Open Graph Meta Tags for Facebook

For some reason, when I post links on Facebook, no images show up.  I've read that you need to use Open Graph meta tags for this to work.  But, because of the way we call data, I can't figure out how to make it work.

Help?

Hi Jen,

This would likely require custom work currently, but we are looking at all of the potential of Facebook for V8.

Re: Open Graph Meta Tags for Facebook

Jeff, that's you isn't it!  Actually, I figured it out!  And I don't know squat about code.  But it's different for me because I only need to show one product and name all images by the product number

Here's what I did.  Sorry I can't remember how to put it in a little code box:

<meta property="og:title" content="<?php print $metatitle; ?>"/>
<meta property="og:type" content="product"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="<?php print curPageURL(); ?>"/> (a Javascript to tell you, which I can also post if someone needs it)
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.shopflytrap.com/media/ecom/prodlg/<?php print $prodnum; ?>a.jpg"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.shopflytrap.com/skins/Flytrap10/media/flytraplogo.gif"/> (You can put as many images as you want )
<meta property="og:site_name" content="ShopFlytrap"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php print $metadesc; ?>"/>
