I’m trying to get content pulled in to Facebook using the following code in my head.

Facebook takes the text from my ‘summary’ field as its description but fails to get the image I specify?

{exp:channel:entries channel="news" url_title="{segment_3}"}
<meta property="og:description" content="{summary}" />
<meta property="og:image" content="{image}"/>
{/exp:channel:entries}

Hello lotusman,

Thank you for posting your question here on the ExpressionEngine forums.

Can you show me how you are posting this to FB? Are you using an Add-On?

Cheers,

Hey Shane,
Thanks for your reply.

We are using the Social Update module which does its stuff and connects to FB.

We are trying to get FB Opengraph to recognize the specified EE image field without success?

Hey lotusman,

I am not sure why this is not working.

Can you contact the Social Update developer? He may have more of an idea.

Thank you,

Yep, we’re looking at that, but it seems this is more of a FB taking info from the EE field and wondered if anyone else had come across a similar issue with FB integration in general.

OK. We have this running smoothly now.

As with many things something simple, the image field was actually a text field with an image embedded in-line so EE was generating extra tags we didn’t need…

Still, an excuse to clean up some more code:)
