How to change the default image used when a Facebook Like button is clicked from an article?

I am trying to find where I can change or if I can change the image used when the home page article "FB Like" button is used to share or any article for that matter. Currently it is pulling my Virtuemart cart.

Thanks

So there is no way to do this using the Facebook button yootheme provides through articles? I downloaded that module and it leaves a lot to be desired and not sure how I can use it in article format.

I'm looking for an answer on this as well,.. just saying it doesn't work,.. doesn't help.

It does pull in an image from the site,.. just not one that is related. So,.. there must be a way to set which image is used, as it now just selects a random image,... which makes no sense.

If it isn't supported at this point,.. than this needs to be implemented. Why offer only half of a useful option to integrate social media.

I LOVE the fact that this is build into the templates,.. too bad it is only useful,.... partially.

Even using opengraph extensions, the ZOO images are not displayed

Ok Im VERY confused now.

Im having loads of problems using the STOCK Facebook, twitter & G+ buttons that are embedded in each YooTheme Theme. You know, the ones you enable and disable in the theme configuration page.

What Im reading here is that these buttons are in fact completely useless because they dont use Open Graph and therefore submit random and usually incorrect detail to Facebook, twitter & G+

I get random images unrelated to and not included in the article, I get site meta description, not article meta description when submitting and this is confusing and frustrating for my clients.

And what I'm reading here is that although these buttons are coded into each template they are a complete waste of coding and in return cost. I purchased a YooTheme subscription because I expected these things to work so i didn't have to hunt round and bog down my site with other plugins. If your products aren't actually fully functional then you have sold me these templates under false pretences and I want a refund.

You can download from the Jooomla Extensions Directory a plugin that enables FaceBook Open Graph on your site, this control is only supported in the Open Graph Api,
