This one has been driving me crazy!
I"m trying to get social sharing to work on Facebook and Linked in for my business. The site in question is www.helio.com.au - i've got all of the og:foobar tags in the header but for some reason they are not being picked up by facebook or linkedIn
Here is a link to the LinkedIn inspector
https://www.linkedin.com/post-inspector/inspect/www.helio.com.au
Note that linkedin doesn't find the image
And here is one for facebook
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/?q=www.helio.com.au
facebook says the image has an invalid content type, it's also pulling the wrong URL and I can't figure out where from.
What stupid mistake have I made?
The site is built on salesforce communities

We are developing a mobile app that if share a FB post link to it, like you can share on WhatsApp, we want to be able to read the title or summary or start of that FB post, and redirect our App to the corresponding area.
So it works on Instagram using: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-basic-display-api/
Where give the post ID and it pulls in the caption text etc.
So works for IG and some other socials for anonymous users.
But for FB links, it mostly shows us the login page, in most cases (sometimes it worked on localhost maybe if logged-in - but could not recreate on server environments).
So cannot pull in any info about the post have shared using a direct FB share URL or maybe via some method on FB Graph Api, we could not see an easy way.
Does anyone know a generic method that anyone sharing a post to an app, or even just being able to see the title or summary of a FB post using the default share link, so we can direct our App to the right page.
So essentially using a FB post share link, we want to be able to read some basic data of that Post, whether logged in or not,
and happy to do this via Graph API or FB App or any other ways.
Again in summary - need to Get some user defined parameters or text or ideally hashtags from the post just using the share link of any FB Post/Page.
Any ideas or help appreciated.
I am trying to find some clear information on how to link a facebook page with a facebook app. Reason being is that I would like to use the app access token in order to manage the page via Open Graph.
I have checked this answer How to link a Facebook app with an existing fan page .. however I am unable to find "App Details" in my app page.
I found many ways how to do this, but it seems facebook keeps updating its interface and this information gets out dated easily.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
It is maybe a duplicated question, sorry if it is.
I want to post on a Facebook page that I own. I am using the graph API but I don't know how can I do this.
I have an APP, I'm using it for Facebook login. But I don't know if I have to make another APP just for the extra permissions for publishing on my page because I don't want that the APP ask to extra permissions to the users that are using the Facebook's login in my page.
My goal is create posts to my Facebook page from my website.
Thanks for the help, and sorry for my bad English writing.
I need to display the "wall posts" from Facebook page to another website's social media wall.
The problem is that I never used neither Facebook nor any other social networks and got no clues on how do they work. That's why I'm pretty confused with API and it's terms.
The API docs say that I need a pageId for the page I'd like to display and appId and appSecret to get an access token to the feed.
I understand how to get the token and how to parse the results - but what kind of Application do I need for that? Should I create a facebook profile and make an application that would generate me these app codes? Or ask a page's owner to do it?
I spent quite a time googling but it must be something too obvious to write about it in docs? Help please?
The administrator of the facebook page is the only one that has access to the posts on the page wall.
For the APP:
The application can be created in any facebook verified account - go to: https://developers.facebook.com/apps and create the new app - this will give you the app id and secret.
Use the Facebook SDK that you feel most comfortable with to develop the app.
For the wall posts: There are several Graph API requests for wall posts in the form of:
https://graph.facebook.com/[pageid]/[call] where [call] can be posts, statuses, feed, home. See http://facebook.stackoverflow.com/questions/6214535/what-is-the-difference-between-feed-posts-and-statuses-in-facebook-graph-api for details about each.
Using an access token (that you said you already know how to get) the administrator of the page will be able to call the above URLs and get the wall posts.
For the part with posting the info on another social media website you have to specify the exact environment where you want the wall posts to end up.
I'm trying to post a link to the wall of a facebook Page through the graph api.
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/api/post/
Unfortunately the api is not very well documentet so i have some problems:
How do i get the "Share"-action to appear under a link i've posted?
How can i disable thumbnails for the link?
How can i make the caption linked
All those works when posting manually but i havn't found a way to do it through the api. I know it's possible though since i've seen other apps do it.
