How do you set JFB connect to make the full article image the og:image was created by JimDee

I've enabled the OG Content plugin, but can't seem to get what I want. For example, in this URL:

www.theskanner.com/news/newsbriefs/25544...rth-portland-library

... the full article image is that pic of the library at the top of the article. However, there is also an image inside the article of a woman's head shot. For some reason, JFBConnect seems to be selecting that head-shot as the og:image tag. I'd rather have the og:image tag always automatically be the full-article image.

Is this possible?

(ps I know I can manually assign the image inside the article using the bracketed command. But, this site has 20,000 articles and that would not be doable. So, I'm wondering if I can instruct JBFConnect to just always use the full article image, if there is one.)

You shouldn't need to edit 20,000 pages manually

Do the following:
* Go to the Plugin Manager and enable the Open Graph - Content plugin.
* Go to the JFBConnect -> Open Graph area
* Create a new Object for Joomla Content - Articles
* Set the type to 'article' and check "Built-in Facebook Object"
* On the right side, set the category to 'Root' or 'Top Level' so that this object applies to all articles on the site
* Set the Image to Article Intro Image or Article Full Image (whichever works for your site)

I didn't detail each parameter above, but hopefully that gets you going. If not, or you have any questions, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex
