Can you link to an actual Joomla article to look at? It looks like you have K2 as well, and I'm just not sure what page you're testing with.

Thanks,
Alex

Can you install and publish the Open Graph - K2 plugin that is part of the main zip file you can download from this site. The Open Graph plugins are new with the v4.3 release, so you may not have installed them before.

Once enabled, the Open Graph plugin will automatically insert the image from the article as an Open Graph tag which Facebook can see and use for news feed posts.

Hope that helps, but if you already have that enabled, or have other questions, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

I think we see what the problem is. By default, our Open Graph - K2 plugin will just try to pull the first image that is in the article text out and use that. If it doesn't exist, then no image is added (unless you create an Open Graph Object in JFBConnect for your K2 category). That's all a bit confusing, so let's try the following code fix and let us know how it goes.

Please edit the /plugins/opengraph/k2/k2.php file. Around line 119, you'll see:
$image_type = 'custom_image_first';
Please change that to:
$image_type = 'custom_image_item';
After you make the change, run the URL through Facebook's Debug Tool to see if the image is correct:
developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

If so, then all your pages will update with the proper image over a day or so as Facebook re-scans them automatically.

Hope that helps,
Alex

Maria,
Thanks for your patience. I got into your site and updated your Open Graph - K2 to what we're going to be releasing in a few days. It seems to have fixed the image problem you were having and you should be good to go with any articles you create going forward. You can see what Facebook sees for the example page you posted above with their Debug Tool below:
developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/o...rande-de-la-historia

Looks right to me. Hope that helps, but if you have any questions, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Hi alex, thanks for your reply....

I think images are now working, but the thing is that the link of the image takes me to a strange web... Ive configured the app in fb connect but, could you please check that Ive done this correctly? If not, pls let me know how to fix this!!!
