Dirty Butter Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 Right now mine is working properly. I'm not sure if this is why or not, but I have this in main.php: <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html;charset={$CHARACTER_SET}"> <meta name="description" content="{if isset($META_DESCRIPTION)}{$META_DESCRIPTION}{/if}"> <meta name="keywords" content="{if isset($META_KEYWORDS)}{$META_KEYWORDS}{/if}"> <meta name="robots" content="index, follow"> <meta name="generator" content="cubecart"> {if $FBOG} <meta property="og:image" content="{$image.source}"> <meta property="og:url" content="{$VAL_SELF}"> <!-- <meta property="og:image" content="https://dirtybutter.com/plushcatalog/images/source/barn600x600.JPG"> --> {/if} Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Butter Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 Be sure to clear CC and browser cache, as the og part is what Facebook is supposed to use Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirty Butter Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 When you use the Facebook tool does it "see" the correct image? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoejw Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 yes it does but with the text from the meta description from the settings in CC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 when i want to share a product to my facebook account it posts my facebook profile photo instead of the product photo I must have misunderstood your problem. I thought you were not getting the correct product photo. Is it the product description that is wrong?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoejw Posted November 12, 2015 Author Share Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) no, you did get it right, i get the wrong product photo ( fb profile photo ) with the text from the cc meta description in settings. However when i go to my site and click on the fb icon near the product it shows the right photo ( the product photo ) but it post the profile photo.The same happens when i copy and paste the code from the addthis website directly in the right pages. ( addthis plugin disabled then ).haha it even gets wierder, when i click the fb icon on your site at this item 1950s FIRE KING White 8.5 in Mixing Bowl NM, it posts the image from the sitelock ( top left of ur site ) with it.

Dirty Butter Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Yep - like I said to begin with - I've had issues with this. Both our sites are setup the same way for og: - but estates does not work right. plushcatalog does for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoejw Posted November 20, 2015 Author Share Posted November 20, 2015 anyone got a solution for this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
verhoejw Posted December 19, 2015 Author Share Posted December 19, 2015 Is this the corect code for the url?<meta property="og:url" content="{$VAL_SELF}">Is there any other code that specifies the exact url from which you want a photo to share on fb. Becaus when i use fb debug tool and enter a url where the photo i want to share is on it shares the correct image Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
