Using the FB debug tool for http://www.talkjesus.com
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/
I fetch new scape info without a problem, except one last thing that just won't kick in. The op:graph image shows default Xenforo pic instead of mine. However, the weird thing is if you click the link, it'll actually show my version (chat icon with 3 people group). It still pulls old XF pic too if I try to post on FB. I've confirmed with XF support it's not them, obviously anyway.
Any idea?
Your correct image is at the following URL...
http://www.talkjesus.com/styles/default/xenforo/logo.og.png
The image Facebook displaying on the Facebook Debug page is a cached copy of your old image. The URL for that image is...
https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQBAyXWZeLwaPVbO&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.talkjesus.com%2Fstyles%2Fdefault%2Fxenforo%2Flogo.og.png
The good news is this image caching should not have any effect on how your page is shared on Facebook.
If it does cause problems renaming your image and updating the OG tag will fix it.

I have a problem that's been bugging me for a while now. I have a page with a Facebook Like button on it. When the visitor clicks on it, everything is working as it should. The user first logs in her Facebook account, and the right information is showing in the little iFrame that pops up. It has correct headline, url, image, and the possibility to add some text to the post.
But once posted on Facebook, the wall post doesn't show the description, instead it shows four rows with the text n/a. How come?
Some additional information:
I have set the followwing fields in the head section of the html, and
the Facebook debugger tool scrapes the correct information: og:title,
og:description, og:image, og:url, og:locale, og:type
Also, it always works for me and some others when liking it, but not
when person X or Y tries to share it, so it's kind of sporadic...
I use the Facebook js sdk.
In the Facebook debugger tool I get this warning: fb:admins and fb:app_id tags are missing. These tags are necessary for Facebook to render a News Feed story that generates a high click-through rate. But I have read somewhere that this shouldn't be necessary in my case.
The description sometimes contains characters like Å, Ä and Ö.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior?
Thanks in advance!
We added Facebook Open Graph tags to our site NowGamer.com a few months back and everything worked perfectly initially. But in the last few weeks we've noticed that on about 2/3 of images the og:image would not display when an item was shared or liked. Sometimes going to the linter would scrape the page and the image would then be available.
But in other instances the image thumnbnail doesn't appear in the linter - although the link to the full image displays it at full size OK.

The images all fit within the 3:1 parameters although they are relatively large (they have to be as they are screenshots for video games). Here is an example of exactly the same type and size of image that does display in the Linter and on shares/Likes

I can't see why one works and the other doesn't. Any suggestions?
The thumbnail's width AND height must be at least 50 pixels, and
cannot exceed 130x110 pixels.

Strange: I would have gone with a cache problem which I've also experienced before. For pure testing purposes if you want to attempt to refresh a different version of the URL try adding ?v=1 or some other parameter which makes the URL unique. This forces Facebook to go and get the URL again so you can make sure the images are working as expected.I think YouTube have also had this problem over the last few months http://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!category-topic/youtube/sharing-and-connecting-on-youtube/YnTqofAhcN8
Is there anyway to detect if the tab app is being loading in the new timeline or not? I got clients asking to upgrade my layout but not all of them have upgraded so it makes it hard to do that. If I had a way to detect this it would be perfect.
I managed to do that by looking for an album called "Cover Photos" on the album list of that page. Here's a sample:
http://graph.facebook.com/-page_id-/albums?fields=name
You don't need a token unless the page isn't published yet.
The problem with this approach is that some pages still don't have cover picture yet, but it's the minority.
I have a like button on my site, i have defined all the og: meta tags and its works for most of most pages, but doesnt for 2 other pages. Its using a template so its exactly the same code, how can it work for some but not all pages?
For the pages it doesnt work, it doesnt pick up the title, image, link or description, basically any of the meta tags information.
Working like button....

Any ideas?
One usual problem is caching. If you were testing and at some point had the wrong data in the metatags facebook will cache that info.
One simple wat to test if it is a caching issue is to add a random param at the end of the URL.
so www.yourpage.com/index.php?cacheBust=1
Running the Facebook Debugger often clears those kind of things up. It appears to refresh the FB cache when you do.
That's my first question in here, I've been looking through old questions, but nothing matched with my problem. Here it is.
I'm creating some site with one main functionality. We want this site to display content of other sites, but in a specific way. User chooses let's say two pages from five and want to see their content. He clicks button 'Display' and goes to next page where he finds let's say view from web cam, and here comes problem.
I want to cache image that is hidden behind the url from which image was downloaded, so after refresh image won't be downloaded again, but browser will get it from cache.
I've been looking through documentation of Django, but nothing seemed to be useful.
I know that I should:
1) create table which stores cache
2) add to settings.py some CACHE_BACKEND = ...
3) use #cache_page(300) before declaration of function which returns content which should be cached,
but... it doesn't seem to work.
I will be greateful if someone tells how to solve that problem, maybe with some sort of code showing the mechanism.
Cheers,
Chris.
I think that right way to do this will be to store image somewhere on your server and delete it later with cron or something similar.
Django cache framework wasn't created for the purpose you are trying to use it.
