Hi,
we are using your component on our joomla website and we are having some issues. One of them is when we post on FB an article. When we post, most of the times the photo that is attached to the article is different than the photo of the joomla article. We searched it on your forum and we checked all the things you say about opengraph but still no solution. Using a "logo" image as you suggest in other posts, for all articles is not a solution for us. Is there anything else we could check?

Thank you in advance.

PS: we use Joomla! 2.5.5 Stable

and JFBConnect:

The Open Graph integration since v4.1.2 has been vastly improved. The latest v4.3 release has Open Graph plugins which are much smarter about choosing the image, title, and description for your content and other extensions you're using. The plugins also allow for 'actions' to be automatically posted to the user's Timeline, like "John read article xyz on Eldiego1984 website". See the post above for more information.

v4.1.x was very early in our Open Graph integration, so there's been a lot of improvements since then in how we automatically choose the image.

If you're not interested in upgrading, the best option I can suggest for that release of JFBConnect is adding a specific Open Graph tag for the image you want to use. To do so, in the article contents, add the following line:

{SCOpenGraph image=http://<yoursite>.com/link-to-your-image-for-article.jpg}

Obviously, update that with the appropriate link to the image. You'd need to do that for any articles that the image isn't being properly detected on. Beyond that, can you let me know how you're adding the images to the article? That may help us understand why it's not working for you, and we can tell you if it should work in the newer releases as well.

Hope that helps,
Alex
