778

Quickfix as follows if unable to wait for new build.

IN: components/com_comprofiler/plugin/libraries/CB/Plugin/AutoActions/Action/CodeAction.php
ON: Line
FROM:

Code:

					$content			=	CBAutoActions::outputCode( $return, $this->autoaction(), $user, $this->variables() );

TO:

Code:

					$autoaction			=	$this->autoaction();
					$variables			=	$this->variables();
					$content			=	CBAutoActions::outputCode( $code, $autoaction, $user, $variables );

The new build is installed and the fix worked! Code: PHP. Output: None. Method:

Code:

$doc = JFactory::getDocument();
$title = $doc->getTitle();
$doc->setMetaData('og:image', 'https://example.org/image.jpg', 'property');
$doc->setMetaData('og:image:width', '1200', 'property');
$doc->setMetaData('og:image:height', '630', 'property');
$doc->setMetaData('og:title', $title , 'property');
$doc->setMetaData('og:description', 'My Slogan', 'property');
$doc->setMetaData('fb:app_id', '0123456789', 'property');
$doc->setMetaData('og:type', 'website', 'property');
$doc->setMetaData('og:url', 'https://example.org' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'property');
$doc->setMetaData('og:site_name', 'My Website', 'property');

I just gave the action all gj_onBefore*Display triggers. This adds the necessary dynamic Open Graph to all Group Jive pages. I use Phoca for OpenGraph on articles, but found that doesn't load on GJ.

CB OpenGraph could be a fun new Professional add-on… or CB Social Info, to do Twitter Cards, too; something that gives more global control across all CB plugins.

THANK YOU for the quick fix.

A plugin specifically to do that would just be a mini CB Auto Actions so there's not much point. You can simply use a CB Auto Action for that. In most cases you don't even need to use PHP to output custom headers as CB Auto Actions has a usage built in just for that using Code action with Method set to Header to add custom substitution supported HTML to the page header.
