Adding custom meta tags to the doc head?

[Matt Thomson]

Hi All,

I'm trying to add this tag to the head of the document ( using Joomla
1.5):

<meta property="og:image" content="thumbnail_image_path" />

This is for the facebook share button:

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

The setMetaData function in JDocument assumes the meta tag should be:
<meta name="og:image"
rather than;
<meta property="og:image"

Facebook does not read the <meta name= tag.

Does anyone know a trick to get around this.

I need to do things the official way, as the code is going into a 3rd
party extension (I can't just hack my template etc).

Thanks,

Matt.

JDocumentHTML::addCustomTag() should do the job.

you can try JDocument's addCustomTag()
