Never mind, it suddenly appeared on the debugger page, and now on facebook.
How do I share a gallery on Facebook and have a photo come up on the post itself? I marked the Embed Open Graph Protocal for Facebook button. All that apparently shows on my facebook post (which I didn't post yet because it would not be good without a photo) is the title of the gallery.
I put the share buttons on the page (which I can't get off now!) and the linkedin button works with an image preview, but not on Facebook....
I see this in the facebook debugger -- The 'og:url' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags. That must be where I assign a photo, and this is how it reads on the page code --
<meta property="og:url" content="<?php echo currentPageLocation(); ?>/" />
so I wonder how that line of code should read, to show a thumbnail on facebook?
Thank you
Thanks very much, Rod.
I just redid my home page only, and I wonder, do I replace all of the supporting files that export with the home page? (like the library, etc.) I'm wondering if by doing that, will it make unwanted changes to the other pages. I uploaded the index.php only (along with the jpgs). Now there is nothing coming up on the iPad or iPhone. gentieu.com
It's fixed! It was Cell Width in the galleries/index.php, jquery script which was indeed set at 358. I made it 310 and it works great. It works ok with the big thumbnails too. (Is that what you meant, Matt, by gallery entries and items?) Thanks very much!
Thanks Rod -- really appreciate your help. I will look at that tomorrow when I'm fresh and report back.
Still trying to solve this problem, of nothing showing up on this page on my iPhone 5 when I hold it vertically: http://www.gentieu.com/galleries/. Maybe it shows up on the newer phones because they are higher res? I'm wondering if it could have to do with big thumbnails, trying to load the desktop thumbnails, not the mobile thumbnails? Weird that it displays the page when the phone is held horizontally, but not vertically. But not sure of the thumbnail theory either because I cut the biggest ones down and no luck.
Thanks Rod. It's weird, I don't get anything coming up when I hold the iPhone vertically but I'm glad it's working on yours.
I have two auto index pages on my website, http://www.gentieu.com — galleries and tearsheets. I have them in Freewall style and I like the way they look on the desktop computer. But nothing shows up at all on my iPhone when viewed in a vertical position. They show up in a horizontal position.
I had just gotten the auto indexes to look the way I wanted with the Freewall style — they were sometimes showing up as Descriptive — (which is how they were always coming up on the iPhone) What I did to change that was, some of the links pointed to /galleries — and some pointed to /galleries.php. the galleries.php displayed the Descriptive. So I changed them all to /galleries/ and the Freewall style showed up.
So I’m not really sure if maybe some of the thumbnails are too big, or what other big mess I made. And I’m wondering if I installed the auto index properly. It’s installed in the two folders, galleries and tear sheets, and also in the root folder.
Thanks very much for this helpful forum.

OS 10.9.5, Lightroom 5... I think I discovered the problem. I was making the thumbnails proportionally longer to compensate for the longer thumbnail display in the masonry (elastic) layout. It doesn't crash when the pixel threshold size is the same, height and width. For the thumbnails to look their best, they need to be made really big then, and I hate doing that to a page with 100 photos on it. Is it possible to make bigger thumbnails for the vertical images, so they look better?
I just upgraded to CE4 Gallery, and created a template, using masonry. Every time I try to export the gallery, it crashes. It crashes during the exporting of the photos, which appears to be the last thing it writes. Sometimes it crashes at the first photo, sometimes after a few more. It seems to get hung up on the thumbnail. The CE2 Gallery is working fine. What could the problem be?
