    Hi guys,

    I’m finally getting back to my own personal site which is now running Wall. I’ve noticed a few problems and was wondering if anyone else had the same experience on their site?

    1. When I go to share my page link on Facebook – whether it be the home page or an article – it is not pulling over thumbnail images to Facebook. (See screenshot below)

    2. The second error I’m finding is with the “Full Article Image” – When you click on the article sometimes you will see the full article image and other times you see a little black dot. After I refresh the page the dot will disappear and the image is back. Perhaps it is a Google Chrome issue? I’m not sure…

    3. If anyone wants to take a gander at what I have so far, please feel free to do so. I hope the general population is able to view the site without errors. Live site address – Click here.

    Thanks in advance,
    Jessica

    By the way.
    Most feedback from support just says to disable the lazy load plug in…well I did that.
    Still does not work.
    same problem as you described above.
    Thanks for any help

    I know how to fix that problem for K2, but I’m not sure if it would apply to Joomla articles. And that requires hacking the core.

    Regardless, Lazyload plugin has been updated to 1.0.2 a few days ago. If not mistaken it has the social bot exclusion code I asked for. Might want to give that a shot.

    Hi jwellman,

    First, please update lazy plugin.

    Then, when it checked by facebook developer : https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fjessicasjournal.com%2F, it throws the error:

    [PHP]
    Inferred Property The ‘og:url’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    Inferred Property The ‘og:title’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    Inferred Property The ‘og:description’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    Inferred Property The ‘og:image’ property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
    [/PHP]

    and view source your site, meta key
    [PHP]
    <meta property=”og:image” …..
    [/PHP]

    is null. So, i think the share is limited. Please go to administrator -> plugin -> JA System Lazyload Plugin and set “Share Limit” more than

    Hi, I had the same problem and updating LazyLoad plugin I solved.

    I solved on Facebook but not on Google+ where the image still doesn’t appear (or a thumbnail not related to the original article appears)

    Hi MoonSailor,
    Thank you for trying to help. I downloaded the latest plugin and changed the property from 5 to 20 but it is still not working for me. 🙁

    Depending on how the images are added into the article, the code that defines the path to the image may need to be modified. For example on my website, I used a 3rd party image plugin and that requires me to change image to image1 but then again, that’s for my own custom og code.

    I see that lazyload generates meta property=”og:image” on it’s own now but it’s using a Large image, not sure why. Regardless, that field shouldn’t be empty. Could you look at the source code of your article in item view and post back the value of that meta property?

    I was using the standard Joomla feature to add images: See Screenshot here.

    I decided to try and insert the image using my editor (with the full URL address) and now it works. Great…looks like I have a bunch of articles to edit.

    Well crud… By inserting images like that (in the editor) it is now taking away the text I had written under each photo. See screenshot I have refreshed, emptied cache, yada yada… no text.

    Well, it’s kind of a pain but I found a temporary work around. I went back to the “Images and Links” tab and when it asked me to choose an image from the media files I inserted the complete URL in the little box (versus letting Joomla shorten the link) and now it’s working.

    For anyone using the “Insert Image” area (Screenshot of the area I’m talking about) try this for a work-a-round (see Screenshot #2 for further explanation)

    Hopefully someone will share an easier route!

    Sorry folks… I thought it was working by changing all the URL’s but it’s not. Since changing the lazy loader from 5 to 20 I can now share my home page link and have the option to choose between five thumbnails on Facebook, but still nothing when sharing an article. I’ll keep trying different things to see what I’m doing wrong.

    I tried to edit my post above to remove the screenshots (since it didn’t help) but for some reason my edit button is gone. I thought we could edit our posts but it must be set on a timer.

    Sorry for the late reply. Was too busy fixing my own site that I forgot about this. Anyway, I found the link to your site so was able to run it through facebook debugger.

    Your problem is very simple actually. The reason why facebook is unable to grab the thumbnail is because the image url it’s picking up is wrong. http://www.yourdomain.com/http://yourdomain.com/images/Blooms/Flowers/flowers_crate.jpg

    I removed your domain name in case you wanted to keep it private. As for the fix to that, I need to first figure out what causes it and how Joomla generate that first image. If you were using K2, this would be easy but still doesn’t matter. Give me some time to look at your site in more details and I’ll try to get back with a solution.
