I'm just trying to add the name of the author in the share box dialog in FB
I've added the following meta and og property:
<meta name="author" content="foutight.com">
<meta property="og:type" content="article"/>
<meta property="og:article:author" content="foutight.com"/>
But no success. Any suggestions. Thanks.
That comes from the <meta name='author' content='...'/> section. It looks like it's appearing on http://foutight.com/posts/photo/242 - maybe you've just got a cached page?
Run it through oglint.com, and try and re-scrape it.
Try the author whitout the "og".
<meta property="og:type" content="article"/>
<meta property="article:author" content="foutight.com"/>
<meta name="author" content="foutight.com">
<meta property="article:author" content="https://www.facebook.com/author_profile" />
article:author may contain an array of Facebook profile URLs or IDs of the authors for this article.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph/object-type/article/
Open function.php and add code :
function author_chauit() {
if ( is_singular('post') ) {
echo '<meta name="author" content="'.get_the_author().'">';
} else {
echo '<meta name="author" content="'.get_bloginfo( 'name' ).'">';
}
}
add_action( 'wp_head', 'author_chauit' );
notes : add in end functioncode

I'm using the Open Graph Object Debugger to test this link: http://ayconatest.co.nf/?p=1957, and all the properties are there including the image, except it's invisible. You can click on it and see it, but it doesn't show up, even though the dimensions are 500x375 px. What's up with that?
Here's my header code:
<?php if (have_posts()):while(have_posts()):the_post(); endwhile; endif;?>
<!-- the default values -->
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="271801723026128" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="779283165" />
<!-- if page is content page -->
<?php if (is_single()) { ?>
<meta property="og:url" content="<?php the_permalink() ?>"/>
<meta property="og:title" content="<?php single_post_title(''); ?>" />
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php echo strip_tags(get_the_excerpt($post->ID)); ?>" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:image" content="<?php $src = wp_get_attachment_image_src( get_post_thumbnail_id($post->ID), array( 500,375 ) ); echo $src[0]; ?>" />
<!-- if page is others -->
<?php } else { ?>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" />
<meta property="og:description" content="<?php bloginfo('description'); ?>" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://ayconatest.co.nf/wp-content/themes/imbalance2/images/logo.png" /> <?php } ?>
And here's what it returns (Ctrl + U):
<!-- the default values -->
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="271801723026128" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="779283165" />
<!-- if page is content page -->
<meta property="og:url" content="http://ayconatest.co.nf/?p=1957"/>
<meta property="og:title" content="النباتات تستطيع القيام بعمليات GoPro لاقتصاد الطاقة" />
<meta property="og:description" content="كلما أثيرت مسألة للنقاش في الساحة الوطنية حول ما يتصل بالهوية الحضارية للشعب المغربي إلا ووجدت تيارين متقابلين يتجاذبان الموضوع ويعبران عن رؤيتين متضادتين, أو مايصطلح عليه Statu-quo وهذا أمر طبيعي، وطبيعي كذلك أن يكون أحد الرأيين وأحدهما فقط صائبا ما" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://ayconatest.co.nf/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/plantsthumb.jpg" />
<!-- if page is others -->
Incidentally, the debugger detects and shows any other picture that is hotlinked from another website. This leads me to think there's something wrong with my hosting, or maybe my folder structure? but I don't know what exactly.
The URLs used as the og:image in your examples doesn't exist / work:
I checked them both - and the screenshot below is of what happens when I try to reach the second example, http://ayconatest.co.nf/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/plantsthumb.jpg
Ensure the value you set for og:image is accessible externally and that should fix your issue
I am try set up payment for the FB application for with the static-priced products;
On the Javascript side, I do:
function callOrderUp()
{
alert("GO!1");
FB.ui({
method : 'pay',
action: 'purchaseitem',
display: 'popup',
product : "https://www.manyfbgames.com/ninetofive/products/product1.html",
quantity : 1
},
function(response)
{
alert(JSON.stringify(response, null, 4));
}
);
}
The contents of product files are:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head prefix=
"og: http://ogp.me/ns#
fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb#
product: http://ogp.me/ns/product#">
<meta property="og:type" content="og:product" />
<meta property="og:title" content="Test 1" />
<meta property="og:plural_title" content="Test 2" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://manyfbgames.com/ninetofive/products/product1.png" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Friend Smash Coins to purchase upgrades and items!" />
<meta property="og:url" content="https://www.manyfbgames.com/ninetofive/products/product1.html" />
<meta property="product:price:amount" content="2"/>
<meta property="product:price:currency" content="USD"/>
</head>
</html>
For some reason, I always get this error:
An error occurred. Please try again later.
API Error Code: 1383051
API Error Description: Can't parse open graph object. Property price doesn't exist for item 218298155037105
But I am sure that price to the product data is correct, and I can see that price is set! What else might be causing this?
You have an og:url tag pointing to a different URL - this redirects Facebook to that URL, which is not in your control and may not have the correct tags for your product
the og:url tag should point to the canonical URL for your object, probably the same URL you're rendering the tags from in most cases
I had an action which used to work fine until today morning but now its not behaving the way it should.
Facebook is not catching variables that i send after "index.jsp?". Because of which though the actions are published it show it shows null for the puzzle id and timing.
Below are codes i tried both gave me same issues.
FB.api('/me/mpuzzleapp:solve?mpuzzle='+encodeURIComponent('{mycompleteurl}/index.jsp?mid='+mid+'&timing='+timing+'&access_token='+accessToken),'post',
function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
//alert(response.error.message);
}else{
alert("Action posted successfully.")
}
});
FB.api(
'/me/mpuzzleapp:solve',
'post',
{
mpuzzle: '{mycompleteurl}/index.jsp?mid='+mid+'&timing='+timing+'&access_token='+accessToken
},
function(response) {
if (!response || response.error) {
alert(response.error.message);
}else{
alert("Action posted successfully.")
}
}
);
Previously this used to work fine, Now it is just not able to catch parameter with my url. the link that was posted in my wall is this.
https://apps.facebook.com/mpuzzleapp/index.jsp?fb_action_ids=10151927328076515&fb_action_types=mpuzzleapp%3Asolve&fb_source=timeline_og&action_object_map=%7B%2210151927328076515%22%3A401787199906324%7D&action_type_map=%7B%2210151927328076515%22%3A%22mpuzzleapp%3Asolve%22%7D&action_ref_map=%5B%5D
it is missing mid and timing parameter.
I had to change my og:url tag and it worked perfect :
Old :
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="278272228942900" />
<meta property="og:type" content="mpuzzleapp:mpuzzle" />
<meta property="og:url" content="https://apps.facebook.com/mpuzzleapp/index.jsp" />
<meta property="og:title" content="MPuzzle 3" />
<meta property="mpuzzleapp:to" content="friends" />
<meta property="mpuzzleapp:timing" content="00:00:45" />
<meta property="og:image" content="https://www.vishweshshetty.com/Facebook/puzzlemsg/65/images/icon.jpg" />

I have a facebook application where the user choose 4 of his friends and then it creates a video (swf) with the pictures of your friends in it (loaded via xml). So I need to share this video on the user timeline. Everything works fine but the video is not embedded in the post on his timeline, there is only a post with the link to the page in it.
The weird thing is, if I post the url directly on my timeline, the video is embedded, but not if the same link is posted via the application.
here is my code called by the share button in js :
function postToFeed() {
var obj = {
method: 'feed',
link: 'https://mysite.com/flash/share-page.php?id=22',
picture: 'https://mysite.com/images/video-preview.jpg',
name: 'Name',
caption: 'Caption',
description: 'Description'
};
function callback(response) {
//some code here
}
FB.ui(obj, callback);
}
and the code in my share-page.php
<?php
$id_inscription = $_GET['id'];
$video_url = 'https://mysite.com/flash/share-page.php?id=22';
$video_preview_image = 'https://mysite.com/images/video-preview.jpg';
?>

Found it, in the javascript you have to add
source: 'https://mysite.com/flash/app.swf'
DOesnt work for me .
Also facebook says ,It is NOT supposed to work By Design .
https://developers.facebook.com/bugs/589975484398226?browse=external_tasks_search_results_526fc388b99e18881434478
Please share here your code snippet if you could make it work . I have the meta tags taking care for the secure video Url as well .
My problem was when some one is liking my website, the image, description, title etc. where completly wrong it took the first which is the service level agreement in my website. So I figured I have to add opengraph meta tags so I did:
<meta property="og:url" content="http://url.com/" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="My Web" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />
<meta property="og:title" content="My Web.com" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://url.com/logo.png" />
<meta property="og:description" content="My Web is a new community" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="7363627862327638" />
The problem is, it is still not working, the likes information is wrong, and I waited atleast 72 hours, so the cache of Facebook is not the problem.
Does anyone know what could be the problem? Thanks alot already!
Checkout this.. tutorial.
and use facebook debug tool to clear cache and set new metatags for your page.
Try this it worked for me -
Use Dynamic content in meta tag.
<?php
$params = array();
if(count($_GET) > 0) {
$params = $_GET;
} else {
$params = $_POST;
}
// defaults
if($params['type'] == "") $params['type'] = "restaurant";
if($params['locale'] == "") $params['locale'] = "en_US";
if($params['title'] == "") $params['title'] = "default title";
if($params['image'] == "") $params['image'] = "thumb";
if($params['description'] == "") $params['description'] = "default description";
?>
