When using Sharethis to share a post from my website, the Twitter share button is unable to grab a dynamically generated image for the post. I have also included the link to the image in the head with "twitter:image" but the problem seems to persist. Any idea how to go around this?
this is an example of metatags to twitter in Django:
in between place:
<meta name="twitter:card" content="summary_large_image"/>
<meta name="twitter:description" content="Place your card description here"/>
<meta name="twitter:title" content="Card TITLE here"/>
<meta name="twitter:image" content="{{SITE_PROTOCOL_URL}}{% static 'location of the image in static files' %}"/>
where SITE_PROTOCOL
context = {
'SITE_PROTOCOL_URL': request._current_scheme_host,
}
In this LINK you can find the twitter card validator debugger
the content url for twitter:image in this example would be:
https://your-site.com/media/your_image_name.jpg
Hope I could help.
Note that will only work in a "live web" context
