If I link to ANY content from my forum on facebook it does not display the pictures in the preview "as it does" with content from other sites. Youtube was just an example as to other site's content.Comment

Anyone have an idea if this is possible to do with vbulletin or have any of you had success with this on a fanpage or something? Can you provide an example of a working vbulletin facebook preview?Comment

Heres what you see on my facebook when I try and post a facebook link from a forum post that has photos in it.
The photo preview DOES NOT show up at all. The only thing you see is some text and the title of the forum post. Its my understanding that there should be some type of preview photo right???
Check it heres all I get:Comment

Code:[FONT=monospace]<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.camaronation.com/images/misc/vbulletin4_logo.png" />[/FONT]
If you define an og:image in your admincp, that's the og:image that's going to be used for every post.

What I (and I think joeman) want is the first image in a post to be shown on Facebook, not the same predefined image every time a post is shared on Facebook.Comment

Sorry, I thought ", so if you were to remove that line from your Facebook settings in your vBulletin AdminCP, so that when a link is shared, the end-user can choose from all available images" was implied.My Live vB5 Site - NZEating.com

I think I missing something, if I go to my admin control panel > Settings > Options > Facebook Options and then down to where it says:
Specify a URL for an image that you want to represent your site. This image will appear next to published content in a user's newsfeed, as well as be used to represent your site in the Open Graph schema. Leave this blank if you do not want to have an image.
It is left blank. Are you saying that something similar to that meta property="og:image" line should be removed from a template?Comment

Not unless it's been added manually or by a modification. Leaving that line blank shouldn't define an og:image.
What's the URL to a thread on your site with an image that should be available to choose, but isn't?My Live vB5 Site - NZEating.com

If you DON'T specify an og:image (you don't enter a URL for an image in Facebook Options) then Facebook will look for an appropriate thumbnail on your page, but it is hit and miss on if it finds one. It will likely never find an "attachment" but if you use inline images ([IMG] tags) there is a good chance it will find the image.Comment

I too would like to know if this is possible. And if not, is someone able to tell me how I can get my logo to appear on Facebook every time myself or someone Likes a CMS article or thread? I've tried unsuccessfully to get my logo to appear on Facebook each time an article or thread is liked, but so far haven't got it right. All I get is a section of my header appearing when a CMS page is liked, and my avatar image appearing (stretched out and blurry) when a thread is liked. Any help? I started another thread on this but haven't got a response.Comment

Facebook likes a larger, more squarer image then the link provided above- http://www.foromarchiquita.com.ar/Fo...etin4_logo.png
I suggest making an image 300 px wide by 200 to 300 tall and putting your logo on that image, and then specifying that as your facebook image in settings.Comment
