    Default Image on Facebook shared topic pages

    Our client would like to specifically select an icon to be displayed when a topic page is shared in Facebook via the AddThis bar. We already have a default image (logo) displayed, but they want to be able to choose the image and have it be different per topic page (depending on the product/topic discussed). Any suggestions?

    Addthis does support custom images, the trick will be trying to use that to a paticluar product. Maybe its possible to write this into an XML package to call the image when the product belongs to a certain category. We have this on our site and store the value within the product description

    you can control the images displayed on Facebook likes/shares with the use of Open Graph meta tags in your header. See the XML package I posted in the topic http://forums.aspdotnetstorefront.co...ph-information - just reference the XML package in the header of your skin template.
