Random image on FB in homepage link

[Karolina.herbarium]

Hi

When I'm posting my homepage link on Facebook it shows it with random image (usually its one of the products image). Is there any chance to change it so I can choose what image I would like to show with my homepage link on FB?

 

Thanks for help!

 

BTW.

I'm using apfarm template and have 1 year support but they say they can't change it

you need to use some module that will build custom open graph tags for your website

Do you have any specific-one in mind?

I think that you need this: https://www.prestashop.com/forums/topic/303359-free-module-facebook-open-graph-tags/

I used this module for it but it looks like it doesn't work with my website .

I cleared all cache from cache/smartycompile, cache/smarty/cache and img/tmp but it didn't change anything.

Any ideas?

You can also hardcode the OP-code in your themes "header.tpl". Add the "meta property" Right under the {$HOOK_HEADER} If you want to change the picture you just replace it with a FTP-program or through your hosts control panel. It will only show one image though. Not sure about what you need, but in many cases this will work out ok.

 

<meta property="og:title" content="title_goes_here">

<meta property="og:description" content="description_goes_here">

<meta property="og:image" content="full_path_to_your_image_here">

<meta property="og:url" content="your_webpage_here">

<meta property="og:type" content="website">

<meta property="fb:app_id" content="facebook_address_here" />

 

Also remember to turn on force compile and no caching in your BO under "Performance" when you have made modifications to your theme files

Doesn't change anything as far as I can tell. Frankly I am a little surprised that Prestashop doesn't do this out of the box. I shouldn't have to be monkeying with this or buying a module. It should just work in native code.

 

{$HOOK_HEADER}

        <meta property="og:title" content="The Creambelt Seed Company - Untreated and Organic Heirloom Garden Seeds" />

        <meta property="og:description" content="Buy Untreated and Certified Organic Garden Seeds to Grow Heirloom and Open-Pollinated Vegetables, Flowers, and Herbs" />

        <meta property="og:url" content="http://creambelt.com" />

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