Hi.
When I post the URL of my meteotemplate website on Facebook,
there is no image with the URL.
Any ideas why?
http://fjærvollan.no/template/indexDesktop.php

Try using the homepage (indexDesktop.php) rather than index. Facebook sometimes does unexpected things, but the homepage should work - it works for me

http://fjærvollan.no/template/indexDesktop.php )
but no picture. :/

The meta tag which sets this is there so it should be visible - unless they made some change in the facebook API

It should show imgs/logo.png, check if you have that file on your server

I think I know where the problem is. Thanks for letting me know, I wrote it down on my to-do list for v18 to fix this. I made one change in one previous version and didnt realize it broke this script.

Is there any place in the index.php I can fill in metatags?
The following will be treated as a redirect by the crawler:
A HTTP redirect
A <link rel="canonical" href=".." /> tag
A <meta property="og:url" content=".." /> tag

More nag.
Where in heder.php?
At the top or bottom?.
This is the html tags I think should be put in:
"<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=template/index.php" />
<title>Meteotemplate</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<meta name="description" content="Meteotemplate - free website template for weather enthusiasts." />
<meta name="keywords" content="meteotemplate, fjærvoll weatherservice, fjærvoll weathersørvis, fjærvoll temperatur, fjærvoll vindstyrke, bø i vesterålen, fjærvoll værstasjon, værstasjon, weather nord-norge " />
<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />
<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon">
</head>
</html>"

MPCA86 - please stay polite, not everyone knows how to code
tobydude - keep in mind that unless you know exactly what you are doing things can go seriously wrong and what I always say is that everyone is free to modify the code, but at that moment Im no longer able to help them because making changes directly in the code means I no longer know what could be wrong

Im not sure what you are trying to achieve, Im afraid you will have to do it yourself, keep in mind that unless you really know PHP, HTML and CSS well it is a risky operation. Also keep in mind that making changes locks you out of updates because if you perform the update your changes will be reset, or you will not update which means you wont get any new functions released in upcoming versions

I'm not sure if you ever solved this or not, but what I did was on line 1 of index.php added the following -
<meta property="og:image" content="
http://westfamilynj.net/ObservatoryWestWeather.JPG" />, and then my preview image shows up.
Here is what Facebook debugger shows.

I have the manual changed documented in the Admin Notes section of my site.
Good luck!
