[Solved] Image preview for facebook sharing

Post by icatian »

Hi all, i've a little problem:
when i "like" a picture from the detail view of my phocagallery i wish to have a thumb of the displayed image instead of a random one from the page (the next image button for example...)
what have i to modify to obtain it?

Hi, I think this is more a question on Facebook developers as the like works for whole site, so some of the image will be selected by facebook framework :-(

And, how to use this info? I am not a programmer but would like to solve problem with FB thumbs too. :x

Using Phoca gallery 2.81, Joomla 1.5.23, testing on localhost (Xampp 1.7.3, windows XP).

I tested several Social share components for Joomla 1.5, NONE of them works for me properly on Phoca detail image page. I can share particular page, but can`t show images thumb on FB page. FB shows only link to my localhost, and that link works fine, but no one would click on it if they don`t see image thumb.

Other similiar components works fine (HWD Photoshare, Joomgallery etc.).

Is there ANY solution to solve this problem with Phoca gallery for J15? Phoca is GREAT component, however, this FB like and share option is very important and it is not working. :idea:
