Hello, we're really happy with jfb connect, but we find out that when we use the LIKE feature, the image shown up on facebook is not the one taken from the article. Is there any solution ? Our site is www.altropensiero.org
Thanks a lot in advance

The image used in the article is determined by the Facebook Open Graph tags set on the page. You can enable and configure Open Graph features in the Social area of the JFBConnect admin section. Click on the Open Graph tab and make sure that Open Graph integration is enabled.

Once done, we'd recommend you enable the setting for automatically using the first image in an article as the image. Next, in the big Defaults box at the bottom, you should put a backup image which is used on non-article pages or articles without an image. Things like a logo are good here. To do so, simply put:
image=http://yoursite.com/logo.jpg

Finally, on any articles or pages where you want to specifically specify a certain image to be used when Liked, you can use the JFBCGraph easy tag, like so:
{JFBCGraph image=http://yoursite.com/best-image-for-article.jpg}

Hope this helps get you all setup and explains things.. but if you have questions, let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Riccardo,
Your Like button issue will clear itself up in a day or so. Facebook seems to be overly cautious right now with new apps and is waiting till it's scanned the pages a little bit to allow Likes. They used to do this, but we're getting a few support posts about this recently, so they seem to be doing it more than normal.

For more information, check out this post from yesterday which explains a few workarounds and details more of the 'why' of what they're doing:

Hope this helps, and good luck,
Alex
