Title:
  Add a static Mahara logo that can be picked up by Facebook

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  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.
