If you look here Ecologisch bouwen .

And when you post on the bottom of the page, with the social plug-in from facebook. you will see that it's posting on the site, but not posting on you're own facebook timeline. Even when you tick the box. Is there a reason for ?

There's a few possible reasons. First, when I try to run your page through the Facebook URL Debug tool, it comes back with multiple errors about scanning your page:

Object at URL 'www.glansbeton.be/nl/woonbeton/glansbeto...g/ecologische-bouwen' of type 'website' is invalid because a required property 'og:title' of type 'string' was not provided.
Warning
Curl Error : WRITE_ERROR Error while processing content unencoding: invalid block type
Warning
Errors That Must Be Fixed
Object Missing a Required Value Object at URL 'www.glansbeton.be/nl/woonbeton/glansbeto...g/ecologische-bouwen' of type 'website' is invalid because a required property 'og:title' of type 'string' was not provided.

Then, on your actual page, if I look at the HTML on your page, there are 2 sets of Open Graph tags. One set is from JFBConnect and the other looks to be hard-coded into the top of your template file. You should remove the extra tags.

I hope that helps get you going, but after you fix those issues, if you still have problems, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

I have now the standard tags placed in With social debug I have a grade A

(Is it possible that K2 makes directly tags from the description, or how can I make tags in or from a article ? Can not find a tutorial in K2 section (is empty for me) )

socialdebug.com/results?url=http%3A%2F%2...2Fecologische-bouwen

There is a problem with Twitter, but it's a minor problem ?

I have now retryed the posting of:

"Natuurlijke materialen zijn weer helemaal trending!"

But still no posting on my own facebook timeline.

JFBConnect provides a few different ways you can set the og:description tag.
1. For K2 items, you can enable the Open Graph - K2 plugin. By default, JFBConnect will then try to grab the description from the first words of the article text.
2. You can set up an Object in JFBConnect > Open Graph > Objects for a specific category if you'd like to specify that the description is generated differently than in #1.
3. You can add an easy-tag to the K2 item, like {SCOpenGraph description=This is a great article!}
4. If you don't do #1-3, JFBConnect will attempt to generate the description from the metadata description on the page, which K2 might set.
5. There is also a default description that you can set which is used if #1-3 aren't done. This can be set in JFBConnect > Open Graph > Configuration.

Natuurlijke materialen zijn weer helemaal trending

Can you provide a translation to English for this?

But still no posting on my own facebook timeline

You have another thread going about an error with your Facebook application settings. Until that is resolved, we should not address this, as it may get cleared up when we fixed the other issue.
