I'm using the command "FB.ShareLink" to share a FB post.
When i try to share this picture:
http://sheep-service.info/TheOfficeQuest/Pics/pic.png
It share the post with empty picture.
But, when i try to share the same picture from different location:
http://i.imgur.com/UenxpGW.png
It shares the post with this picture.
So my questions is: Why does the picture shows only from the second location? do i need to configure something on my facebook app page?

I use Facebook share button to share my article (Title, description and image) on Facebook using Open Graph Meta and other default Meta
And my articles are echoed in post.php page like (mywebsite.com/post.php?id=post_id) which contents differ through post_id.
Well, while sharing a post on fb, facing some problems.
1: fb share doesn't detect the image belonging to the article/current post that is shared. (Thought the image URL in my Open Graph Meta is correct) and after sharing it on Facebook the link doesn’t redirect to the exact URL (mywebsite.com/post.php?id=post_id).
2: the fb share button is in my post.php page which shares different posts but sharing is counted same for all posts.
The FB share button has got an attribute (data-href="url-to-share") which my one is (data-href="<?php echo'post.php?id=post_id';?>").
Anyone know what and where is wrong with my code/URL addressing?
If your meta tags shows correct data then must be fb issue. I faced similar problem before.
Try debug your url in the FB debugger( https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/ ). It helps.
Fb haven't grab your updated data because they have their own time/interval to grab new data from the website(if im not mistaken). Using the debugger u'll see how the share will look like and show missing details if any.
In my Unity IOS game, I am unsuccessfully trying to use FB.Feed to share a screenshot on the user's wall.
Facebook documentation uses FB.Api to publish the screenshot, but this method does not display a share dialog, it simply uploads the pic to Facebook.
Answers I have found so far:
Upload the picture using FB.Api, and then parse the FBResult for the picture URL, and feed that to FB.Feed Link to answer.
This method triggers an error, since it is not possible to use a Facebook URL as source for a picture.
Save the picture locally and prepend "File://" to the picture path. Link to question. This does not seem to work either, and the Facebook documentation does not seem to have any information on URL formatting.
My question:
Is this the correct (and only) way to display a share dialog when publishing a picture? Or am I looking in the wrong direction?
FB.Feed only allows you to post link to images. It doesn't upload the images to Facebook. Therefore, these images need to hosted somewhere on the net and not locally.
The best way to make it work is either upload the images to FB (with privacy property set to EVERYONE) using FB.API, and then share the link to that picture via FB.Feed. If you don't want to create duplicate stories, i.e. one from posting the picture and another from FB.Feed, make sure that you set no_story to true.
I am using Facebook comment box in my website for commenting purpose on pictures, its working fine, i am also using a share button which is working fine too, but the problem is when its shared or users do commenting on the picture it is shared to their walls but a default website logo is shown there, i want to share the current picture on which user made comments or shared it ... I am posting it here because i couldnt find it on google or i was unable to make a query for google.. Thanks in advance
Test your link at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug to see what thumbnails are pulled in by facebook when shared.
To configure which thumbnail to show when an URL from your site is shared you have to add this property to your html source in the header.
<meta property='og:image' content='url to First Image in your Page etc'/>

When I try to upload an image to a fan page managed by me, it gets uploaded to my album instead of the fan page's album.
I've given the 'manage_page' permission
And I've tried the following in the Graph Explorer Tool
The id I've given is my page's id. I've tried changing that to the album id in the page also (the album is having can_upload set to true).
But still the image is getting uploaded to my profile rather than the page. Can someone please help me ?
Ok. Finally I found the answer.
It seems there are two types of access_token. One is to manage the user and the other is to manage the page.
Normally the graph explorer shows the access_token to manage the user. To get the access_token to manage the page, we need to query that from "https://graph.facebook.com//accounts".
This would result like
Then, use that access_token to finally upload the image to your fan page as shown in pics in the question.
Hope this helps.

i also tried to put og:image But no success :-(
Any suggestions please.
You haven't given enough code to diagnose your problems, but assuming that you've followed the open graph instructions on the Facebook Developers site - http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/ - It would be a good idea pass your target URL through the Facebook Debugger (formerly the URL Linter) it will help show you any errors you have regarding your open graph tagging implementation:
