Meta Tags Help

I'm working on making it a little easier for us to cross post links to our newest products on Facebook.

One of the Facebook features for posting is the "Link" button. When you click it, it pulls the title, description and image from the linked page for the post.

But without the correct meta-tag to tell Facebook which image to use, it can't find the correct product image for the link, but rather tries to pull random images from our navigation.

A little searching has led me to believe we need the following in the head of each page....

< link rel="image_src" href="http://www.example.com/" />

What I'd like is code to generate that meta-tag, linking it to the general image for the product page, or if the link is to a search result or category page... the thumbnail image for the first item returned by the search adn/or in the category. I suppose we would need a fall back in case the linked page is something other than a product page, search result or category page.

Anyone done anything like that?

Greg...you rule.

That works perfectly for individual product pages.

Now...any ideas on how to build that same link for a search result, using the image of the first result?

When we add a bunch of products at once I like to point customers to just the group (such as all in stock products for a certain keyword) I want them to see using a search result link.

I tried to use pcShowProductsH.asp to make a link for each image on the page, but I think Facebook needs it to be in the head of the document.

Thanks Greg....I couldn't figure out an easy way to do it on the search results page since they database calls all actually take place in ShowProductsH.asp instead of searchresults.asp.

Regardless...yeah, we'll look into it further when we're ready to wrap up the transition you're already helping us with. Thanks!

Thanks EI team. Top notch as always!
