I'm trying to set up the Facebook social Comments Plugin and use the Page-based Moderation View. I've added all the necessary code, but the "Moderation Tool" link does not appear next to the Comments box. The page does not require a logon. What am I doing wrong? The page is http://www.ergo-sum.net/music/MaudIrving.html and you can see the source to see the code I put in it.
You will need to set up the OG tags correctly for your page. Also the value of <meta property="fb:admins" content="..."/> should be your user id and not URL to your profile. Once you fix these issues, run you URL through the URL debugger to ensure that the crawler has picked up the new values correctly. It will also display any issues that you URL may have and you will need to fix those as well.

I've successfully added a Share button to my website using the following code:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/share-button
It produces a popup with a link to the og:url along with the title of the linked page and a picture from it, which I can then post, and it shows up on my Facebook.
I am having 3 issues with this:
I've update the og:url and data-href after page load, using jquery, but the new values get ignored when I Share.
the og:title, og:description, and og:image don't appear to be used at all.
Sometimes I'd like to Share some custom text (and images if possible) without any url.
I'm aware that Facebook provide other tools/APIs that provide more versatility but it seems that would mean my site would have to go through a review process, and I'd have to code for security. This is not an option and I want to stick to the popup method.
Hope someone can help. Many thanks.
If the tags do not change when posting, refresh (and test) the tags in the debugger: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/sharing/
Dynamically created Open Graph tags (with JavaScript) will be ignored, the tags have to be in the original page source.
Im trying to enable moderation with the Facebook comments plugin and I realized I hadn't yet added the following:
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="{{app id}}"/>
The Facebook Sharing Debugger was returning the following warning:
"e 'fb:app_id' property should be explicitly provided, Specify the app ID so that stories shared to Facebook will be properly attributed to the app. Alternatively, app_id can be set in url when open the share dialog."
I added the meta tag (with my correct app id number) to my index.html file but the debugger still returns the same warning and my comments plugin still doesn't show the Moderation tab.
It's been hours since I added that meta tag.
Can anyone offer some insight on this issue and/or a solution?
I have added a Facebook Like-Button to my website, which works perfectly. It shows the perfect link to my website on the wall of the persons who click it.
There's only one problem and I can't seem to solve it in any way.
The link also includes a preview of my website, but instead of a complete preview or a preview of my header it shows a picture of one of the link-buttons of my website!
The script itself doesn't contain anything to change or set a preview picture and changing names of pictures, links and header doesn't solve it either. No matter what I do, it still keeps on showing the button...
What can I do bout it?
I've contacted my serverhost but they don't know it either?
You can set the image that shows on Facebook with the following og tag in the head of your page:
<meta property="og:image" content="http://example.com/image.jpg" />
Facebook requires some more open graph tags. (Formerly known as meta tags.)
You have to make sure the facebook linter correctly interprets your page. Use the Facebook debugger to check and fix all issues.

I've added facebook comments to my website using the following steps:
I created a new app herehttps://developers.facebook.com/apps/
In the auth dialog page for the app, I set 'default activity privacy' to 'Public'
I got the code for the comments box here https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/
I used the HTML5 version of the code and added it to my site in the two places specified - right after the body tag and where I want the comments to appear.
I then opened the comments moderation tool for my new app.
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/comments?view=recent_comments
I clicked on 'Settings' and turned on 'Make every post public by default'
I also listed myself as a moderator.
I also added
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="{YOUR_APPLICATION_ID}">
inside the head tags for the page.
When I go to my site - the comments box appears to work ok. I can make a comment, but I can only see comments made by me. I cannot see comments made by people I am not friends with. How do I fix this problem? I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks
Every comment you leave on a facebook-comments driven web site is public, the same way it is on a fan page. Even a non facebook member can leave a comment.
I am looking for a way to turn it off and get the same permissions you have on your facebook wall. Currently, everybody who has the link can see the page content and all previous comments.
Had the same issue and figured out that Facebook grabs urls differently for displaying and submiting comments.
If the url you're providing him in data-href (e.g. short url) is different than the window.location url (url in address bar), then it's probably the case.
P.S. I know that the question is from 2011, but someone else may show up with the same problem.
I'm implementing a facebook like button on a simple blog/news section I created in an MVC 3 web application.
I used the XFBML way to implement this.
It works, but not completely.
When clicking and checking it on facebook, it shows the title I specified.
Here is a piece of code.
The viewbag information comes from my view, this is in the layout/master page.
<meta property="og:title" content="#ViewBag.FGTitle" />
But since it's a news item, I also want the content of the article to be displayed.
It only shows, the title, the site name and that's it.
I checked the facebook developer page, but I cant find a meta property/Open graph type in which i can set this content.
any ideas?
see the facebook url linter it shows you exactly what facebook sees when greping the url. Also you should read up on the other meta tags
