og:image -- how to get the image from the entry to show up on Facebook when shared
How Do I?
I am trying to get FB to show the image from an entry when sharing, instead of showing a random image from the entire page. I know I need to tell FB where to find the image, but nothing I’ve tried has worked. This is my current iteration (yes, it’s from EE1.73, but I have the same problem on EE2.x sites):
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{master_weblog_name}"}
<meta property="og:url" content="{title_permalink=v2_5/comments}" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:title" content="{title}" />
<meta property="og:description" content="{body}" />
<meta property="og:image" content="{path='{trimmed_url}'/ee/images/uploads/'{post_image}'}" />
<meta property="og:locale" content="en_US" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
{/exp:weblog:entries}The site is westportnow.com
HELP! And thank you. Lee
The Facebook Open Graph debugger has been of some help to us as we have attempted to solve this issue. It’s not exclusive to EE, because we are seeing the same issue in two other CMS systems we routinely use.

Thank you, I’ve used the debugger and it helped me troubleshoot another problem.
But I still don’t know what to use for og:image!
