I'm trying to get the Facebook like to work. It kind of works but it gives the wrong title. While I was messing around with the Facebook like button, I noticed that it didn't complete the url so it would give me
www.mysite.com/product#
instead of
www.mysite.com/product#item1
if I go to
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/
and I enter the correct url it shows up in the debugger, but it doesn't seem to work on my site.
Here is the Facebook code
<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://mysite/product#item1"></iframe>
That´s just an anchor on a Page, Facebook does not read that one. Meaning, it will not be a separate URL for Facebook. If you want different Metatags with the same Link, you have to use GET parameters instead.

As you can see I have put up the facebook like box with url http://facebook.com/ElizaDoolittle
The problem is that it doesnt work with all urls, try replacing the url with this url: http://www.facebook.com/fatme.safa.3?ref=fs
you will see an error notification. Why is that?? What makes the difference in url?

That is the address of a Facebook page for a musician.

That is the address of a user profile.
you will see an error notification. Why is that?
Because only pages can be liked, user profiles can not be liked. And since, the Like box also does not work for user profiles.
I need some information, why like box frame not working: 'Could not retrieve the specified page. Please verify correct href was passed in.'. I`m testing this href in http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug - it says correct answer, but frame not working.
In access logs for UA facebookexternalhit/1.1 always answer status 200 (and 301/302 for specific page).
example page: http://www.now.ru/item/series/comedy/Univer_222394
additional information: on some pages frame works, and some does not work
thanks.
The Facebook Like Box is really designed to use the URL for a Facebook page, not for a general Web Page. It pulls Timeline content from a fan page within Facebook.
It can be used for a Web Page if the page has defined Open Graph Meta Tags and has been Liked at least once. However, there will be no "stream" functionality. The Like-Box for a Web Page would just have functionality similar to the Facepile plugin (except that Facepile just shows you friends, and a Like-Box also shows non-friends.)
Typically, though, you would want to supply the Like-Box with a Facebook Page URL in the following format:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/Facebook-Page-Name/Facebook-Page-ID
Perhaps you are intending to use a Like Button or Facepile Social Plugin instead? Either of those can accept any URL as input.
I´ve inserted a FACEBOOK like button succesfully, except that the meta tag 'og:site_name' is not working...:
On my facebook page, it shows the name of the main domain (http://www.domain.com) and not the content of the meta tag 'og:site_name' (FAN CLUB)
I've research everything there is to research without success... Something so simple(?) Am i missing something?
Thanks!
Feeding your URL through the Facebook Debugger should clear Facebook's caching of your URL and refresh any changes you have made. Try passing your URL to the debugger and it should be refreshed to the correct value.
The debugger will also direct you to any other problems you may have with regard to integrating your URL into the Open Graph Protocol...
Having some issues with the feed dialog when attempting to post to a event or fan page. In my application I am using the JS API and FB.ui using the method feed.
But for a demonstration you can do it using the feed url too for example:
http://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?app_id=131727613511269&to=287203454659917&redirect_uri=http://www.timeanddate.com/
After clicking share you get the:
Sorry, something went wrong.
We're working on getting this fixed as soon as we can.
Where:
app_id = your app
to = a event / fan page
redirect_uri = a url you are allowed to redirect to
note that the app has publish_stream permissions. (it also has manage_pages for fan pages)
The app in question by the way is: http://apps.facebook.com/tndcountdown/
Thanks,
Andy
EDIT:
An Example taken straight from the documentation:
http://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?app_id=123050457758183&link=http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/&picture=http://fbrell.com/f8.jpg&name=Facebook%20Dialogs&caption=Reference%20Documentation&description=Using%20Dialogs%20to%20interact%20with%20users.&message=Facebook%20Dialogs%20are%20so%20easy!&redirect_uri=http://www.example.com/response&to=287203454659917
just replace to=287203454659917 with an event.. (make a test one like it did there)
A few issues I've run into will dialog is that Facebook tries to fill in any missing data. So if you don't provide a description and caption, Facebook will try to scrape the page to get that content. Depending on how the page responds to the "scraping" Facebook will error out. I always make sure I include at least a space for those fields.
It seems the feed url you provided is similar to what is in the documentation. But the demo in the documentation has extra parameters.
I'm about to add page support to my Facebook app, which does the same thing as yours.

As I posted here - Facebook Send Button - 'Sorry, something went wrong.'...
I had the same problem & worked out that this was due to linking to a Facebook page that did not have a vanity URL set up (i.e. http://www.facebook.com/CubicMushroom rather than http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=261963707177053). If you set up a vanity URL for the page it seems to work OK (providing you link to the vanity URL version of the page URL).
To claim a vanity URL, once you have a certain no of like (it used to be 25, but think it's a little lower now) visit https://www.facebook.com/username/
I'm trying to add a facebook "like" button to my page, and it is appearing just fine. My problem is that once it is clicked by a user, it says "Like NUMBER" then resets as if the request was canceled or something.
The weird thing is that if I try to like a page using my facebook account it works, but I tried letting a friend like some content and this behavior appeared.
I created a facebook app, specified the site url with a trailing slash, and site domain. I used the app ID with FB.init, and with the open graph tags. I can't figure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.

First, for the count to work correctly, Facebook needs to have access to the page (in other words a public page). Check your URL in the linter tool (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) to ensure it can been seen by Facebook.
Secondly, ensure your og: tags are correctly setup. Once again, you can use the linter tool to do that.
Facebook like buttons will show this behavior until they have been scraped by Facebook. That scraping (facebook like docs) will occur every 24 hours, when an admin clicks the like button or the url is put in the url debugger/linter. From what I can tell doing that will solve the problem for that specific link, but not any others you may have on your site.
I don't know of a generic solution for dynamically generated pages unfortunately.
