wrong homepage image when sharing in facebook

Hello,
One more question. When I share an article in facebook all is ok, it is shared with the correct image ans text.
But if I try to share the homepage, facebook show several images that are not the logo. How could I fix an image to be showed when I share the homepage?? I'd like to show the logo for example or a banner, but facebook just show me different article images.
Thanks

Hi

If You want to use logo than best way would be to set this manually for homepage. Make sure Open Graph plugin is installed and than You will be able to determine og:image for any page.

Or You can add a code to /layout/blocks/head.php which will handle same action but from PHP side:

Code: Select all

<?php
if( JRequest::getVar('Itemid') == id-of-your-frontpage-goes-here ):
print '<meta property="og:image" content="path-to-the-file-you-want-to-use-in-facebook-share" />';
endif;
?>


Ok, thanks I'll try with that.
Anyway, I don't have the OG plugin installed but when I share something in facebook I don't have any problem...

Hi

That's because articles from joomla and K2 got it's own code to create open graph meta tags. Problem may appear only on frontpage, where users are able to hide component. My script will make sure to create an extra meta details for this case only.
