I've begun implementing the Facebook Open Graph Protocol on a site, however, I need to insert code into the html source before the <head> tag of each page - i.e. I need to add source code into the <html> type description (so that I can import the FB type, and to declare my own category types).

I've been unable to get to the page generator (because a couple of pages are encoded by Viart), and wondering if there was any way of including these calls before the <head> of the html.

You can view the page / site here -

Main site - http://www.murrayschemist.co.uk

Sample page - http://www.murrayschemist.co.uk/red_door_edt_50ml_spray.php

Any ideas / thoughts are greatly appreciated on this.

Maybe the files like templates/user/layout_three_columns.html or templates/user/layout_two_columns.html (depending on what layout you use in CMS) will suit your needs?

Hi Vera,
On looking at those files - they don't have ANY content ... when I added the required <html> tags - it actually broke the template ... so, unless there is specific methodoly to doing this .. care to shed some light?

Were you able to fix this? I just discovered that my share buttons (via addthis) make horrible posts with incorrect picture, etc. Looks like I need to implement the open graph thing and wondered if anyone figured this out.
