Hello all,

I am creating a photography database application, so sharing pictures is an absolute must. When a person is on the "view pic" page, a facebook link is there as well so that the person can share the pic on facebook.

I am able to post to the person's wall, but I cannot figure out how to include the picture in the Facebook popup for posting. It's driving me nuts.

Before I make the dynamic solution to this problem, my goal is to first establish a static proof-of-concept. Here is the html I am using in the root directory. Notice I am intending on using the Facebook OpenGraph tool to a linked picture:

It is as if all the custom "meta" tags are being completely ignored.

How can I include a custom pic in my Facebook Shares? Your help is greatly appreciated.

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>

A pic of what happens when I click the Facebook button is shown in the attached Pic (notice that other metatags are also being completely ignored.)

This is the picture that SHOULD be appearing on the Share:

However, the attached below (my forum logo) is what's actually getting displayed. What do I have to do to get the desired pic to override the default posting of the logo?

Help is greatly appreciated!
