I really don't know enough about Facebook and their code to help out on this.

Really? You're one of the top people at vBulletin and you "can't help" with Facebook?

Wow.

You can't explain why the Blog and the Forum, when their links are Shared or physically-added to a Facebook wall, that those links display a list of images to select from ... while this custom page does NOT?

Really? You can't explain that or give help to overcome this?

Impressive. Thanks.

Your negative reply to Lynne is not a pleasant invitation for others to help you. You might want to rethink abusing the volunteers in this community. This is an enthusiast community for vBulletin, and is not official vBulletin support. If you would like help please be nice, we try to be. :)

Correct, and just because some one is considered a "top person" does not mean they know all there is to know about vBulletin, or a third party integration such as Facebook, I my self have over 60 mods released, and I could not tell you one thing about it, I don't even have a Facebook page. :)

When I have a chance I will take a look at your code, but I am currently working on a backlog of tasks for other vbulletin.org members.

Believe me, I know how frustrating things are when they don't work as intended, or as you would like them to. I have spent many hours yelling at my screen when things don't go my way. :p

The people here will do their best to help anyone out, and yes it can get quite aggravating when things just won't cooperate, but patience is a virtue.

Hopefully someone here has ran into the issue before, and can help out. :)

I would appreciate this greatly.

I have been working on the customization of this site for 2 years, and we're ready to launch. The entire sum & substance of our functionality and advertisement hinges on these custom image pages being able to be "Shared" onto Facebook walls ... so the author of this tutorial "not knowing how" to connect and override to FB is no small omission.

Thanks again.

Here is an example of one of our Image pages:

http://www.macrophotopro.com/advertisements/share.jpg

I have coded the button to share the post to the person's wall, successfully, but instead of presenting a thumbnail of the desired photo, all that is being posted is a thumbnail of my forum logo, as such:

http://www.macrophotopro.com/adverti...ailedshare.jpg
Failed vBulletin Custom Share showing Forum Logo

I don't want my forum logo displayed; I want a thumbnail of the desired image displayed. I cannot figure out how to override this glitch and include the desired picture in the Facebook popup for posting, rather than my logo.

I know it is possible to get the desired image, and I thought I had coded it as such. For example, in the vBulletin Blog, when I use the Facebook Share Button there, I see the image I am trying to share *plus* the option for other images on the page:

http://www.macrophotopro.com/adverti...logsucceed.jpg
Successful Blog Post Share showing Desired Image

When using the Blog, if I post the same 2 images and try to share them there, when the "Share pop-up" displays, you will notice that not only is the individual image that I want available to share, but that I have a total list of the 2 photos I can sort through and select from to share as well ... but I get no such thing from this vBulletin custom page!

Again, here is my code:

Code:

<html>

<head>

        <meta property='fb:app_id' content='473597412755690' />

        <meta property='og:site_name' content='Nature Photography Resource & Database' />

        <meta property='og:description' content='Online community for dedicated macro photographers worldwide.' />

        <meta property='og:url' content='http://www.macrophotopro.com' />

        <meta property='og:type' content='website' />

        <meta property='og:image' content='http://www.macrophotopro.com/thumbnails/1/1_thumb_0000000548_tiny.jpg'>

</head>

        

<body>

        <div id='fb-root'></div>

        <script>(function(d, s, id) {

                  var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];

                  if (d.getElementById(id)) return;

                  js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;

                  js.src = '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=473597412755690';

                  fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);

        }

        (document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));

        </script>

        

        

        <div class='fb-share-button' data-href='http://www.macrophotopro.com/' data-type='button_count'>

        </div>

</body>

</html>

It is as if all the "meta" tags on this custom page are being completely ignored by something inside vBulletin. Yet somehow they are able to get through on the forum and blog postings. I tried to follow the FB Developer instructions, and it simply doesn't work. I believe this is beyond a FB problem, it's a problem intrinsic to some omission in this vBulletin custom page, and it's driving me nuts.

What do I have to do to get the desired pic to override the default posting of the vBulletin logo? I am willing to pay for this $ervice, so PM me your price!

Thank you,

Jack

Thank you.

I added you to my cue. Actually, I added you several days ago, but since I had a backlog already I did not answer. Obviously, I have to mock this up and it will be a three-four days minimum before I can get into it. Some members here have been waiting for my time for four weeks since my work sent me to Sochi for the Olympics. If you can be patient I can help.
