mmm, you want the minigallery to show inside the facebook shared page?

minigallery uses javascript, it will not work, you will need to use an image field or an image placed in the description or in some other textarea field

I have opened a defect issue,

code.google.com/p/flexicontent/i ... ail?id=377

we will close open defect issues and release final version at end of week / start of next, will look into this , since this is rather important for general site usage, but cannot promise to fix.

Regards

in my configuration:

flexicontent 1.5.6
3rd party plugins: Facebook-Twitter-Google+1

as far as i manage to find on my own...
it is related to the opengraph tags

in the flexicontent managed items those tags are:
Code:
<meta property="og:description" content=""/> <meta property="og:image" content="http://www.mydomain.com/images/logo_facebook.jpg"/> <meta property="fb:admins" content=""/> <meta property="fb:app_id" content=""/> <meta property="og:title" content="HONDA HR-V 1.6 ES"/> <meta property="og:url" content="http://www.mydomain.com/component/content/article/17-honda-hr-v-16-es"/> <meta property="og:site_name" content="NCAR - Nuno Pombo, Lda"/> <meta property="og:locale" content="pt_PT"/> <meta property="my:fb" content="on"/> <meta property="my:google" content="on"/> <meta property="my:tw" content="on"/>

in the items not managed with flexicontent the tags are:
Code:
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.mydomain.com/images/stories/flexicontent/m_06-35-od_01.jpg"/> <meta property="fb:admins" content=""/> <meta property="fb:app_id" content=""/> <meta property="og:title" content="teste"/> <meta property="og:url" content="http://www.mydomain.com/teste"/> <meta property="og:site_name" content="NCAR - Nuno Pombo, Lda"/> <meta property="og:locale" content="pt_PT"/> <meta property="my:fb" content="on"/> <meta property="my:google" content="on"/> <meta property="my:tw" content="on"/>

if flexicontent can manage the creation of those tags i think this can be solved.

hope this can help in someway...

Facebook has a problem with that.

the IMG tag has to be inside a P tag so Facebook can detect it.

Try it and give me feedback if it fails.

We usually have to change a lot of the components and plugins so Facebook can detect them.
