After Dark provides {{< external text="Open Graph Protocol" href="http://opengraphprotocol.org" />}} and {{< external href="https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/tweets/optimize-with-cards" text="Twitter Cards" />}} metadata in pages to achieve rich sharing cards on WhatsApp, Twitter, Telegram and more:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Adjust `author` in {{< external href="https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/" text="Site Configuration" />}} to specify name shown, if any:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[params]
|
|
author = "Bali Bebas!"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Set or override `author` per page using{{< external href="https://gohugo.io/content-management/front-matter/" text="Front Matter" />}} as shown here:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
title = "Become a Digital Nomad in Bali: The Lost Guide"
|
|
description = "Everything you need to know to become a Digital Nomad in Bali."
|
|
author = "After Dark"
|

date = "2017-02-02T11:57:24+08:00"

images = [

|
"https://source.unsplash.com/-09QE4q0ezw/2000x1322"
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Adjust `images` to specify an external image or, if using {{< external href="https://gohugo.io/content-management/page-bundles/" text="Page Bundles" />}}, specify the relative path to the image resource to use:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
images = [
|
|
"/post/post-title/images/lana-abie-581813-unsplash.jpg"
|
|
]
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{{% hackcss-alert type="info" %}}**Why use arrays?** Open Graph supports multiple image sizes. And though After Dark doesn't support multiple sizes, users can create [custom layouts](../custom-layouts) that do.{{% /hackcss-alert %}}
|
|
|
|
If no page-level image is provided After Dark will fallback to a site-wide image which may be adjusted or removed from {{< external href="https://gohugo.io/getting-started/configuration/" text="Site Configuration" />}}:
|
|
|
|
```toml
|
|
[params]
|
|
images = [
|
|
"https://source.unsplash.com/-09QE4q0ezw/2000x1322" # site-wide og:image

|
]
