Community Event does not share correctly on Facebook

[persyst]

I have noticed that if a user or myself creates a community event on the front-end and uploads event image that the image, nor the event description show up on the Facebook post when I paste the event link.
Here’s an event link to demonstrate this:
http://cypherspot.com/event/test10/

I found that if I actually go back to EDIT the same event on the front-end without modifying anything and simply hitting “Submit Event” the event image will show up correctly on facebook.
Here’s a event link example that shows the Event Image correctly when pasting in facebook:
http://cypherspot.com/event/test9/

However, now I’ve noticed with the various test events such as, http://cypherspot.com/event/test9/, for some reason the even description is not popping up in facebook like other events on the calendar.

For Reference, here is an event link which shows completely correct in facebook:
http://cypherspot.com/event/we-own-the-night-sept-6th-underground-los-angeles/

I need help to:
1) Determine why the event images only show up in facebook only after re-saving and event by hitting “Submit Event” ?

2) Why is the description of this “Test 9” Event, http://cypherspot.com/event/test9/, not showing up in Facebook?

That’s an interesting range of differences, I’m not completely sure what the difference would be.

I see you are using some plugins that embed OpenGraph data, though, like Shareaholic. Would you be able to run a few tests and basically go through our standard troubleshooting steps and see how the events carry across to Facebook under default conditions, in case your theme isn’t amenable to this sort of thing (or in case Shareaholic or another plugin is getting in the way)?

Let me know how you get on.

Hi! It’s been a while so I’m going to go ahead and close this thread. If we can help with anything else, though, please don’t hesitate to create new threads as needed. Thanks!
