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:

[font=Courier New][red][size=3]<?php print $metaogimage; ?>[/size=3][/red][/font=Courier New]

you must have "[red]socialmedia[/red]" in the [purple]$detailpagelayout[/purple] parameter, like this [maroon]includes.php[/maroon] entry:

[font=Courier New][purple]$detailpagelayout[/purple]="productname, navigation, productimage, dateadded, sku, reviewstarslarge, socialmedia, description, manufacturerlink, options, listprice, discounts, price, quantitypricing, quantity, addtocart, checkoutbutton, [red]socialmedia[/red], reviews, previousnext";[/font=Courier New]

And that requirement is really something I think should be changed; a topic now added to [url="https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=113439"][blue]the Suggestion Forum here[/blue][/url]. Add a comment to support if you agree.

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

As for Facebook Images, [url="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/webmasters/images/"][blue]this Facebook Developers page here[/blue][/url] explains all you need to know about Image Sizes.

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