Controlling 'sent' text and images

The text and image used should be coming from the Open Graph tags that are set on the page. Those tags are usually set by JFBConnect automatically. If there's an Open Graph plugin for the component on that page, that will help generate even better tags (for Joomla Content, K2, JomSocial, etc). If you haven't already installed the Open Graph plugins appropriate for your site, that may help.

To specifically set the tags for a page, you can set the data by adding the following tags into the page that is being "sent":Those tags can be added anywhere in the page (article content, custom module, etc). Once set, it can take Facebook a few days to 'see' the changes, but you can use the Facebook URL Debug Tool to test the changes immediately.

Hope that helps,

First off, we're working on better docs for the Open Graph and more videos to demonstrate everything. A lot of those updates should be available in May.

As for the differences in those two plugins:
* Content - This is for Joomla articles and category layouts. It is aware of how Joomla content works and knows how to fetch the image, title, and description automatically so you don't need to configure anything.
* Custom - This is mainly meant for extensions we don't support as well as a 'clean' plugin that can be used by developers to create their own support. In general, don't use this one unless you've gotten other Open Graph going and know what you're doing. This is 'advanced'.

Hope that helps,

Hehe.. isn't that how it always works I'm glad to hear that got you going. Patience is always hard to come by with social networking stuff, we understand.

As always, if you need anything else, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex
