I decided to use the Main Screen Actions Block and see how it works. I only have Facebook to check how it does but I noticed that when the recommended page shows up on Facebook it truncates the Theme Image. You can see the page recommended on the bottom photo then on the top photo how the recommended page shows up on Facebook with the Theme Image truncated.

Is there a way to fix this so the image is not truncated or something I can comtrol what is being seen in the reccomendation?

Now we know what you look like   :cool: .

Sure.

You need to edit the HTML_HEAD template, removing this:

Code

{+START,IF_NON_EMPTY,{$METADATA,image}}<meta property="og:image" content="{$METADATA*,image}" /><meta property="og:image:width" content="{$IMG_WIDTH*,{$METADATA,image}}" /><meta property="og:image:height" content="{$IMG_HEIGHT*,{$METADATA,image}}" />{$,NB: You may also want to define a image_src link tag for some social sites}{+END}{+START,IF_EMPTY,{$METADATA,image}}<meta property="og:image" content="{$IMG*,logo/standalone_logo}" /><meta property="og:image:width" content="{$IMG_WIDTH*,logo/standalone_logo}" /><meta property="og:image:height" content="{$IMG_HEIGHT*,logo/standalone_logo}" />{+END}

You can just upload some new image to your server and reference it instead in the template:

Code

<meta property="og:image" content="url_to_the_image" />
