Hello,

we have a small Issue to Fix.

Everytime we go into Facebook and we will show our Homepage (fotoabenteuer.de) into the Status Field.Facebook get a wrong Picture from
our old Domain www.fotoreise.info.

All the Subpages dont show pictures if we will share over facebook. Google+ Works.

We use the facebook Debugger and see the canoical url for the picture link to the old page. we clear the facebook cache but evertyme the same result.

We double check the App PAge for fotoabenteuer and delete the fotoreise facebok app. Check our entrys in jfbc too.

It was fine you can help us.

Best Michael

Everytime we go into Facebook and we will show our Homepage (fotoabenteuer.de) into the Status Field.Facebook get a wrong Picture from our old Domain www.fotoreise.info.


Using the Facebook Open Graph Debugger for the fotoabenteuer.de URL, I see that the og:image tag is being added to the page incorrectly. It is being added as "www.fotoabenteuer.de/" when instead it should be a link to the full image URL. This is probably why you are seeing unexpected results for the image; Facebook knows that the old canonical URL used to be to the .info page so it is trying to follow that to get an image for the page. How is this image tag being added to the page?

All the Subpages dont show pictures if we will share over facebook

If I use the Facebook Open Graph Debugger to debug a page on your site like fotoabenteuer.de/index.php/component/k2/...nale-fotografie.html then I see the following error:
Error parsing input URL, no data was cached, or no data was scraped.

However, when I re-scrape the page, the image shows properly. This indicates to me that Facebook has not scraped all of the pages on your site. Depending on how new your site or domain are and how much traffic you are receiving, Facebook may take a long time (on the order of weeks) to scrape all of your pages. The test above to manually scrape shows that the site seems to be configured correctly.

I hope this explains the issue.

Hello Mel,

thx for your fast Response.

in the Time until your Answer i am install a plugin from Gavick (Template comes from) and make a new scrape and the k2 article pics was showing over the share option.
Into the Plugin i can put a picture for the start page and this pic was show every time a user shared the page in facebook over the status or share function.
but this is not what i need. i will do this with jfbc without plugins from gavik. The Pictures of the startpage are dynamic.

Or must i wait a couple of weeks until facebook scraped the page ?

Best
Michael

#1. Looking at your page, you still need to remove
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.fotoabenteuer.de/" />
It will cause Facebook's scrapers problems. This tag is NOT being set by JFBConnect.

I don't think the plugin is necessary for Open Graph to work and I'm not seeing any new og:image tags on your homepage. On your K2 pages, JFBConnect is properly inserting the XL image size for your Open Graph image tag, whereas K2 is only setting the Small size. We are doing this correctly as noted in my previous post, and I don't see any HTML issues on the page otherwise, or see anything Open Graph tags that the plugin from Gavick is adding at all..

#3. In whatever extension is inserting the image onto your frontpage, you can add the following code.
{SCOpenGraph image=FULL_PATH_TO_IMAGE}
For instance, on the homepage I see right now, add
{SCOpenGraph image=http://www.fotoabenteuer.de/media/k2/items/cache/e213534406f5e673030b12a49a117407_XL.jpg}
Then a new scrape should get that image.
