Wordpress Themes - WP Forum at BFA
There will be no more development for Atahualpa (or any other theme), and no support. Also no new registrations. I turned off the donation system. I may turn the forum to read only if it gets abused for spam. Unfortunately I have no time for the forum or the themes. Thanks a lot to the people who helped in all these years, especially Larry and of course: Paul. Take care and stay healthy -- Flynn, Atahualpa developer, Sep 2021

Can Atahualpa do this? Define the image for Facebook links?

I found this guide intriguing, but it's intended for Thesis:

http://www.wolf-howl.com/blogs/thesis-digg-facebook/

Is there a way to do this with Atahualpa? It's basically a way to tell Facebook and Digg what image to use when you post a link from your site to them.

I am guessing you would have use a custom field with the URL of the image you want, but I am not exactly sure how to do this using Atahualpa "language" and every time I've tried to edit the functions of Atahualpa it crashes.

Yes, add the code to functions.php

PHP Code:
function get_social_img() {
    global $post;
    if ( is_single ()){
       $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'title_of_your_custom_field', $single = true);
       ?>
       <link rel="image_src" href="<?php echo $image?>" />
       <?
    
}
}
add_action('wp_head''get_social_img');
You could also automate this without custom fields

PHP Code:
function get_social_img() {
    global $post;
    if ( is_single ()){
      $image = "http://www.yoursite.com/socialimages/".$post->ID.".jpg";
       ?>
      <link rel="image_src" href="<?php echo $image?>" />
       <?
      
}
}
add_action('wp_head''get_social_img');
This would print

HTML Code:
<link rel="image_src" href="http://www.yoursite.com/socialimages/17.jpg" />
on the single post page of the post with the ID #17

You'd put the images into yoursite.com/socialimages/

Thanks so much Flynn, it works perfectly.

Do you know if there it a way to automatically detect the first image within a post, or would that be really complicated? Just curious, don't feel obligated to come up with anything because it's working awesome right now. I'm so happy.

I'd like to control the thumbnail for just the homepage link in Facebook.

Also, where in functions.php does the code snippet above get inserted?

I think that is the correct place to change - you did put in your domain name right?
what version of atahualpa and WP?
What is your url?

The above code I had posted was wrong...it was missing something.

This is what I use now that works:

// facebook connect digg social media image
function get_social_img() {
global $post;
if ( is_single ()){
$image = "";
$image = get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Thumbnail', $single = true);
?>
<link rel="image_src" href="<?php echo $image; ?>" />
<?
}
else {
?>
<link rel="image_src" href="http://www.sixprizes.com/images/6P.gif" />
<?
}
}

I am having a similar issue with Facebook showing my Header images as thumbnails instead of the image in the associated post. Would some code like this work? where it looks for the image attached in the post?

Code:
function get_social_img() {
global $post;
if ( is_single ()){
$image = wp_get_attachment_image($attachment_id, $size='full', $icon = false);
       ?>
      <link rel="image_src" href="<?php echo $image; ?>" />
       <?
}
}
add_action('wp_head', 'get_social_img');

I tried the second code block posted by Flynn, without success. I made sure that it referenced my domain. Am I missing something obvious? (I'm a newbie so sometimes it goes over my head) Do I need to make sure the image is named the number of the post for it to work?

Hi. I've tried several of these codes on my site, and am not having luck. Whenever you click the Facebook Like button at the end of my posts, for some reason, the Twitter Logo shows up as the featured image for all my posts -- whether my post contains an image or not.

My site is www.genwithag.com
My theme is ATO 3.4.9
WP 3.0.1

Can someone walk me through how I might rectify this?

thanks
Gen
