Right now, the Like button will pick the 'best' image from your page that it thinks works for the Like. In the 3.2 release, coming out in a week or so, you'll have the ability to specify the image that should be used for the Like button. In the meantime, I'd recommend you add the following tags to the 'head' section of your template, which let you specify a default Like image to use across your site (which will replace the 'other' DJ):
<meta property="og:image" content="http://LINK_TO_YOUR_IMAGE.jpg"/>

There are a lot of other 'tags' you can use about your site, which again, we'll let you specify in the upcoming release.. but you may want to hard-code some defaults for your entire site now. For more information on the available tags, see the Getting Started section of:
developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/

If anything above doesn't make sense, let us know, and we'll help clarify!

You're English is fine :)

Yes, we're shooting for the end of this month or early April for the new release. That should have the ability to easily add the tag I mentioned above.

We'll be sending out a newsletter shortly after it's released, but feel free to follow our blog and/or Twitter (@sourcecoast) feed to know right when it comes out. Also, the JFBConnect overview page will always let you know the most recent version available.

Hope this helps, and thanks for patience!

Hi,

I have installed jfb 3.2 and its works fine.
But i have the same problem already still exists, i have a lot of articels with djs and musik groups, if i recommend or click like i have in facebook wall the images from other articels.

My question is :
Can i deactivated the image in facebook if i click like/recommend in articels ?
The problem is the djs or other groups dont want a picture from another guys with her name.

My site url is : www.aramaplatform.com

Bayram,
You'll want to use the new Open Graph features included in 3.2. You can find them in the Social area under the Open Graph tab.

Mainly, in here, Enable Open Graph support. Then, in the defaults box, I'd recommend the following line:
image=http://linktoyourdefaultimage.jpg

This will tell Facebook what the default image to use for all of your pages should be. Then, on each individual page, if you want to have a specific image (for an event or something specific), you can include the following tag in the article or a CustomHTML module:
{JFBCGraph image=http://mycustomimage.jpg}

Once you have those setup, you can use Facebook's Linter to see how your page(s) look to Facebook:
developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/?url=...aramaplatform.com%2F

Hope this all helps, and good luck!
