We have Joomla 5 support! And no more zombie update notices.

Requirements

  • Joomla 4.3, 4.4, or 5.0
  • PHP 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, 8.2, or 8.3.
  • The PHP gd or imagick extension installed and enabled.

Quick start

  • Download and install the plugin ZIP file.
  • Publish the System – Social Magick plugin.
  • Edit the menu item you want to have Open Graph images automatically generated. In its “Open Graph images” tab:
    • Set “Generate Open Graph images” to Yes.
    • Select the Solid template.
  • Save your menu item.
  • Go to metatags.io and paste the URL to the page of your site that corresponds to the menu item you selected. You can now see that it has a preview image.

If you have menu items with core content (Joomla articles) categories and articles which make use of images you can select the Overlay template. You will need to set the “Extra image source” option to “Intro image” or “Full Article image”, depending on which image you want to use.

The templates provided are meant as examples; while you are welcome to use them on your live site, you can also replace the template images with ones that do not have the Social Magick watermark.
