    Default Twitter Product Card

    Hello. I installed this addon twitter product card on 1.5.1 zencart and having trouble to validate URL at twitter, because the instruction on addon is very vague. Instruction says 1 install all files and run sql. 2. make any necessary changes 3. go to dev.twitter.com and follow instructions....
    now...
    In zencart admin panel it gives you 2 lines to setup:
    Site: Set the site for twitter product card
    Creator: Set the creator for twitter product card

    when i go to dev.twitter.com and trying to setup twitter product card twitter site there mean your twitter id, and its just
    has it own fields with description and no matter what i fill there up i dont get an url to my product on zencart. I guess i just need to see an example of this setup. can anyone share an example of this?
    thanks.

    1. Enter your twitter username for site and creator in admin - configuration - twitter product card.
    2. Go to dev.twitter.com and validate it.

    If you can not do it, I do not know how to guide you again

    thank you very much for your answer... dont you think it is a big difference between "enter your twitter username" and "set the site for twitter product card? its just very confusing.

    Here is the problem i am facing. this is the plugin's readme: I. HOW TO INSTALL

    - It's very easy to install, no hard-coded. You only need to upload all files to destination folder.


    II. HOW TO USE

    - You need have to integrate the twitter button.
    - Go to this URL, enter your URL product page and apply:
    https://dev.twitter.com/docs/cards/validation/validator

    now the problem... My all files installed and here is why i am saying there is a lack of instructions:
    1. I have twitter button built into my template using addthis.
    2. in store admin panel in twitter product card i fill out two rows:
    a/ Set the site for twitter product card (which turned out to mean twitter user id) - filled with my twitterid
    b/Set the creator for twitter product card (which also mean twitter user id) filled with same twitterid
    3. i went to dev.twitter.com selected twitter product card, where
    filled out:
    a/ twitter site: twitterid
    b/ creator: twitterid
    title, description, image scr, etc.. all filled out
    4. click validate url, and copy paste here my "URL product page", which is my product URL at store.
    5 result: invalid card type

    which step is missing here? Please help, if anyone have ever succeeded with this.

    You could (I believe) use @torvista's update to Structured Data for Zen Cart; the link goes to his GitHub repository for that plugin.

    Twitter is cutting my images in half. I am using Image Handler I have a new file for Facebook and Twitter for 1024px X 512px. The main first file is set for default up to 1000px by 1000px. When I share the product on Facebook it give me to image choice either 1000px by 1000px (default) or 1024px by 512px. When I choose the 1024px by 512px for facebook it looks and work great. But when I try to share it on Twitter. It only pulls 1000px by 1000px instead of 1024px by 512px. When I tweet it cuts my product image in half due to 1000px by 1000px.
