How to change doctype for Open Graph integration with MojoPortal?

Hi

Following the advices in Facebooks open graph integration you should place different meta tags in your master or on specific pages. The meta tags that Facebook have "invented" unfortunately contain a html-invalid tag "property".

This is the guidence I'm able to find: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2704942/html-validation-error-for-property-attribute, which tells you should change your doctype to a XHTML+RDFa version. But there a number of different doctypes with and without "transitional" and I'm affraid to break MojoPortal just exchanging them.

In my MojoPortal master it looks like this:

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

What should it be exchanged with to make both the property tag work and of course wink also MojoPortal?

I'm exited to hear if this is at all possible .. thanks a lot, Lars, Denmark

Hi Lars,

You are free to edit the DocType in your layout.master file. You can change it as specified in the facebook documentation or in the stackoverflow post you linked.

mojoPortal won't care about the doctype. It may affect validation according to the w3c validator but its not going to cause any problem in mojoPortal functioning.

Some of the skins we ship use Xhtml doctype and others use Html 5 doctype, but you can use whatever you like.

Hope that helps,

Joe
