Hello all,

I'd like to thank you for this great extension.
When I share any entry from JDownloads on Facebook or Twitter, I get no Open Graph images. I've tried to upload entry image as normal in the component, but I still get no image. I entered the image inside description (inside text), but also I get no images on facebook.

I've tested the entry via Facebook sharing tool (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug), I get this issue:
Inferred Property
The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Could you help me to solve this issue?
Is there any place in the download file that I could explicitly add the  'og:image' property

Hi,
I've never used Facebook, and I've only used Twitter very rarely. So maybe I don't understand what exactly you mean by the error description. I think a few screenshots might help.

And sorry for the very late reaction. I have problems to get notifications from the forum.
Best Regards / Gruß

Hi
I also do not use Facebook.  But I checked out The Open Graph Protocol' https://ogp.me/
In there the have a section under Structured Properties
A full image example:

<meta property="og:image" content="https://example.com/ogp.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image:secure_url" content="https://secure.example.com/ogp.jpg" />
<meta property="og:image:type" content="image/jpeg" />
<meta property="og:image:width" content="400" />
<meta property="og:image:height" content="300" />
<meta property="og:image:alt" content="A shiny red apple with a bite taken out" />

So I would suggest you add this to the Meta Data key words section in the Publishing Options of the Download in the Backend.
