Facebook Like Module : Wrong Image Displayed on Facebook Pag

Post by mikoarts »

Jan, first - thank you for your work.

I'm testing your Facebook Social Module on my site. Here is the test page, 'Problem-Artwork' :D ...:

http://mikoarts.com/index.php/gallery-c ... al-collage

It is very important that the largest image correspond with the 'Like'-click on the user's Facebook page, as I am an artist and displaying individual artworks is the sole purpose of using this script.

However, I cannot get the correct image to display. (It) always displays the tiny upper-jpg image [on the right-hand-side of the artwork title]. So you know, I have properly submitted my Facebook App ID to the module parameters, though I think this is unnecessary (If you look at the HikaShop Products, their Social Plugin works, without requiring any APP ID to be entered). Eg:

http://mikoarts.com/index.php/shop/mac- ... -wallpaper

I have tried implementing the 'Open Graph' Metatags within the body of the 'Problem-Artwork' page's joomla content, ie:

<head>
<meta property="og:image" content="http://mikoarts.com/....artwork.jpg"/>
</head>

But the problem still persists. I tried entering this into the raw code (toggling the editor), then tested it putting it into the Meta Properties box in the Article Properties. Nothing has worked.

Is there a special type of plugin which I need to install to supplement these 'open-graph' tags? Am I inserting them correctly? I read on some forums that these 'Open-Graph' tags are incredibly simple and will cause the 'Like' button to find & use the right image all-of-the-time, but this is getting very frustrating, as Joomla seems extremely vague about where to place them.

What do you recommend to make this work? Any explanation of the solution is greatly appreciated - I will have over 300 works of art and other products which all require unique & accurate Facebook integration. What do your coding-superpowers recommend?

Thank you in advance, Miko
