My website is www.howlingwilderness.com. When I post my comments to FB from the JFBCComments box, the comment shows up in FB on my page as expected, but I haven't figured out how to control what image is posted with it. Right now it's sending my JFB affiliate logo, which ought to make y'all happy . How to I control this, please?

Thanks,
Janet

Janet,
In the article contents on your home page, or through a Custom HTML module, add the following tag:
{SCOpenGraph image=http://site.com/link-to-image.jpg}
That will instruct Facebook what image to use on that page (you can do this on any page you want).

Additionally, in the Social -> Open Graph area of JFBConnect, you can set defaults for pages that haven't been explicitly set (or aren't pulled by JFBConnect automatically). It's good to set defaults for things like your logo, so Facebook doesn't have to guess at the best image for your page.

Hope that helps, but if you have any questions, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Alex,

Still having trouble. Let me be sure about how to personalize that code. Does {SCOpenGraph image=http://site.com/link-to-image.jpg} become {SCOpenGraph image=http://www.howlingwilderness.com/link-to-archer7.png} when my image name is archer7.png and my site is www.howlingwilderness.com. I'm getting the site name on FB but now no image at all. I tried placing the code in articles or in its own module with the actual image.

Thanks,
Janet

Janet,
Yes, in the tags, replace site.com with www.howlingwilderness.com. For the link you mention, if the image name is simply 'archer7.png' and it's in your domain root, you'd use the URL www.howlingwilderness.com/archer7.png. If it's in the /images folder, you'd use www.howlingwilderness.com/images/archer7.png.

Basically, try going to that image URL directly in a browser. If it comes up, then insert that link into the SCOpenGraph tag. Once you think you have it right, you can use the Facebook Open Graph debug tool to immediately test if the tags are correct. Simply put the page URL in there, and information about what Facebook sees will be displayed:
developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
There may be some warnings, which is normal.. but your image should show as a small thumbnail there.

Hope that helps,
Alex
