I think I have found a solution but I don't know if it's the best one.

My problem : In the article I display a video (field name : video) with the video description field followed by the core description field. I want to display in the facebook popup the same text as the one display in the article.

My solution :
1 - creation of the hidden field 'social description' with the following prefix :{{video##0##description}}{{item->text}},
2- I have enabled the social website support as description for 'social description' field
3 - in the core item 'Description' I have desabled the social website support,
4 - in the template renderonly zone, I have placed the 'social description field'.

best regards
Michel

great tutorial !

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

LOL, nice idea, i see no problem in this
- and when we add option for this, then you scrap this hidden field
