rnd123 hello, is there a support channel for Microdata?
#
Zegnat rnd123 I am not sure, what are you looking for specifically?
#
rnd123 hello Zegnat, i have a problem with my implementation of my html5 microdata and google's image search service and i'm looking for a place in which i could ask some questions and get some answers about it
#
Zegnat Microdata is/was part of the HTML spec. But it sounds like you are having a problem not with the HTML part of it, but the specific vocabulary. No idea where you would be able to get help with that.
#
rnd123 I used this guide http://schema.org/docs/gs.html
#
rnd123 And i'm not getting the results i was expecting, so i'm looking for a place in which i could freely ask about it, sorry
#
Zegnat All I know about Microdata is that you can use http://micrometa.jkphl.is/ to check how it gets parsed. What a consumer (e.g. Google) does with the output I have no idea where that would be documented though.
#
rnd123 thanks a lot Zegnat going to use it
#
Zegnat Good luck, and sorry I couldn’t help more. Obviously I would recommend just using microformats instead, but that seems counterintuitive ;)
#
rnd123 they only problem is with the images search engine, every other google service works fine with my code
#
rnd123 i think they just made changes and forgot or don't want to update the docs
#
rnd123 the*
#
rnd123 https://developers.google.com/custom-search/docs/structured_data#microdata
#
rnd123 that link "supposedly" has all the information about their interpretation on these formats, used it and still doesn't work
#
rnd123 i think i'ma give up
#
rnd123 thanks a lot once more Zegnat
#
rnd123 Zegnat: the link you gave me parses everything just fine :)
#
Zegnat If it parses all your data fine, the problem is not with your HTML but with Google as consumer

rnd123 Zegnat: found the problem
#
rnd123 In case of Google Search For its image-related search features, Google typically (probably even in all cases) requires an ImageObject value (instead of an URL value).
#
rnd123 i was not using an ImageObject .....
#
rnd123 i was using the image property and the url
#
rnd123 i also found out that yandex requires an imageobject to get the images indexed in the image search service
#
Zegnat To be honest, I still expect Google is adding images to their library if they are just plain old <img> elements. So I am not going to worry about any of that. Haha
#
Loqi hehe
#
rnd123 xD
#
rnd123 their web browser does not yet support animated png nowadays...(had some issues time ago with that), wondering myself what is the real problem between google and images
#
rnd123 well, fixes done, now i must wait about 1-2 weeks to see if changes worth anything, im greatly grateful for your help, Zegnat, thanks a bunch. Have a nice day to everyone :)
