1. Using the Facebook button of the ShareThis module the description given on the share relates to that of our other site of which our JR website is an addon domain site.

- How / where do we go about changing the default description for our JR website so it shows the correct description of the JR site when sharing to Facebook?

- Also, how to add a default image to show our logo on the ShareThis shares to Facebook? Currently no image is picked up for the Facebook share

We tried following through the forum conversation at: https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/5821/fb-share-wrong-meta/search_string=sharethis to figure these out but to no avail.

We have checked the default_facebook_open_graph.tpl file in the jrShareThis module folder but just cant figure what to add or change there

2 - When we copy our JR website's home page URL and paste it on as a post on Facebook it shows: NO_LANG_FOR_ID | before our website name.

- How can we take off this preface or at least replace it with something like Home |?

It appears something similar to this has been fixed in the latest version of the script as per forum discussion at: https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/forum/using-jamroom/844/no-lang-for-id-instead-of-default-text but we just can't figure how to go about resolving this.

We only just started using JR less than a week now so apologies in advance if we are seemingly behind the curve.

Module versions in use:
- Core: 5.1.27
- Skin: Flashback 1.1.7
- ShareThis: 1.0.4

Thanks in anticipation.

Sorry for overlooking your post here. The ShareThis module actually gets the text from the URL that is being shared - if you are seeing text from your old domain, double check that DNS has been updated - it also could be that facebook has "cached" the page if it has been shared previously.

Hope this helps!
