Hi Dan

Sorry. Right now, it is no possible. I think we will need to make some changes to the code to enable that. Will consider adding support for it in the future (next release).

For now, please leave it as how it is. Our new year holiday is coming, and we could not add improvement to the extension right now. After our holiday, please :)

I have same problem Tuan and a few of my clients really need this feature - eg they advertise events by sharing on Facebook - pretty pointless really if it doesn't pick up the event image

The problem, I guess , is the site of the thumbnail image. Facebook only accept images with certain site (greater than 300x300) if I remember correctly

So in this case, I think we will have to find a different solution, maybe use the large image to post on facebook instead of thumbnail image

What version of Events Booking you are using? I can try to send you the modified file so that you can check it?

Hello

Why not latest version 2.14.2? I modified code base on latest version 2.14.2. Please try to get this file, unzip it, upload to components/com_eventbooking/view/register/tmpl folder , then try again to see whether it works

Regards,

Tuan
