Developer Notes

Tracking Shares

Each permalink includes a unique user hash, so you can track the shares and referrals back to the sharing user.

Use 'entity:share', $entity_type hook for tracking shares. Use 'entity:referred', $entity_type hook for tracking traffic generated by the user's share

Images

In cases, where content icons are not available to the outside world, you can use 'entity:icon:filestore', $entity_type hook, to specify the location of the the location of the icon on the filestore.

Metatags

To modify OpenGraph or other metatags, use 'metatags', 'discovery' hook.

Embeds

To control the output of the embedded content, see the oembed viewtype views.
