Resolved Share Article on Twitter

[Old Nick]

Hello, when i share an article on twitter using the share block i almost never get a twitter card. I have to add a picture manually to the tweet instead to get the Twitter card directly displayed.

Most of times i have to create the tweet like this



Instead to get automatically this



What am i missing ?
Thanks !

This is what it SHOULD look like.. This is an article at Demos.XenAddons.com shared to Twitter.

Also, SOMETIMES (not all the time, but sometimes) when you share a tweet, only the TEXT will displayed, HOWEVER, if you hard refresh, that busts the cache and the large image will display (happens to me from time to time).

Also, keep in mind, this is a CORE XF function and uses core XF Share Macros. AMS does not control this in any way shape or forum. AMS only passes data into the Core XF Macros.

Twitter also decides whether the image is large enough to display the "Large" twitter card. If the Cover Image for the article is not large enough, then Twitter (and Facebook) will reject it and try to find an image that does meet their requirements and if not, then it will present the share in the smaller twitter card that uses a thumbnail size image instead.

I just tried on your demo site and it works well, idk why it's not the same for my site... none of AMS template is modified.
Look at my Twitter, i can't get shared articles like you : Regionalis : Forums et Articles (@regionalis_fr) / Twitter

Did you try a hard refresh (Shift F5). I have to do that from time to time to load without cache
