Facebook Images Meta Tag vs AddThis

Darkangel-
I did change the html of the mod to make it a open a new window. I'm pretty sure it's not the "correct" way to do it, but it works! Here is my changes:

Re: Facebook Images Meta Tag vs AddThis

BTW its worth mentioning that if you want a description to appear with the link, you will need a meta description tag.

Re: Facebook Images Meta Tag vs AddThis

I cannot get any images to appear. A look at the source code displays the correct path to the images.

Re: Facebook Images Meta Tag vs AddThis

I just read that the LINK tag must appear within the <head></head> tags.

Re: Facebook Images Meta Tag vs AddThis

I finally went with this mod for FB button, removed the thumbs up part and just left the link. Works really well and although one or two pf the previous images don't show on FB the majority (new ones) do.

Re: Facebook Images Meta Tag vs AddThis

Its working on all 3 browsers after putting link in the html header!

Some pictures dont show. But I discovered that for some reasons I have med size files with some products that reside in the med folder, while others just reside in the images file. So FB is only checking one directory. In short I have some house cleaning to do.

Re: Facebook Images Meta Tag vs AddThis

BassFace:

<link rel="image_src" href="<?php echo "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "/shop/" . $products_image_medium; ?>"/> ```

I just used this code, works fine with zc 1.5.0 and the latest add this mod - Thanks!

IE9 isn't actually linking the product full stop when you share using add this *it just shared the home page and gives a small selection of images to choose from), therefore, the problem seemingly isn't with the image code fix but the add this mod itself, any ideas anyone?
