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.

Can someone show me how to add an Twitter Product Card on my site so I can share my products to Twitter? Its asking for Twitter Meta I don't what is it talking about.

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

That makes NO sense.

Why? The structured data includes Twitter "stuff".

Nevermind, I its working perfectly. Right now, I am having with the image on Twitter. Just waiting for the response.

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.

Well also with this plugin is no help either. I have 2 different product images and it only wants to pull only one image and not giving you to choose which image you want.

Anyone!

Which is why I suggest reading up on twitter... segment from the developer page..
Images for this Card support an aspect ratio of 2:1 with minimum dimensions of 300x157 or maximum of 4096x4096 pixels. Images must be less than 5MB in size. JPG, PNG, WEBP and GIF formats are supported. Only the first frame of an animated GIF will be used. SVG is not supported.Also depends on type of card you are creating

images I use are 1109 pixels by 856 pixels 376kb and show without issues,,, but,, i am not using cards..

Well Facebook is the same way when I share my products to Facebook it cuts the images in half. Here is an image of what I am talking about. Its the same when I share to Twitter.
