Hi,
As this post says, Facebook no longer supports Flash so you can not display a tour in a face book post.
What you can do is use the template to add a nice preview image in a Facebook post.
If its just Facebook you can use the normal template (normal.ggt)
Create your pano, then select the HTML tab in the HTML5 output.
Clicl the edit template button and select files for external embedding.
While still in the HTML tab set the window size to 1200 x 630px
This is the size the preview image will be which is the recommended size for a Facebook preview image.
Upload to your server.
Then paste the URL into your facebook post.
If you do not see the preview image then you can "force it" with the Facebook Debugger.
Paste in the URL into the debugger and do a scrape, see what URL is finds.
It should also display the preview image.
Sometimes the scrapped URL is the better URL to use.
Just copy it and paste in to Facebook.
Regards,
Hopki

Hi,
The thing with add files for external embedding is a V6 feature.
With this selected you should see this line in the HTML page meta data:
<meta property="og:image" content="preview.jpg">
Of course this is looking for the "preview image".
I do not see anything like this in your HTML page.
Digging deeper I see your using version 5, so firstly make sure you have the latest V5 build, you can get this on our websites download page and select Show all downloads.
What you can do is using the transformation output make a 1200 x 630px "preview image.jpg" and add it to the output folder.
Then open the HTML page with a text editor and add this line: <meta property="og:image" content="preview.jpg"> to the head of the page, under the last metadata tag.
Note if you need to republish for any reason you will overwrite the HTML page, maybe rename it to index2,html until you're ready to upload to facebook.

Hopki
