Explanatation of stragnge facebook url? - facebook

My friend shared with me a strange looking facebook url
https://www.facebook.com/people/_/111819727 (modified)
This url leads to friend's home page in facebook. I have not seen URL like this. Is anybody familiar with such URLS.
Most facebook URLS look like this
https://www.facebook.com/JaneDoe.
Is it some kind of facebook hack?

Share a URL that is shareable on Facebook on LinkedIn

I've worked on sharing dynamic content to be shareable on Facebook populating OpenGraph tags, I know LinkedIn uses OpenGraph tags.
To my surprise when I've tried sharing the same url on LinkedIn nothing shows up.
did anyone have such experience?
I've used https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/
But no luck, I get '503 Failure' exception.
Is this the new way to share something on LinkedIn? (Below url)
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/linkedin/consumer/integrations/self-serve/share-on-linkedin
I've tried inspecting the url with https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/
also
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
Here in facebook I got response for all the og:tags
I've update the URL-rewrite on ISS to allow UserAgent: LinkedInBot, this change allowed to LinkedIn crawler retrieve the og tags to be populated for linked in crawler request.

Facebook HTTP request 500 - Wordpress

I was searching how to fix this situation, that Facebook said my website response is 500 and it can't display thumbs for Facebook sharings.
Its on www.gofreestyle.cz
The debug of one site is:
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.gofreestyle.cz%2Frc-mx-bike-mx400%2F
Does any body know why Facebook can't see the URL? Or what's wrong? Older posts are working... new posts are not (4 days...)
Your Facebook App Settings and your Domain URL are not matching. Try to check your app settings on facebook.

Post an OpenGraph action for Like and Comment without using Like and Comments plugin

I am using GraphAPI to send comments and likes to a facebook photo from my site. The problem is I want to post the action to the user's wall, one which should be viewable from their friends' news feeds like "ChrisB liked a link" and "ChrisB commented on a link", where link is the photo's url on facebook. Of course I expect the photo thumb and name and description to appear on the post as well.
I have attempted to use custom OpenGraph actions and objects for these, but og:url won't accept facebook links now (which is odd because it still works for facebook pages). The error I'm getting from the linter is "Facebook urls cannot be crawled".
Is there any way to get the result that I want?
Instead of using a Facebook URL directly, try using bit.ly links or some way of automating the redirection from your site to Facebook. For example, I would use the apache module mod_rewrite to create a page on my website, but have it redirect to Facebook.
E.g. 'fake page' would be domain.com/{photo_id}.jpg, but have mod_rewrite redirect to http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid={photo_id}

Facebook comment/like url

Am having difficulty with the url for the facebook comment and like plugins. if I put in a simple url like "www.example.com" it works fine but my app is on a subdomain and uses querystrings to differentiate between different page states. So a sample url would be something like "facebook/example.com/index.php?id=001". However it appears facebook doesn't like this and keeps saying it is unreachable.
I can't believe facebook would limit the scope like this. Someone else must have encountered this. Any suggestions?
Facebook posts have an id something like 123456789012345_123456789012345.
The part prior to the underscore is the page id. The part after is the post id. The URL would be https://www.facebook.com/pageid/posts/postid, or https://www.facebook.com/123456789012345/posts/123456789012345.
Check your URL in Facebook's Debug Tool and this will show the tags Facebook is detecting on your page -in particular check your og:url tag isn't ommitting the URL parameters

Using Open Graph Protocol to Link Site with Facebook Page

I have a website at http://www.mydomain.com which has a corresponding facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/pages/mydomain/123456789.
I am looking for a way to integrate this facebook page URL into the open graph headers so that when someone shares my page, it actually shares the Facebook page instead of the site's URL.
Is this possible?
You can now do this by setting the og:url meta tag to the url of your Facebook page. Keep in mind that if you do this, other networks that use Open Graph tags will probably share your Facebook page instead of the site's url, so make sure that's what you want.
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.facebook.com/your-page"/>
Perhaps you already figured this out as this is an old question, but since I stumbled upon it... If I understand your question correctly, you do not even need the ogp meta tags to accomplish what you want to do. All you need to do is go to http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ and input your facebook page url in "url to like", https://www.facebook.com/pages/mydomain/123456789 from your example. Then select the options you want including the "send" button. Then get the code and paste it where you want it in your website. Now whenever someone clicks "like" on your website or clicks "send" to share your website, they will actually be liking or sending the url to your Facebook page and not your website. Is that what you were looking for?
