Hi Guys,

When posting to facebook it loads the image here:
components/com_easyblog/assets/images/default_facebook.png

Now, we can just overwrite that file, but the problem is the file will be replaced when we upgrade EasyBlog.

Is there a setting I am missing to override this default image?

Thanks
Tony
Hello Stephen,

I'm really sorry that delayed of this reply,
Unfortunately that was not possible to do this way after I tested using this method (template/html/com_easyblog/assets/images/folder).
I will discuss with our developer if we can improve this way in the future.

Hello,

What tests do you want to run?

If facebook is unable to retrieve it on your local machine you need to setup a correct route to your local server. For example your IP/site_test/.

Basically, I am wondering if there is a way to set a different facebook image? Maybe create a folder 'Facebook_images' and have a config option with preloads a select list with the images within this directory for selection?

Thanks
Tony

Hello Ariex,

It would be great if we can change it. As at the moment we have to change it every time we update easyblog which is really poor! as this image is used for social media website.

Many thanks
Tony
