Product image not showing on Facebook

[Pez]

Hello. I'm having problems getting product images to show up when my shop is linked on Facebook. Usually when you paste a link onto Facebook they'll find a thumbnail for it. In the past it used to grab the wrong one first (the accessories) but at least I could click through and find the right picture. Ever since switching to the new image system, Facebook can't even find a thumbnail at all.

 

I do a lot of marketing on social networks so this is really important for my shop. Would anyone please help? Thanks.

 

This is my site: http://www.coscraft.co.uk/ and I'm using PS 1.4.5.1.

Hello,

 

I had the same problem when I have integrate Facebook links for a client site. I have used Facebook OpenGraph protocol to solve it : you can then define the image to show in Facebook.

I hope this will help you.

Thanks, Optim'Informatique. Can you tell me how to get the opengraph to work? I have tried to do this for a long time now by following instruction from past threads but nothing worked.

Update: after a forced recompile at the Back Office, all the changes I made in attempt to get og:image working for Facebook has been undone, and now at least Facebook will find some pictures, I just have to click through them to find the right one.

 

Has anyone found a way to get the og:image meta tag working with the new image system yet?

<meta property="og:type" content="product" />

<link rel="image_src" href="{$link->getImageLink($product->link_rewrite, $id_image, 'large')}" />

<meta property="og:type" content="product" />

<link rel="image_src" href="{$link->getImageLink($product->link_rewrite, $id_image, 'large')}" />

 

Hi. I just tried this but it didn't work, the link it created was just img/p/-large.jpg. Could it be because I'm using the new image system?

I'm using new system, upgrade from 1.3.7 to 1.4.3 and now 1.4.5

Move old image to the new hierarchy of 1.4, check NO to "Legacy" over BO

This piece of code just work well for me:

<meta property="og:type" content="product" />
<link rel="image_src" href="{$link->getImageLink($product->link_rewrite, $id_image, 'large')}" />

edit on fbopengraph.tpl

 

at first i encounter the problem for main site URL only, since it's show the wrong image, but found that the cause is because i used different file format for logo, correct some code or just give the very same image the extension it's need to work properly.
