XF 2.1 OG Image not shared when a forum thread is shared on social media

[tribedude]

We are about to complete our upgrade from XF 1x -> XF 2x and I am working on a test installation right now.

I notice that when a XF 2.1x forum thread is shared to facebook, for example, the link shares but there is no associated image. We used an add-on for this is 1.x but I see the developer has abandoned it.

Can XF 2.1 display these images to social media automatically? Or is there a way to configure it to do this with a setting somewhere?

Thanks,

XF 2.0 - Set pictures from the post as thumbnail for Facebook and Twitter

Hi! Now all post sent to Twitter or Facebook via IFTTT go with the same og image. I saw that it was possible to use first images in a post and use them for posting in these sites...
