Tumblr lacks the relevant template tags to provide more information, when sharing a post on a social network site, when the share request is made on from the index page.
Currently there are variables {PostTitle}
and {PostSummary}
, but these only rendered on the Permalink page.
The goal is to replicate the information Tumblr creates for the Facebook OG meta
tags (which is rendered on the permalink page). Although it is possible to generate the correct OG tags on the index page, this only provides support for Facebook, so other networks still need padding out.
