Public bug reported:

When you share a Mahara page with Facebook, it may not pick up the logo
but choose another image from the site. In order to tell FB which image
should be used, the following could be implemented in the raw theme so
that all pages get it:

https://developers.facebook.com/docs/share/

E.g. When you share the Mahara homepage (tested it with
demo.mahara.org), you don't get the logo but other images that are on
the page. If you share a link to a portfolio page, there is no logo and
no information about the site but "Your browser does not have javascript
enabled for this site. Mahara requires javascript to be enabled before
you can log in".

If the following would be possible that would be great:

1. Always show the Mahara logo -> set that as the image to be used by
Facebook. If other sites want to use a different image, they could
exchange that in the raw theme, but at least we would have a default
logo.

2. Check (and fix) what / where a short description of a site would need
tobe put into the header so that it is picked up by Facebook even when
sharing a portfolio page.
