Adds Open Graph metadata to your posts and pages so that they look great when
shared on sites like Facebook and Google+.

== Description ==

The [Open Graph protocol][] enables any web page to become a rich object in a
social graph.  Most notably, this allows for these pages to be used with
Facebook's [Like Button][] and [Graph API][] as well as within [Google+][]
posts.

The Open Graph plugin inserts the Open Graph metadata into WordPress posts and
pages, and provides a simple extension mechansim for other plugins and themes
to override this data, or to provide additional Open Graph data.

This plugin does not directly add social plugins like the Facebook Like Button
or the Google [+1 Button][] to your pages (though they're pretty simple to
add).  It will however make your pages look great when shared using those kinds
of tools.

== Frequently Asked Questions ==

= How do I configure the Open Graph plugin? =

You don't; there's nothing to configure and there is no admin page.  By
default, it will use whatever standard WordPress data it can to populate the
Open Graph data.  There are very simple yet powerful filters you can use to
modify or extend the metadata returned by the plugin, described below.

= How do I extend the Open Graph plugin? =

There are two main ways to provide Open Graph metadata from your plugin or
theme.  First, you can implement the filter for a specific property.  These
filters are of the form `opengraph_{name}` where {name} is the unqualified Open
Graph property name.  For example, if you have a plugin that defines a custom
post type named "movie", you could override the Open Graph 'type' property for
those posts using a function like:

    function my_og_type( $type ) {
        if ( get_post_type() == "movie" ) {
            $type = "movie";
        }
        return $type;
    }
    add_filter( 'opengraph_type', 'my_og_type' );

This will work for all of the core Open Graph properties.  However, if you want
to add a custom property, such as 'fb:admin', then you would need to hook into
the `opengraph_metadata` filter.  This filter is passed an associative array,
whose keys are the qualified Open Graph property names.  For example:

    function my_og_metadata( $metadata ) {
        $metadata['fb:admin'] = '12345,67890';
        return $metadata;
    }
    add_filter( 'opengraph_metadata', 'my_og_metadata' );

Note that you may need to define the RDFa prefix for your properties.  Do this
using the `opengraph_prefixes` filter.
