This is a follow up on my previous ticket about the social sharing not posting the image
http://stackideas.com/forums/sharing-social-shares-doesn-t-post-picture-or-intro-text

We solved the problem by going into the Facebook debugger and re scraping the content there, then clearing the cache.

The problem is, I need to do this every-time I post if I want the content to be shareable ...

Hey Danny,

From the previous post, ever since we helped you disabled the Lockdown Mode, any new post you make should not have any sharing issues. Perhaps you can try sharing some new test posts with image, video and just text to see if we can share these new posts without issue?

Feel free to test this wth our DecoPatio accesses you already have
http://decopatio.ca/testgroup

Every new post in the group won't share unless you FB debug/scrape it first ...

Thanks
Danny

Hey Danny,

I've applied some fix in this file -> JoomlaFolder\media\com_easysocial\apps\group\photos\photos.php, can you try create a new photo stream again in your group and try share to your Facebook.

Note : when the first time you click Facebook share button, that image Facebook will not retrieve yet, this is out of our control, but when you share to your Facebook, that image will appear correctly on your Facebook page.

or click Facebook share second time, it will show the correct image correctly.

I'm not sure if I should be opening a new post for this but I will post here for now (I think i had a another ticket for this and it was supposed to be solved ?)

There is still a problem with the scraping process. Sometimes, when scraping a URL content, the pre-post itself looks right but when posted in the group, it doesn't include the right info (picture and text). I've attached 2 screen shots to show you.

Also:

Have a look at the first post in that group (the one that looks like a video post). It's not a video ? This problem had been solved in a previous post too but also seem to have come back (re: posting an image/text blog generated a video thumbnail ?)

It seems like you have update Easysocial latest version again and override these fix what he provided to you in previously, by the way, I already re-apply again the fix in this file -> JoomlaFolder/media/com_easysocial/apps/group/links/themes/default/streams/preview.create.php , it should work fine now.

You're welcome Danny

By the way, this fix already included in current latest version of Easysocial 1.4.11.

As a gentle reminder, kindly start a new thread if you have any other issue in the future so it will be easier for us to manage your inquiry. I will lock and mark this thread as resolved.
