Hi!

How can the product image can be show when sharing a link to Facebook?

There an exemple here, but I think it need some PHP programming to generate the appropriate code to link the product images.

Hi Guy, in the head of your proddetail.php page, try adding
<meta property="og:type" content="product" />
<?php print $metaogimage;?>

Then check the page source in the browser and see if you see the output
It should provide the "og" image tag with the product photo.

For .asp I have
<meta property="og:type" content="product" />
<%=metaogimage%>

Unfortunately, it's not working for me.

Above that, try adding this

include "vsadmin/inc/metainfo.php";

I'm sure Phil can get you sorted Guy.
Apologies, but my earlier post of adding this include "vsadmin/inc/metainfo.php"; would actually need to be <?php include "vsadmin/inc/metainfo.php";?> I believe.

In any case, I'm sure Phil can help.

Thanks,
David

I know how Phil is capable!

Thanks David!

I will throw in one tip ...

For this line to work:

<?php print $metaogimage; ?>

you must have "socialmedia" in the $detailpagelayout parameter, like this includes.php entry:

$detailpagelayout="productname, navigation, productimage, dateadded, sku, reviewstarslarge, socialmedia, description, manufacturerlink, options, listprice, discounts, price, quantitypricing, quantity, addtocart, checkoutbutton, socialmedia, reviews, previousnext";

And that requirement is really something I think should be changed; a topic now added to the Suggestion Forum here. Add a comment to support if you agree.

In the ECT Image Manager, the $metaogimage will target the 1st GIANT image (recommended), if none then the 1st LARGE, if none then the 1st SMALL.

As for Facebook Images, this Facebook Developers page here explains all you need to know about Image Sizes.

Minimum 200 x 200 pixels.
Best 1200 x 630 pixels.

Regards, Gary
