no facebook image was created by HJM Cortooms

Searching the web and this forum for days but I can't find a solution for the following problem.

When sharing a K2 item on facebook, there is nog image visible on facebook.
Information from the facebook Open Graph Object Debugger
"Inferred Property The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags."

In the page sourcecode there is no meta tag: <meta property="og:image ....> in the header

What am I doing wrong?
Images are more than 200x200

Joomla 3.3.8, K2 2.6.9, RocketTheme template

Try adding ?template=system (&templ... if you are not using SEF) in your URL to see if the OG tags are present.

If they are still not present, please send me a link, if they are present then it is a template issue.

After adding "?template=system" They are still not present.

The facebook scrape information couldn't find an og:image, but tells me that it will show the right image.
But in real, facebook shows a wrong image or no image at all.

Are you using any social or SEF plugins?

Also is it possible to remove HTML minification?

sh404sef - Akeeba Release System -> now disabled
system - sef -> now disabled
JCH optimize -> now disabled
sharethis -> now disabled in K2 item

No result
No og:image

Is the creation of the metatag og:image implemented in K2?

Yes it is. Check the source of getk2.org/blog/2254-k2-v269-released

You can try asking the template's developer if the template/ framework is using its own social settings and it is overriting K2's og tags.

The template (RocketTheme) isn't the problem.
Even with template protostar and with all modules and most plugin disabled, I didn't get a <meta property="og:image" ...> in the sourcecode.

Then I changed the code in ..\components\com_k2\views\item\view.html.php
I "disabled" lines 558, 559 and 563

$facebookImage = 'image'.$params->get('facebookImage', 'Small');
if ($item->$facebookImage)
{
      $parts = parse_url($item->$facebookImage);
//    if (JFile::exists(JPATH_SITE.$parts['path']))
//    {
            $image = substr(JURI::root(), 0, -1).str_replace(JURI::root(true), '', $item->$facebookImage);
            $document->setMetaData('og:image', $image);
            $document->setMetaData('image', $image);
//     }
}

Now I get a <meta property="og:image" ...> in the sourcecode. And the facebook image works!!
I don't know why it works, but it works.

Krikor, thanks for helping me to find the way to the solution. Maybe you or an other K2 expert knows why it did go wrong on my site(s).

The issue is why it was not 'seeing' the image.
Make sure to keep a backup of this file since it will be overriden when you update.
