I'm trying to better understand how Social Share works (specifically for FB).
When I share a post from a Group to FB, The image in the post gets shared and nothing else really.
How can I get the text of the post to share as well as the description of that particular Group (please see attached)
Hi Haki Saki,

Regarding your issue, there are two issues.

1. The reason you are seeing your main site description was because of your 'System - VM OG Meta Tag' where this plugin 'override' the OG tags that added by EasySocial. I've temporary disabled this system plugin and now the og tags displayed correctly.

2. There is no og:description tag being added into the stream page. I've fixed this issue internally and I've applied the fix on your site. It is working correctly now. Please see attached image.

For anyone that having the same issue where there is on og:description tag in stream item page, please download the attached 'photos.php' and copy the file to 'JOOMLA/media/com_easysocial/apps/group/photos/' and overwrite the existing 'photos.php'.

Hope this help and have a nice day!
Sam

OK, thanks. Is there a way to just show the Group name in the description - Not the website name too? Also can the url at the bottom show the path of the Group? (not just the root domain)

Hey Haki,

I've applied some fix in this file JoomlaFolder\components\com_easysocial\views\stream\view.html.php, can you give it a check is it work fine now?

Also can the url at the bottom show the path of the Group? (not just the root domain)

Unfortunately that was not possible in current system.

Hey Haki,

Try pass your stream URL into Facebook debugger tool then press `Scrape again` button.

When you press that button, the Facebook will try to purge all the cache from this link then re-crawl all the correct content again. Can you give it a try and see how it goes?

I've applied some fix in these following file ->
JoomlaFolder\media\com_easysocial\apps\group\links\links.php
JoomlaFolder\media\com_easysocial\apps\group\videos\videos.php


Work fine now :
https://site.com/community/stream/item/2852 - This one doesn't show the image
https://site.com/community/stream/item/3044 - This one just shows Group name & website description

https://site.com/community/stream/item/3918 - No Article Title on this one

Regarding this Link stream in the group, currently that was not possible to retrieve the link title yet, but the description is work fine now.

And the image also Facebook unable to retrieve because hitting following minimum image size requirement:
Provided og:image URL, https://i0.wp.com/onmywaytosparta.files.wordpress.com/2016/05/eku-bf.jpg?fit=440%2C330&ssl=1 was not valid because it did not meet the minimum size constraint of 200px by 200px.
(You can refer on my 3rd screenshot below.)

OK, thanks..still trying to understand the share limitations..you may also want to look in to sharing ES announcements on FB as that doesn't look like it works properly either

I will have to put some time in to it..it seems if I choose 5 different stream items from different Groups or timelines I get 5 different results (problems sharing) I'm not sure what the common denominator is but when I get a little more time I will provide a list of issues..thanks
