ISSUE SUMMARY:
Hi, when sharing discussions on facebook the images are missing and the description.
Now I have seen a few issues with the same or similar problem and tried the solutions, but I either can't seem to find similar settings or it doesn't help.
STEPS TO REPLICATE:
1 Create discussion
2 Share discussion on facebook
3
4
5
RESULT Not showing description and showing wrong image or not at all, the group image
EXPECTED RESULT showing the description and the image from the group
BROWSER, Firefox. Safari
Hi, Jens.
But it does display group AVATAR:
prntscr.com/88mm7e
prntscr.com/88mmia
Just make sure that group is NOT private.
You may use FB debug tool to see what information is fetched and scrape new data:

Hi, Jens.
In your case it become quite clear.
Group pages inherit menu item ID from item "Min side" with ID which is set for registered only.
Now try to access - being NOT logged in this page:
ude-motion.dk/index.php/min-side/viewdis...discussion?groupid=7
You'll be asked to log in.
So when FB tries to reach this page... it can't view page details as it's for registered only. Thus no image can be fetched.
This will only work for PUBLIC access pages.
So you'll need to rebuilt your menu items. Delete menu items that lead directly to JomSocial toolbar menu items (in a fact they are duplicated) and rather use menu aliases. You should also have one menu item that links to JomSocial frontpage and it should be public.
Thanks - I guess that the root cause
However I've played around with the menu's etc and I cant seem to get rid of the /min-side/ issue (min-side = my-page in English)
No matter how I try to "create discussion" the /min-side/ becomes a part of the URL for the discussion
See atcched screen dump
By the way:
The menu item FORUM is to the front of Jomsocial and its public :-)
Can you please elaborate on how I can build and Alias.
As an example the upper right hand module (GRUPPER) is based on the module JS Groups. It is set as public but even so it points to an /min-side/ URL and I've got no clue at all why :-(
I reaaly dont understand why - but adding a menu item in the main menu which is the Jomsocial menu GROUPS make it all Work.
Can I relocate it to somewhere else and still get the same response from the site ??
Hi, Jens.
You may create new menu, a hidden menu. Hidden means that it will not be displayed on your site. Just don't display it with any menu module. Then move your menu item to it and that's all :)
