Adding open graph info

I wanted to add the facebook opengraph meta tags to my site

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/

Easy enough I thought, edit site.mako and put it in the head section,
then hey presto it will appear on every page (static and blog)

However I can't figure out what to put in the og:url section! This
needs to be the url of the actual page which blogofile certainly knows,
but I don't think it is being put in the context.

I'm using the latest git checkout.

Thanks for any help!

Nick

Try this:

<% from urllib.parse import urljoin %>
Current URL : $
{urljoin(bf.config.site.url,bf.template_context.render_path)}

Thanks!

Ah, I think that is only in the plugins branch isn't it? I'm using
master at the moment.

I haven't figured out how to run the plugins branch yet, but I think it
is going to be the future isn't it so I'd better work it out ;-)

A simple way of dupming everything in the bf object would be really useful.
