Hi xumbrella,

Please enable JA Lazyload plugin and try to edit pluginssystemjalazyloadjalazyload.php

replace

JResponse::setBody($body);

to

if(JRequest::getCmd('option') == 'com_content' && JRequest::getVar('view') == 'article' && JRequest::getInt('id')){

$db = JFactory::getDbo();
$query = $db->getQuery(true);
$query->select('images');
$query->from('#__content');
$query->where('id = ' . JRequest::getInt('id'));
$db->setQuery($query);

$images = $db->loadResult();

if($images && strlen($images) > 0){
$images = json_decode($images);

if($images && $images->image_intro){
$body = str_replace ('</head>', '<meta property="og:image" content="' . $images->image_intro . '" />' . "n" . '</head>', $body);
}
}
}

JResponse::setBody($body);

Please pm ftp/admin information to me so I can check it on your site.

Regards

Hi, I updated the code and cleared both browser cache and joomla cache but it still does not post the image… I also notice that using IFTTT that it is unable to post images, is that to the same fault?

I will PM you the admin.. please let me know if you can work out why this does not work correctly.

thanks

@ xumbrella,

I have updated the file on your site. Please clear the system cache and try again.
You may need to wait for some days for Facebook to refresh their cache too.

I just replaced:

$body = str_replace ('</head>', '<meta property="og:image" content="' . $images->image_intro . '" />' . "n" . '</head>', $body);

with:

$body = str_replace ('</head>', '<meta property="og:image" content="' . JUri::base() . $images->image_intro . '" />' . "n" . '</head>', $body);

Hope it helps.

@ xumbrella,

It seems you select not to get cache the youtube image in the past.
Those article which you make a test seems old.

I just make change:

if($images && $images->image_intro){
$body = str_replace ('</head>', '<meta property="og:image" content="' . JUri::base() . $images->image_intro . '" />' . "n" . '</head>', $body);
}

to

if($images && $images->image_intro){
if(!(strpos($images->image_intro, 'http') === 0 || strpos($images->image_intro, '//') === 0)){
$images->image_intro = JUri::base() . $images->image_intro;
}

$body = str_replace('</head>', '<meta property="og:image" content="' . $images->image_intro . '" />' . "n" . '</head>', $body);
}


You can use this tool to check if the image working.

The facebook cache can be 24 hours.

@ xumbrella,

As your article is video, there was no image to show.
I just tried to make the image of video available to open graph protocol. Facebook will crawl that data and display.
