    Anyone know how to control the thumbnail that appears in Facebook when linking to a Zite site?
    Currently, I’m getting a choice of images from the slideshow but I specifically want to use the site logo.
    Thanks

    Hi Andydog,

    Sorry, i do not fully understand your idea. Is image displayed in facebook when you push the link to facebook crawler data? A picture is worth a thousand words, pls send me the screenshots for more details.

    Im having the same problem and havent solved it yet .

    If I post my site on facebook i can choose images from the slideshow module.
    To prevent the slideshow images to be used as thumbnail for facebook this is what i did:

    I edited head.php in /templates/mytemplatename/blocks
    and added this line

    <link rel="image_src" href="http://imagesource/myimage.jpg" />

    before this line

    <jdoc:include type="head" />

    I then used the facebook debugger http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
    and in the displayed results the preview is visible and pictures are no more pulled out of the slideshow as it was before

    But when I post my link on facebook i still have the slideshow pictures to choose a thumbnail from and NOT my defined preview picture.

    Has anyone fixed this ?
    Any hints on how to fix this ?

    Thx in advance

    Hi Mkunze,

    Please post url of your site. I think that if you clean your site cache on facebook via http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug , it should work well.

    Hi HeR0,

    it works now. Must have taken a bit of time for google to refresh their cache. ( 24 h later now )

    Problem solved
    🙂
