JFBConnect supports Open Graph tags, which is what sets the title, description and image to be used when shared. The easiest way to set the OG tags is by enabling our Open Graph plugins that come with JFBConnect for any extensions you have installed. Those plugins will try to auto-detect good settings to use. You can also set your own tags on any specific page with our EasyTags, like:Issue1: But when sharing an article in FB the article appears but NOT the Image.
{SCOpenGraph image=http://site.com/link-to-image.jpg}There's another extension that's trying to load the Facebook Javascript library on your site and it's conflicting with JFBConnect. If you run the Autotune Error Check tool, you should see the following error:Issue2: when tying to login with the FB credentials it doesn´t seem to work as well.
Test: Facebook Javascript library inclusion
Fail: Another Facebook extension is installed, including the Facebook Javascript library, and may conflict.This is not normal Joomla functionality. I don't know how that setting affect the article or how Seblod alters the triggers, plugins and other functionality of normal content that JFBConnect expects to see.B - So, I thought what is changed and the only thing I found is: the author is changed! The last article instead to be wrote from the "Super User" was wrote from a Multiple Groups user (Registered and Author included). So, I tried changing the author to Super User and re publishing the article and... it RUN !!! Why ?!?
All Open Graph plugins are disabled by default. I'd recommend enabling any that you plan to use, like Open Graph Content. The Custom Object lets you manually set Open Graph tags for a specific group of pages. That may be helpful, but can be complex.1 - in first of all I looked for "Open Graph" in my Joomla Extensions plugins and I found two: "Open Graph - Custom Object" and "Open Graph - Content". Both disabled... Is it right ? Have they to be disabled ? When I install a new JFBConnect extension have I to enable them manually ?
Use the Facebook Open Graph Debug Tool and enter your URL into it. Otherwise, you can wait ~1-2 weeks for Facebook to automatically re-scan your pages.2 - you told me: "Once you do add the tags to your page, you will need to re-scrape them manually to make sure the change has taken effect". Please, what do you mean with "re-scrape" ? And, please, how to do it exactly ?
They can go anywhere in the content that will be displayed on the page. So, if your full article view *does not* display the intro text, don't put the tags in the intro text. Top or bottom doesn't make a difference.3 - As you explained me and as wrote in the documentation, in case of "Per-Page Overrides" ..."use the following format in an Joomla article, custom HTML module, template file, or anywhere else on the page"..., Where is it better to add tags ? In case to add them directly into the content article, Where is the best position ? (at the begin, at the end...in the intro, in the content)
Image is the only one we'd recommend setting a default tag for. Others are best to let JFBConnect automatically detect.4 - About "Default Site-Wide Open Graph Easy-Tags" in the configuration I haven't set nothing yet. ..."a good example is to set your logo as a default image tag"... and, please, What else is good to set ?
If you already are using an extension to manage your Open Graph tags or are using only one main extension for all of your content, you can disable the OG tags in JFBConnect. For example, if you use Seblod for almost all content of your site and if Seblod sets Open Graph tags already, then you can tell JFBConnect to not set those tags. That setting is a site-wide setting though, so if you skip a tag, it won't be set on any page of your site.5 - "Configuration - Skip Tags" - Please, Can you give me any examples when it can be helpful ? How to set it ?
Alex, I'm speaking about the normal article author and his ACL ! The standard joomla's feature. Using the "Super User" as article author all is ok, changing it with a Registered / Author (standards joomla ACL) don't run - (Please, see the point 2 before to answer)This is not normal Joomla functionality. I don't know how that setting affect the article or how Seblod alters the triggers, plugins and other functionality of normal content that JFBConnect expects to see.
Apologies. When I read it, I thought you were saying you had selected multiple authors for the article, which some CCK's do support.Alex, I'm speaking about the normal article author and his ACL !

You'd only need the Content plugin enabled. The Custom Object plugin is for advanced cases where you want to automatically apply a specific Open Graph tag to a large swath of your pages (like all of them, or anything with option=com_blah in the query string). The custom object plugin is not necessary for normal Open Graph operation or Easy-Tag parsing.. so I'd recommend disabling it entirely.1 - Plugins "Open Graph - Custom Object" and "Open Graph - Content" = What I don't understand is if these two plugins need to be enabled to have JFBConnect automatically detect Open Graph easy-tags. Is the "Open Graph - Content" plugin the plugin that permit to let JFBConnect automatically detect tags ?
Being Seblod joomla articles, with the "Open Graph - Content" disabled or enabled I have back two different results. Please see the attached images:
If the Open Graph - Content plugin is *disabled*, then the og:image warning is accurate. Since we (and no other extension) is setting the og:image tag, Facebook can't see one is complaining. Do you get a similar warning when our plugin is enabled?2 - Running the "Facebook Open Graph Debug Tool" - with "Open Graph - Content" plugin disabled - "Super User" and/or "Author" is the same, yes, now they are running both. I have back:
Warnings That Should Be Fixed
- Inferred Property = The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
- Meta with name instead of property = The meta tag on the page was specified with name 'author', which matches a configured property of this object type. It will be ignored unless specified with the meta property attribute instead of the meta name attribute.
