    Hello,

    I have noticed that since installing the Social Template to my site that whenever I goto post an article or a page on my site to Facebook that the valuable information is not posting correctly on Facebook…

    When posting items to Facebook, it is essential that the Title, Description of what I am posting, AND Thumbnail of the page or logo of the site posts correctly to Facebook.

    Without this information it makes having a “Social” Template POINTLESS

    There are several ways to add this information to the template using Facebook OG however, I cannot find out where the <Head> </Head? information on the template is located.

    Can someone please lead me into the right direction where I can actually edit my <Head></Head> information on my website?

    Thanks!

    Hi,
    From plugins/system/jat3/base-themes/default/blocks, copy file head.php TO templates/ja_social/blocks
    Then open the new file and add your code to the bottom.

    Hi,
    What code you want to remove? I thought you need to find out the head tag as saying in the first post, so the head.php file is head tag’s content.

    Thanks for replying!

    Here is what I need….

    I have double the Facebook Markup Language in my header for some reason.. I have no idea why

    I need to go in there and remove one of the FBML – If I do this then everything should work correctly as far as posting the site to Facebook.

    Every Joomla template that I have ever worked with (besides this one) has a way to edit the <Head></Head> section inside of the EDIT HTML section.

    Where is this located?

    i have followed everything but nothing gives me the exact way to physically look at this information.

    This is the BIGGEST <Head></Head> I have ever seen in my life and I have been doing this for over 10 years

    <html xmlns:fb=”http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml” xmlns=”http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml” xml:lang=”en-gb” lang=”en-gb”>

    </head>

    I need to remove the FBML in this section so that I can have my logo OR image that I have specified in the FBML to show up when users are posting the page to Facebook.

    Keep in mind where you see “” – it means I removed that information for this post because I do not want to post my site inbfo on this site

    Thank you for any help!

    Hi,
    The line: <blockquote>xmlns:fb=”http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml”</blockquote>
    you see is not in head tag, it is added by jafacebookshare plugin.
    In order to remove it, you need to open file: plugins/content/plg_jafacebookshare.php
    Find this code to remove:
    [PHP]$body = JString::str_ireplace(‘<html’, ‘<html xmlns:fb=”http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml”‘, $body, 1);[/PHP]

    which will be the necesary code?
    <meta property=”og:image” content=”” /> – it’s a php string, I guess, that must be between “”. which one?
    thx!
