Need a little help with configuration

The above statement is the cause for the problem. Facebook cannot access your site. Until your site goes live and the scraper can get to the real content on the page, the only information it can get from your page are from the following two metatags. There are no og image tags on the page that Facebook can see, unless you visit the page to activate the site, which Facebook has no knowledge of how to do this.

<base href="http://bilasidan.is/" />
<meta name="description" content="Allt um bíla, hvort sem þú ert að kaupa, selja eða sækist eftir upplýsingum. Þá er þetta staðurinn fyrir þig." />

Until it's live, this will remain the behavior, as expected. I wouldn't consider it a problem for now.

Melissa - you are a genius .. this was so simple and at the same time really silly of me not knowing this. I am so sorry for waisting your time on such a silly matter! Thank you so much

I launched the site and the share button now show's the correct info. However it does not show the default image I wanted it to show.
It show's a random image of a site and if none a facebook logo (out of shape) instead of showing the custom image in path bilasidan.is/images/myndir/logo2.png
You can see this on screenshot

Also it show's some module commands. is that normal? you can see so on the screenshot where it say's [module-263]

EDIT - One more thing. Is it somehow possible for me to have the SCLogin module completely override the stock joomla module?
I have a message portal on the website - if users get a new message they get a email notification about that. In that notification is a link to the message. When the users visits that link they are promped to log in but it comes up with the joomla login. once they are logged in through that they are forced to they'r profile instead of the message that the link was pointing them to..
Is there some way for me to have your SCLogin system take over that feature and once users are logged in they are directed to the message?

Thank you for your reply!

The site is still offline. Whenever you put it online, Facebook will take a few days to re-scan your content and fetch the new, updated tags. To have Facebook immediately scan and re-cache the tags, you'll want to use the Facebook URL Debug Tool.

Yes I put it offline again. I will have to give it few days after the site goes live then I guess. thank you

The link to the Login page should have ?return=xyz type parameter. The standard Joomla login page should respect that. If not, you may have the System - JomSocial Redirect plugin enabled, which can force a user to their profile.

On the Login page, you can have the JFBConnect social login buttons automatically show by setting the "Integrate with Joomla Login" setting to "Yes" in JFBConnect.

I hope that helps, but if you need anything else, let us know.

I am not sure how I can add the ?return=xyz type parameter. will ask the developer of that extension to check that
I tried to disable system - redirect in plugin manager but that did not matter.
I do get the fb/twitter login buttons when the login page appears but using that allso directs me to the profile page.

So I guess my only option is to hope that the developer can add the ?return rule parameter to the urls? Really annoying that the joomla login feature does not have this feature built in.

No problem. Again, you can use the Facebook URL Debug Tool to scan your pages and have individual URLs updated immediately. That's good to do on any 'critical' pages while you wait for Facebook to automatically re-scan the others.

Thank you will remember that when I go live

What is redirecting to the profile page? In JFBConnect, we have a setting for New User Redirection and Returning User Redirection. Is that set to "Profile Page"? If not, it sounds like some other extension is performing the redirect there and you'll need to determine what.

there login/logout redirection is set to same page. as seen on screenshot. I guess i'll need to find if and then what's messing with this.
The things that are redirecting to the profile page are links from emails such as message notifications etc. if I send a message to a user, he recives a notification email.in that email is a link to that message. he clicks that and is promped to log in. once loged in eather with username/password or with facebook / Twitter he is reirected to profile instead of the message.

Joomla does. If you set an article to "Registered", when a user tries to view it, they'll be brought to the login page with the ?return=.. param set. When they login, they'll be brought back to it. It sounds like something else is hijacking the login process.
