Can you elaborate on this a little more? I'm not sure what you mean.

When you paste a link into Facebook to a raingarden, Facebook doesn't properly scrape the page and display a photo. You can use their Debug Tool to check on your page being meta tagged properly for their scraper

This was partially fixed on PR #220, so our homepage and default links have a decent thumbnail showing up. But we also want a thumbnail of a place's photo attachment to show on Facebook when someone shares the place. Right now, it just defaults to the homepage's thumbnail (which has just been fixed).

We have to explore this a little more, but I think it has to do with the following code under the flavor's templates/index.html file:

    {% with attachment=place.properties.attachments|first %}
    <meta name="og:image" content="{{ attachment.file }}">
    {% endwith %}

And I believe place.properties.attachments|first is undefined.
