This simple trick allows you to change Thread's Meta tag from ForumHome Meta details to thread description.

Before :

After :

Instruction :

Edit facebook_opengraph in the template

Replace :

Code:

<vb:each from="opengrapharray" key="property" value="content"><meta property="{vb:raw property}" content="{vb:raw content}" />
</vb:each>

with

Code:

<vb:each from="opengrapharray" key="property" value="content"><meta property="{vb:raw $threadinfo['description']}" content="{vb:raw content}" />
</vb:each>

That's all.

Now when you share in facebook, you will see the Thread desc as the meta tag.

Disclaimer :

I tried changing many codes in Template and finally succeeded. So I am not responsible if there is any problem.
Length of Meta Keyword/description may be greater than 200 words.

P.S :
Facebook caches the meta title and desc. when you try to share any link. In that case, you won't see any new meta details. So add ?v=1 or &p=19 [something like that]
eg. http://collegers.net/showthread.php?...enter-HOAX?v=1

Otherwise check the meta details using

How do you include images in first post?

To display the necessary image(thumbnail) from First post , you need to click the Arrow.

(Sometimes, FB may not load images. )

Not working for me but thanks anyway.

Prior to installing this when I posted an article to Facebook only my header and my footer appeared as image options on FB.

The information in the article was not an option, as again only my site info was appearing on FB.

After installing this ALL images on the article page where given as an option to choose from, not just the header and footer.

About 90% of my sites images are hosted at Photobucket - and easily link to FB using this mod.

I love it. Works great for me!

Thanks again!
