I want to be able to have a link on my website that upon clicking it opens a Facebook share dialog containing the image displayed with full size along with a custom text quote.
The 2 options that I tried with the Facebook share dialog don't achieve that result:
The first option is to use https://www.facebook.com/dialog/share?app_id=3xxxxxx334"e=Some%20quote&href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fsome_page, and use og:image tag on www.example.com/some_page with the image that I want to display
The problem with this approach is that the image is displayed cropped to match the aspect ratio that the Facebook uses (1.9:1) which is different than the aspect ratio that I use for the image (1.3:1)
The second option is to use https://www.facebook.com/dialog/share?app_id=3xxxxxx334&media=[%27https%3A%2F%2Fwww.example.com%2Fsome_img.jpg%27] with the link of the image that I want to display
This approach displays the image in full size in Facebook, however the problem is that it doesn't allow adding any text quote with the image, any use of quote or description query parameters seems to be ignored by Facebook
So my question is there a way to combine the 2 methods such that the image gets displayed with full size along with a custom text quote?

Imagine a pdf with text and a application that test images over the text.
In every test pdf is saved and the next test using same pdf.
The first time you add image under text you can see the results, next time you will try you add image under is not appear because first image cover it.
So...exists something GetBetween or can i choose the layer that i want?
If i use GetUnderContent only first image appears and all others are hide.
If i use GetOverContent then the text is covered by image.
I am converting HTML pages using EvoPdf and would like to add a background image. I am generating documents and would like to add a cover page, I am doing this by prepending the HTML for the cover page then putting a page break directly after.
I am using this demo as a guide http://www.evopdf.com/demo/HTML_to_PDF/PDF_Pages_Background/Add_Elements_in_Background.aspx and have found that I need to remove the page margins for the image to cover the whole page otherwise it sits inside the margins.
If I remove the margins this means the content that flows over pages now starts directly at the top of the page and flows right to the bottom. I can fix this for left and right margins by putting this in the HTML but this does not work for top and bottom margins that flow over pages. (see the generated PDF from the above demo)
Is there a way to set the PDF page background irrespective of the page margins? I have been looking at creating multiple documents with their own configuration and merging the PDF's but I really want to avoid this.
You can set up a header and footer with the heights you wanted for the top and bottom margins, and then choose to not display them on the first page. This should give you the effect you're looking for.
You can find more information about how to do this here: http://www.evopdf.com/demo/HTML_to_PDF/Headers_and_Footers/HTML_in_Header_Footer.aspx
I've been working on facebook social sharing, and I have gotten it to work via 'dialog' & 'popup' modals.
My feed is Shared on Facebook feed with the newer Large display rectangle.
I've set up all the proper parameters such as:
method:
app_id:
name:
link:
picture:
caption:
description:
display:
my page renders meta-tags with og:image, og:image_secure_ssl, og:image:height, og:image:width, with their respective content="image/height/width"
I've used the facebook:debugger to freshly re-scrape/cache the url.
Using FB.ui(options...), there is no parameter for height/width to be sent to facebook. My images meet the correct sizes of 1200x800+, as well as their aspect ratio of 1.9:1
What I want to achieve in my preview-modal is this:
Go to this website, and click on the round black facebook share icon:
http://www.violetgrey.com/violet-files/top-flight/the-golden-eye?icl=section_1_hero_v2_1&icn=hero_image
The much larger preview
My current preview-modal display currently is more like:
Go to this website, and click on the facebook share blue button:
https://www.everlane.com/invite
The small square preview
I really like the bigger share modal preview, because it looks better imo.
Do you guys have any advice as to how I can proceed?
To get the large preview, you can either rely on the Share Dialog or open up the plain old https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=(http://yourURL.com/) in a popup. They both use the Open Graph metadata you set in the head.
The Feed Dialog can be used to override the OG meta, so you can specify a title, description, picture, but there's no way to set the picture's dimensions or the layout of the dialog...
I want Facebook to ignore a particular image on a page. Is there any tag I can use that will hide an image from Facebook when users share a page?
We are using Joomla 3.4. The article pages that have an intro section that displays on category listing pages but is hidden on the actual article page. The intro section has a thumbnail 75 x 75.
In the main body of the article there is a larger image that we would like to display on Facebook but the og:image always selects the thumbnail first.
Is there any way I can add some parameter to the thumbnail so that it will be ignored?
Why don't you explicitly specify the larger image in your og:image tag? If you specify more than one og:image, as far as I know the first one is selected.

I have a site in which the user creates a dynamic image, and would like the user to be able to post her creation on Facebook. The way I wanted to achieve this is via the standard "like" and "share" buttons ( using XFBML) - I dynamically change their URL to a page containing the user image.
The problem is that Facebook posts the correct URL but with a generic picture, and not the user generated picture.
In the past I used to give the image url - and then I would get the right picture. But this is not what I wan't now - I wan't the link to be to a full feature page.
The target page does specify og:img to the dynamic image - but it seems FB does not use it...
Any ideas how I can control the image FB shows on the post?
There are some restrictions on the image
the thumbnail's width AND height must be at least 50 pixels, and cannot exceed 130x110 pixels. The ratio of both height divided by width and width divided by height (w/h, h/w) cannot exceed 3.0
