Social Media Optimization

If you are creating a page in BBIS that you want to share on social media, follow these steps to make your pages more friendly for social sharing.

  • When you have finished the rest of the page, add an Unformatted Text part somewhere on the page. For consistency with other pages, add it just above the main content area.
  • Use “og” in the name of each part so they can be filtered more easily. For example, on the Knight Line story page (ucffoundation.org/knight-line-care-calls) the part is called “standalone – lead story – knight line – og”
  • When the editing window for the part opens, check the “Show advanced options” box at the bottom.
  • Paste the code and modify the pieces in the “” for your event.
  • In the “Placement in HTML” dropdown, select “In the <head> tag”

 

For example, on the Knight Line story page, the code looks like this:

  • <meta property=”og:image” content=”https://www.ucffoundation.org/image/miscellaneous-site-images/knightline-callers.png” />
  • <meta property=”og:title” content=”During Pandemic, Knightline Student Calling Center Focuses on Caring, not Fundraising” />
  • <meta property=”og:description” content=” “Our goal is to let [alumni] know we still care about them, wanting to know how they’re doing after graduating and letting them know about things going on at UCF,” says student Ilyssa Appleman.”/>
  • You can find the URL for the image either by looking in the code for the page or by finding it in the BBIS image library and copying its URL. You can also right-click on the image, open it in a new window, and then copy the URL from the browser address bar.
  • Click Save
  • <meta property=”og:image” content=”URL OF IMAGE GOES HERE” />
  • <meta property=”og:title” content=”HEADLINE TEXT GOES HERE” />
  • <meta property=”og:description” content=”DESCRIPTION TEXT GOES HERE.”/>
  • Use the following template for on-screen confirmation pages in BBIS.
  • Copy and paste the following code into the “View Source Code” pop-up

<h1 style=”text-align: center;”>Thank You for Registering!</h1>

<h3 style=”text-align: center;”>We look forward to seeing you on [date]! </h3>
