I am using facebooks's share button, exactly as specified in https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/share-button/.
I tried the HTML5 and XFBML versions, but both generate the link below, which returns http error 500 when the user submits. If I manually remove the app_id parameter (which I did not inform anywhere), it works perfectly.
https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?app_id=309437425817038&sdk=joey&u=http%3A%2F%2Fg1.globo.com%2Feconomia%2Fnoticia%2F2014%2F05%2Fministro-da-fazenda-diz-que-nao-vai-faltar-energia-no-pais.html&display=popup
I am using this from my company's intranet, to share a link from the company's external website.
This is my code:
<!-- Facebook -->
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/pt_BR/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.0";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<fb:share-button href="<SHARED_URL>" type="button_count"></fb:share-button>
<!-- <div class="fb-share-button" data-href="<SHARED_URL>" data-type="button_count"></div>-->
So where does this app_id comes from? How do I get rid of it? I want to use the button with the share count, therefore I wouldn't like to call sharer.php directly.

I came across something strange; the Facebok Page Plugin doesn't load on mobile only if it's for a specific Facebook page.
My code:
<div id="fb-root"> </div>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s);
js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.4&appId=1591121954498982";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<div class="fb-page" data-adapt-container-width="true" data-height="350" data-hide-cover="false" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/סיפורי-פירות-Fruit-Story/410067012494711?fref=ts" data-show-facepile="true" data-show-posts="true" data-small-header="false"> </div>
Changing just this line:
data-href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/סיפורי-פירות-Fruit-Story/410067012494711?fref=ts"
to another page's URL such as:
data-href="https://www.facebook.com/CocaColaUnitedStates?fref=ts"
...makes the plugin load fine.
Is it because the page URL contains Hebrew? Is there a relevant page setting?
I set up a small demo page:
http://s-fruit.co.il/facebook-test.html
Found the cause!
This is an intentional (though peculiar) behavior of Facebook when dealing with age-restricted pages and guest users (not logged in, as it often happens on mobile browsers as most use the app).
Why not simply display a login prompt? Some paraphrased info? Who knows. At least the mystery is solved.

I have implemented the Facebook comments plugin to a page on my site. In addition to this I would like to be bale to moderate the comments. I followed the instructions on the Facebook developer section and implemented as described. I wanted to use the inline moderation tool rather than create an app. So I placed the following meta data.
<meta property="fb:admins" content="533551342"/>
Where the content is set to my Facebook profile ID.
I have then placed the script code as per Facebook developer instructions.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&appId=672941899483225&version=v2.3";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
Once that is in place, I added the comments section to the site using the code instructed.
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://www.microspot.com/case-studies/boat_design.htm" data-width="540" data-numposts="10" data-colorscheme="light"></div>
So with all this in place the comments section shows and works, but the moderate link does not appear next to the number of posts text (which is what should happen according to face books documentation).
The web page is http://www.microspot.com/case-studies/boat_design.htm
Thanks in advance.
It seems the issue was not with the code but with Facebook re-indexing my changes. There is a tool on the Facebook developer page for debugging and indexing your changes.
Any update you make to the Facebook code on your webpage, especially the meta data, you should always use the following debug tool.
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
Simply paste your webpage link (should be a live page not local) into the box and follow the instructions each time you make a change.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&appId=672941899483225&version=v2.3";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
When trying to add a Facebook like button, my browser is getting a 404 error when attempting to load the FaceBook SDK from: connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js
Chrome developer tools shows the following:
GET http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1 404 (Not Found)
Referencing: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
I inserted the following right before <body> tag:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
Then I added the following where I wanted my like button:
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like" data-send="false" data-width="450" data-show-faces="false"></div>
Note: Using the default dev test data-href as an example.
I noticed that it worked when I accessed my page from another network.
Digging into it further, I found that it was a firewall on our network that was blocking requests to connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js.
i need to add facebook comment to each of my Products page
i'm using asp.net
and my Products page url like this (mydomail.com/Products.aspx?id=5)
is there any way to do this
Similar to the Facebook Like button, the Facebook comments plugin is associated with a URL -- it's what makes it unique.
Since you're using an id parameter in your URL, simply pass in your URL to the comments plugin. That should make it so that every page has a unique set of comments.
For example, on products page 5 you could do:
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="<?php echo 'http://myurl.com?id=' . $_GET['id']; ?>" data-width="470" data-num-posts="2"></div>
You'll of course want to make sure that you've dropped in the Facebook Javascript SDK snippet (I'd recommend loading this into the top of your HTML body dynamically):
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=336176363148369";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
There are other types of plugins that you can use (XFBML, IFRAME), and everything is documented here.
use
FB.XFBML.parse()
after your new facebook plugin
I installed facebook comments on my website. My website is a dynamic website and pages are like this www.example.com/page?id=54, www.example.com/page?id=67
If I post a comment in this page: www.site.com/page?id=54, it also appears in www.example.com/page?id=67. The comments are not unique for a page, but appear in every page. Why is that ?
It seems that FB ignores the ?query part of the URL when retrieving comments.
What you could do: use some form of URl rewriting, so that your URLs are in the form http://www.example.com/page/id/54/ or similar (i.e., appearing to not use the ?id=something query part). That way, the comments should load for each page separately.
Here is a solution that worked for me.
1- Copy this SDK from Facebook. Most probably you already did that.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function (d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=114215202075258";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
2- Then this
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://example.com" data-width="470" data-num-posts="3"></div>
3- The the solution line. Paste these lines of JS at the end. Make sure you do everything in the similar order as I have. It will work, no matter you have a ? in your URL.
<script>
$(".fb-comments").attr("data-href", window.location.href);
</script>
