When someone clicks like the text that goes on Facebook is:
Premium responsive Joomla template developed by JoomlArt – JA Lens. This responsive template supports K2 component, and suits best for portfolio sites.

I have checked the meta tags for the page they are:
<meta http-equiv=”content-type” content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″ />
<meta name=”keywords” content=”Kent, Rebekah Tate, Artist” />
<meta name=”description” content=”Rebekah Tate, young artist from Kent.” />
<meta name=”generator” content=”Joomla! – Open Source Content Management” />

so what is going wrong and how do I sort it?

Thanks in adavance

Figured it out. Needed to reset at facebook’s end. In addition changing components/com_k2/views/item/view.html.php as follows makes facebook show correct image:

// Load Facebook meta tag for item image
$facebookImage = ‘image’.$params->get(‘facebookImage’,’Small’);
$document->setMetaData(‘image’,substr(JURI::root(),0,-1).str_replace(JURI::root(true),”,$item->$facebookImage));

to
// Load Facebook meta tag for item image
$facebookImage = ‘og:image’.$params->get(‘facebookImage’,’Small’);
$document->setMetaData(‘image’,substr(JURI::root(),0,-1).str_replace(JURI::root(true),”,$item->$facebookImage));
