Link post thumbnail

[fernandodrumond]

Hello,

I'm trying to create posts with a thumbnail image. I added the corresponding og tag, but when posting to Tumblr through the gem, it doesn't show the image (if I paste the link on Tumblr it does).

I also tried using the thumbnail option describe in the API docs, I wonder why you don't support it.

How can I add an image to my post?

Thanks in advance,

I am dealing with the same issue. I looked through the code and the thumbnail is not one of the options. @fernandodrumond did you find a workaround? I wonder if there is a way to force Tumblr to load link's meta data.

I encountered the same situation. I solved it as follows.

1. Post link without thumbnail
2. Edit ^ this post with thumbnail.

client.link can not use :thumbnail but client.edit can use :thumbnail

I hope this will help.
