hello Alzander

I don't understand well how to use Opengraph even after reading docs... I don't see what I'm supposed to add in the big box in Social>Opengraph tab..

My goal is especially to set a custom image who will be used for all pages instead to use the article image (I disabled this option). So the code for that will be if I'm not wrong this:

image=http://www.mysite.com/images/opengraph_50.png

After I don't see if I must put in the big box only this value or if I must put also all others like:

site_name=Mysite.com
type=website
image=http://www.mysite.com/images/opengraph_50.png

I don't understand also if I must add the tag {JFBCGraph} or not...

Actually I don't plan to use the Title and Description tag because the Title tag are not very useful in my case. The Description tag can be nice to add but I must reflect if I want to use it because my site is in 2 language. So I don't know if putting a description in 2 language is a good idea or not..

thank

If you just want to set one image to be used on every page for wall posts, what you stated above is correct.. Just the image=xxxx tag in that box. Once you enable Open Graph integration in JFBConnect, if you don't set a default title & description (in that box) and don't use the {JFBCGraph title=xx} tags on the page, then we'll automatically set the Open Graph title & description tags to whatever the standard meta title & description tags are. So you shouldn't have to worry about that either.

If your meta description tag is already being translated (by JoomFish) then you should be all set.

Finally, note that when you setup Open Graph tags, it can take Facebook up to 48 hours to 'see' any changes you make to them. You can always use the URL Debug tool of theirs to instantly see how your pages will be scraped by Facebook though:
developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

Hope that helps, but if you have other questions, just let us know,
Alex
