Manipulate FB ilike (image, title, desc) #18

Dear Julien

First, thanks for sharrre.com! Great plugin and I'm using it for my new portal. To my problem, at the moment I cannot manipulate image, title and desc content for Facebook ilike button. Everything works fine for Twitter and Google+ button. They are catching title and desc metatag from the current page. But Facebook seems to catch information from the root page. Not very useful. I just want, that Facebook catch all information from the current page, where the buttons are displayed + a defined thumbimage, which I provided before.

Here the page. Maybe is good for you to see my problem: http://bit.ly/AyfVKG

Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi elboah,

I'm not Julien but I can help you with that. You need to place additional <meta> tags in the <head> of your web page. Basically, you'll need to add the following lines :

<meta property="og:title" content="insert_your_title_here" /> <meta property="og:url" content="insert_your_url_here" /> <meta property="og:image" content="link_to_your_facebook_thumbnail" />

Once you're done, go to http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug and enter your url to reload the new information.

If you want to know more about Open Graph protocol : http://ogp.me/

Hope this answers your question :)

Hi elboah, Indeed you need to add Open Graph meta tags, thanks Tioneb :)

Thanks Tioneb! Funny - og meta tags were already defined! I just had to delete the "facebook cache" with http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug. Now it works! Hours were gone for that... ;s
