We have gotten most of the features of JFBC to work right away. Though we need help with some of the finer points. I recently connected to our site using JFBC and while i was logged in I "liked" an article and it posted to my wall. It all looked great except we would prefer to have the image from the article post instead of the silhouette (image attached). Is that possible?

We're working on a way to specify more information about the page your liking. There are a set of meta tags that can be inserted into the head section which help tell Facebook extra information about the page, like the image to use.

Unfortunately, we don't have anything for what you're looking for yet, but something should be available soon, near the time of the 3.1 release (due very soon).

Ok that sounds like a possible workaround for now. Do I need to install the extra meta tags manually or can I use one of the plugins to insert them? In your reply could you also give me the tags you mentioned above? Thanks Alex

Right now, the plugin can't insert the tags. We're expecting to get this implemented in the 3.2 release now, along with some other updates to the whole slew of social plugins. Until then, the tags that need to be inserted can be found on the following page:

Hope this helps get you started, but if you have any questions, let us know.
