About This File

This plugin will add the ability to moderators to choose any attached image in the topic to be the embed image. By default, IPS 4.2 uses the first attached image.

Note:

• As a moderator permission is needed and due to that, the option will appear only for moderators that can pin content.

 

 

@Adriano Faria is it working also as preview image for Facebooks (og:image)?

I don't think so. There should be special tag in source code for Facebook preview images like:

<meta property="og:image" content="XXX.jpg">

It would be nice to have such option in this plugin. It would be much better alternative for this one (when we can not change the image): 

 

 

This looks like a great plugin. Before I purchase I had a question.
Thank you for taking the time to reply.

Does this plug-in effect the embedded image when the link is posted to say... Facebook?
Currently when I link any forum thread to FB it shows up with the same generic picture each time.
My hope is this plug-in will allow me to chose the embedded image, allow me to link to FB and that embedded image show up on the FB post.

I have not seen this question asked or it addressed in the purchase notes.

 

 

 If it changes the og:image, then yes. But I would need to make some tests first. I’ll reply up to tomorrow.

It doesn't do that but I'm releasing a new version to add support to og:image... should be available in a couple of days or so.

Great, thank you!

 

The embed image did not follow to the FB post.

@MeanGene try to referesh cached image on facebook by using this: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

@Adriano Faria this plugin would be even better if you added one little detail there. The og:image parameter should be added to source code even if the thumbnail has not been manually swapped. In this case, either the image that was automatically selected for the thumbnail or the default image that is used for topics without any images, should be specified there as og:image.
