Hello people who are smarter than me. Pages shared to Facebook have the green page icon as their image. How would I over-ride this to use the website logo or ideally the image from each page? I've tried a few things but haven't worked it out yet.

Hmm I'm not sure. I'd think Facebook's oEmbed would pick up the first image and use that. I guess it thinks the page icon is the first image.

This may be something to add to the tracker… for Comcode pages, if an image exists, use the first image as the page's representative image in meta instead of the page icon.

Well I've hardcoded the page images to match files in the filedump then set the og:image meta in head but that doesn't seem to have made a difference. Perhaps I should use the galleries for images but I don't want them interfering with my videos layout. If the page has a link to a gallery video that filedump image shows. A quick fix would be to change the page icon for the standalone_logo but I can't find where to do that. I'll experiment a bit more before adding a tracker issue.

What I'll probably end up doing is just having Composr find the first image on the page and use that. Now the logic for doing that might get a bit tricky.
