Hi
The issue in short: when sharing a post in Facebook, it seems that Facebook itself has some issues with image urls generated by Joomla, as they add something like
#joomlaImage://local-images/imagename.jpg
after the "normal" path for the article image.
I've been searching and reading stuff to try to figure out a solution, to no avail. Is there any known solution for this issue? In case no, would it be possible to filter image urls retrieved from Joomla intro/full images and remove the hash and everything after it from the plugin code?
Thanks in advance!

Re: Phoca Opengraph plugin - Issues with images when sharing on Facebook
Ok, I implemented a workaround that gets this fixed for me, just in case someone else finds it useful: just add the following code at line 87 in plugins/content/phocaopengraph/phocaopengraph.php
This way, if the image URL contains a hash character, it and everything after it will be removed from the url that will be used in the og:image parameter.
Would be nice if this could be added as an option in the plugin settings :).
Cheers!
Code: Select all
if (strpos($linkImg, '#') !== false){
$hashpos = strpos($linkImg, '#');
$linkImg = substr($linkImg, 0, $hashpos);
}

Hi, which version of Phoca Open Graph plugin do you use?
Phoca Open Graph uses the clean function for images:

function realCleanImageUrl($img) {

$img = $imgClean->url;
}
return $img;
}
