First let me say I am impressed with the product.

One thing I am trying to do is make it when someone shares or likes an article on my front page ( www.pdxlan.net/home ) - I want the facebook post to *always* use my default image. ( www.pdxlan.net/home/images/banners/MLB_150x150.jpg )

I am sure it is a simple fix, and I am missing a setting somewhere.

Thanks in advance!

The best way to do that is likely adding a custom HTML module with the title turned off. In the HTML area, simply add:
{SCOpenGraph image=http://www.pdxlan.net/home/images/banners/MLB_150x150.jpg}
Have that module set to only show on the home page, and you should be good to go.

If you need more assistance though, just let us know. Also, please post from the account you subscribed to JFBConnect from. It makes it easier for us to lookup your account and debug history.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks for the info, sorry about the account - I used FB today to login. Ironic <3

So I tried the work-around, no luck.

Next idea?

Actually, I think it is working.. and I don't think that module is necessary :)

When you add Open Graph to your site, it can take Facebook a few days to 'see' the new tags. You can run your page through their URL Debug Tool to check what they see and update their cache at the same time. Looking at your site, the correct og:image tag is actually in there twice. Once from your module and the other, I'm assuming, because you set it as a default in the Open Graph -> Configuration -> Defaults area.

So, I think you're good to go... but please try again or let us know if you still have issues!

Thanks,
Alex
