How to get bigg images when posting a url like on Facebook ?

deef73

When posting a url on jomsocial, there are little images or not working images.

Like when posting on facebook I get this image:

The way facebook is posting images I like more. Is there a hack or a update for this ?

Also when you post on linkedin there is a big image: https://prnt.sc/yp6b6u
Or when you tweet on twitter there is a big image: https://prnt.sc/yp6lcs

Hi
Your screenshot posted for facebook is wrong. You are positing a simple webpage URL not a JomSocial item.
When you post on Facebook it use open graph tags to pick correct thumbnail.
If you are sharing a webpage URL and your site does not have the open graph tag it will pick a random image.

So I make a new screenshot for this url:

https://www.glansbeton.be/projecten/
Please check the source. Al the needed og: tags are in this URL

<meta property=og:locale content=nl_NL><meta property=og:title content=PROJECTEN><meta property=og:description content="glansbeton industrievloeren en woonbeton"><meta property=og:type content=article><meta property=og:url content=https://www.glansbeton.be/projecten><meta property=og:image content=https://www.glansbeton.be/media/k2/items/cache/47e29f9fe96a1771642fb05ac8a8fd00_L.jpg><meta property=og:image:width content=1200><meta property=og:image:height content=675><meta property=og:image:secure_url content=https://www.glansbeton.be/media/k2/items/cache/47e29f9fe96a1771642fb05ac8a8fd00_L.jpg><meta property=og:site_name content="Glansbeton Industrievloeren en woonbeton"><meta property=fb:app_id content=842361175883763><meta name=twitter:card content=summary_large_image><meta name=twitter:site content=@glansbeton><meta name=twitter:creator content=@glansbeton><meta name=twitter:title content=PROJECTEN><meta name=twitter:description content="glansbeton industrievloeren en woonbeton"><meta name=twitter:url content=https://www.glansbeton.be/projecten><meta name=twitter:image content=https://www.glansbeton.be/media/k2/items/cache/47e29f9fe96a1771642fb05ac8a8fd00_L.jpg>

Start to type in joomsocial website, no image! https://prnt.sc/ytnbo4

Post on the website --> https://prnt.sc/ytnyo2
Please check you're self on the website --> https://www.offirent.be/stwg3

I don't know what og:tag there has to be on the website more. But I have no control on other websites, the same like facebook twitter has no controll over websites from other webmasters.

Checked on the facebook debug tool:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/?q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.glansbeton.be%2Fprojecten%2F

The thing is just with facebook and twitter there is a good image. This is one of the most important features of a social website I guess.

Kindly check your questions is manipulate the issue.
If you are talking about sharing a web page from your site it's not related to Jomsocial component.
You can find the open graph extension on Joomla extension directory and check with your template provider to add OG tags.

If you are sharing a Jomsocial stream item in Social channel and it's not showing the thumbnail in that case I can assist you with as Sharing any webpage on FB doesn't play any role in Our extension.
Facebook pick a thumbnail auto and show it. If there are Open Graph tags added correctly on your site in that case Facebook will pick the image but you can not force to make it big image. It depends on size of image and Facebook picks that.

Sorry, I don't understand you're answer.

Please look at the first post on this Jomsocial website:

There are og: tags in this url https://www.glansbeton.be/projecten/ but Jomsocial is not finding a image ?

Hi
Jomsocial front page do contain OG tags.
Open graph tags will work when you share a wall stream item. As explain in last post you can not force FB to show only big thumbnail . You can use OG tags extension or define own tags to show static image.
Hope it's clear now

I gonna make it a bit easyer to understand:

Please look at the first post on this Jomsocial website:
https://www.offirent.be/stwg3

Hi
When you share on JomSocial, its nothing related to OG tags, it only loads the page preview. Because the image on this site is unable to load by browser its not showing https://prnt.sc/ywxeyb
http://prntscr.com/ywxga8
It always loads the image in small size due to style is defined in this way. the image thumbnail is set as max width and height 120px http://prntscr.com/ywy4gu
