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:
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:
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:
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

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.  |
Thank you.
