Dynamic Facebook Share/Comments in Ember - facebook

After trying a few different packages to help with updating meta and og tags unsuccessfully, I am exploring other options to integrate Facebook sharing or commenting onto my Ember site. But I seem to be unable to dynamically generate the data-href value in my HBS templates.
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://www.whatever.com/reviews/{{model.id}}" data-width="510px" data-numposts="10"></div>
Whenever you access the first review, the comments load fine. But once you go to another, even though the href is updated the comment plugin no longer loads. Is there a way to incorporate this with dynamic URLs?

Inserting Facebook plugin on mediawiki

I am trying to get the Facebook plugin working on my wiki. Using the guidelines provided by Facebook I copied the Java Script SDK in MediaWiki:Common.js, which should run it for all users.
Now I am trying to enter the simple HTML code also generated by Facebook :
<div id="Facebook" class="fb-page" data-href="(my FB page)" data-small-header="false" data-adapt-container-width="true" data-hide-cover="false" data-show-facepile="true" data-show-posts="false"></div>
'My FB page' is of course replaced by the actual URL.
I tried two ways of entering the code.
Making a Template:Facebook page and linking to it like {{Facebook}} on the actual page
Even though this is not recommended forcing the html by adding the parameter $wgRawHtml = true; and entering the code in the ... tags.
None of this ways resulted in the Facebook plugin appearing on my wiki.

Facebook Comments are associated to an url

I'm going to add the ability to comments the products trought the "Facebook comments plugin" on a dynamic web marketplace based on Yii framework .
So, today I created a new facebook app, I included the facebook sdk js file and I added this html code to the view that render a single product:
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="<?=$this->createAbsoluteUrl('site/courseDetail',array('id'=>$model->course_profile_id))?>" data-num-posts="10" data-width="470"></div>.
The comment is linked to the URL!!
Well, what happens if the domain change or if I decide to add an url rewrite engine to my web application?
I suppose that I loose all the comments....weird....it is a big limitation...
I read the documentation: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/
and I saw that now is strongly recommended to use the html5 code because the FBML has been deprecated. Starting June 1, 2012 FBML apps will no longer work as all FBML endpoints will be removed.
So, I can't use the xid parameter such as on <fb:comments...>
right?

Facebook “Like Box” and JQuery

I'm attempting to add a FB "Like Box" to a website I'm developing. Not too familiar with Facebook apps, but so far I've gone the non-IFRAME route, using the FB SDK script include.
I'm fairly certain I've got almost everything setup correctly. In fact, I see the widget appear when I visit the page UNCACHED (i.e. in FF, I hit CTRL+SHIFT+R to reload all content to avoid loading from cache). Once I revisit the site, or move around within the site by clicking links, the content does not reappear.
I'm wondering if it's an issue with a) the channel.php file, or b) the apps interaction with my use of JQuery. The channel.php file is verbain what is provided by Facebook (using PHP's caching mechanism).
Here's the site currently: http://www.morningfatty.com/demo - It might be easier to list this rather than post several code snippets.
I went to your website and didn't see the like box. I checked the HTML code and it all appeared fine. The div looked like <div data-header="false" data-stream="false" data-border-color="#40ADAD" data-show-faces="true" data-colorscheme="light" data-width="192" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/morningfatty" class="fb-like-box"></div>
I went to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/ and tried your link http://www.facebook.com/morningfatty and lo-and-behold the like box didn't display there.
I tried going directly to http://www.facebook.com/morningfatty and it redirected me to http://www.facebook.com/MorningFatty. I noticed the change of case in the name. So I went back and tried http://www.facebook.com/MorningFatty in the like-box and it worked!!.
I believe that you page will work once you update the casing on the url. :)

The title, link and description don't work

I've been reading guides and examples for a long time (hours) but I can't manage. I tried to use all html meta tag like title, description, and og:property. Also tried to use the link sharer and also to create a new blank page with just the info I want to share to facebook in order to test. Also I tried to generate an random url in php so to have always a different url variable (the url to share and also the url of the main page containing the script). I also grabbed (url linter) a lot of time the url to clean the cache of facebook. It always give me the title of the site domain as title or the url itself as the shared title and description. I don't know what to do.
The main web site is from joomla. In the code of index of joomla I put a php include if the url has the variable "articolo" id. This incuded php page has regulat head body etc. So maybe I facebook check the main meta of joomla first? So now I tried to open a popup with just the page for sharing. Look here: link
It's possible that the title is locked in, meaning that after X number of likes Facebook doesn't allow you to change it anymore. Can you give us an example URL you're having issues with?
EDIT
Ok, now the link you provided shows some very interesting output. http://modernolatina.it/wjs/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=96&Itemid=258&autore=6&articolo=6
First, you webserver, instead of sending back a 200 code, is sending back a 500 code.
Secondly the HTML your webserver is sending back has two HTML tags (Do a view source on the content returned)
Fix up those two issues and I think the linter will be happier with your page.
Test your page here:

Facebook feed link back to article not working for Facebook Comments implemented on custom CMS

I implemented facebook comments across a legacy, custom CMS. I used the XFBML implementation. Everything works as expected except when clicking the links back to the article page from a commenter's facebook feed the comment box does not show any comments. The link is of this form:
{Article URL}?fb_comment_id={comment_id_string}
And if I remove the comment parameter and only go to the article url the comment box renders correctly with the comment and all other comments on the article. So, it's some issue with the fb_comment_id parameter. One weird thing about how I had to implement the comments is, because of how the routing on the site works, I could not use server side code to set the the URL parameter in the <fb:comments> object. So I had to use this jquery code in the <head>:
<script>
// assign current page to comments url
$(document).ready(function() {
$('fb\\:comments').each(function(){
$(this).attr('href', window.location);
});
});
</script>
And used this for the actual <fb:comments> code:
<fb:comments href="{site's root URL}" num_posts="8" width="570"></fb:comments>
So, I figure doing this client side may be causing the issue. Not doing this server side is a hard constraint though, and everything else works so I'm hopeful there may be some way to make this work. If making the comment link work correctly is impossible, a reasonable hack would be to rewrite the link in the facebook feed so that it just points to the article url without adding the comment parameter. Any suggestions? Thanks!
NOTE: I've also tried using the html5 comments implementation and there is the same issue.;
Once facebook has rendered the iframe based upon your fb:comments tag, does it have the correct url? I am thinking it does not. You may have to call FB.XFBML.parse() after you inject the complete
