    Default Creinold Social / Media Marketing Mod 1.0

    I am working on a new modification to integrate Facebook like (with analytic), Share on Facebook, Facebook Comments, Share on Myspace, RSS addthis Social Bookmark button (with analytic) among other stuff such as RSS feeds, reviews, etc....


    I got the Facebook like function pretty much working but want it to pull an image from the product page to display on Facebook like page.

    It uses meta tag to pull the information into Facebook

    I need to put a path for the image in image content. Does anyone know if their is a short echo statement for product_image_main? Any help and tips/suggestions would be appreciated. I will be turning this into a modification for everyone to download.

    Thanks Charles

    Plans:
    Own language file
    Settings via Admin
    Own CSS file
    Etc...

    Here's what my meta tag look like for facebook:

    <!-- Facebook Like Your Admin Id -->
    <meta property="fb:admins" content="761808494"/>

    <!-- Facebook Like Your Product Title -->
    <meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo META_TAG_TITLE; ?>"/>

    <!-- Facebook Like Your Product Description -->
    <meta property="og:description" content="<?php echo META_TAG_DESCRIPTION; ?>" />

    <!-- Facebook Like Your Site Name -->
    <meta property="og:site_name" content="Gotleather.com"/>

    <!-- Facebook Like Your Product Image -->
    <meta property="og:image" content=" "/>

    <!-- Facebook Like Your Website type -->
    <meta property="og:type" content="website" />

    <!-- Facebook Like Your URL to Like Page -->
    <meta property="og:url" content="<?php echo $canonicalLink; ?>" />

    Can't figure out the code to figure out how to print (echo) the image url. =(

    I see when you hover the mouse about the main image it shows the url in the status bar. But when I use any of the coding it prints nothing.

    Here's what I tried with no luck...
    <meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo $products_image_base; ?>" />

    <meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo $products_image_medium; ?>" />

    <meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo $products_image_large; ?>" />

    I also tried a few other ones that I didn't write above but got the same result =(..

    Got it to work! Edited the meta_tags.php in includes/modules folder to add a DB query for product images , then pulled it using html_header.php in the templates/your_custom_folder/common/

    =)

    Thanks! I haven't worked on for last few days. Been busy at the retail store. Will probably get more done on it tuesday after the memorial weekend. Once I get the concept up and going I will package that up as a beta. Then once I know it good and everyone happy I'll work on adding settings in the admin page. =) I appreciate your response.

    Well it sounds like exactly what I am looking for. I've spent far too many hours trying to get the individual Facebook social plugins working, to no avail. Can't wait to see what you come up with!
