Mike Kranzler Posted September 21, 2011 Share Posted September 21, 2011 Hi TyMaNas and Mentor, Can you please post screenshots of your respective issues so that I can have a better idea of what you're looking for? -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyMaNaS Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 For example this is my product page: http://www.dameja.lt...?id_product=119 Look at description "Stiklas, bižuterinis metalas. Ilgis su užsegimu 7,5cm." When i post the same link on facebook wall i get this : You see that product description has encoding problems, i don't know where is the problem. In my webpage product's description encoding is ok, but when I share it on facebook... Please help me, I searched everywhere, but i can't find a solution.

Mike Kranzler Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Hi TyMaNas, This is something I've noticed myself on Facebook recently across plenty of websites, even ones that aren't PrestaShop sites. Fortunately, I think Facebook's team has noticed this as well, because they now allow you to edit those fields easily. Try clicking on the title or description and see if it lets you type your own description. I hope this helps. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TyMaNaS Posted September 22, 2011 Author Share Posted September 22, 2011 Ok it helped me, thank you Mike Kranzler. I hope Facebook's team will fix this soon. One more question, why it is showing my site's logo when I share product on facebook. How can I share my product's picture ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Kranzler Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Same thing as with the text, Facebook grabs what they think is relevant. You'll see though in the screenshot you provided that they actually give you two image options with the arrows directly above "Be paveiksliuko." Sometimes it'll grab significantly more than that, but you'd be amazed by what their script interprets as relevant from time to time. Does this answer your question? If so, please mark this as solved by editing the topic title. -Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
