og:image does not use Joomla article image(s) was created by nettstudio

Hi,

For some reason JFBConnect does not use the actual article image for og:image, why? Looking at the code you search the article text for <img> tags and use that, never adding the article image, why? The article image should always be used if it exists.

quickfix:

    protected function getFirstImage($article)
    {
        if (isset($article->text))
            $articleText = $article->text;
        else
            $articleText = $article->introtext . $article->fulltext;

        $fullImagePath = $this->getFirstImageFromText($articleText);
        $json = json_decode($article->images, true);
        if ( !empty($json['image_fulltext']) ) {
            $fullImagePath = $json['image_fulltext'];
        }
        
        return $fullImagePath;
    }

JFBConnect provides an option to select which image to use when you set up an Object in the Social Meta area, whether it be the first image in an article, the article image, the category image, a custom image, etc. You can see in the Open Graph plugin for Joomla (plugins/opengraph/content.php) in the setOpenGraphTags method. We don't automatically set tags on pages unless the user has configured an object, used an Easy Tag or set up a default value, as there are many other extensions that we have to play nicely with.
