w3c validator shows error for facebook open graph - facebook

I get 2 errors while validating my site in w3c validator.
Line 7, Column 47: Attribute xmlns:og not allowed here.
xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" >
Line 7, Column 47: Attribute with the local name xmlns:fb is not serializable as XML 1.0.
xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" >
I guess it is related with Facebook open graph. I'm running my site on wordpress and using All in one SEO pack with Social features enabled. When Social feature is disabled, my site validates perfectly with no errors. Is there any fix to this problem?
This is how it looks on site
<!DOCTYPE html>
<!--// OPEN HTML //-->
<html lang="en-US"
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#"
xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" >
<!--// OPEN HEAD //-->
<head>
<!--// SITE TITLE //-->
<title>Aton usluge | Licencirana agencija za kreditno posredovanje</title>
<!--// SITE META //-->
<meta charset="UTF-8" />
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, user-scalable=no, initial-scale=1, maximum-scale=1">
and so on..

The xmlns attribute is deprecated in HTML+RDFa 1.1.
You should use the prefix attribute instead:
<html
prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns#
fb: http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
resp. if you want to keep the xmlns for XHTML5:
<html
xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns#
fb: http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">

open graph protocols not working

I have been trying to implement open graph protocols on my pages and keep getting errors through the facebook debugger - at first I was getting
Could Not Follow Redirect Path - Circular redirect path detected
and research suggested this could be fixed by making
<meta property = "og:url" content="http://www.mandyevansartist.com/newsletterone/index.html" />
into
<meta property = "og:url" content="http://www.mandyevansartist.com/newsletterone/index.html/" />
(adding the backslash at the end)
but this has created even more errors and dependent on wether I put the backslash on the end of the address when i plug it into the debugger - will not scrape any information at all - at this point i am getting
'URL returned a bad HTTP response code'
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">

<meta property = "og:description" content="Noahs Ark is the limited edition print showcased by unique artist Mandy Evans in this first website newsletter" />
<meta property = "og:image" content="http://www.mandyevansartist.com/newsletterone/images/sendinglove1.jpg" />
<meta property = "og:url" content="http://www.mandyevansartist.com/newsletterone/index.html/" />
<meta property = "og:type" content="website"/>
could someone point out what i am missing
It seems that your server is returning with a 301 code. You can see that with the following:
curl http://www.mandyevansartist.com/newsletterone/index.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>301
Moved Permanently</title> </head>
<body> <h1>Moved Permanently</h1> <p>The document has moved here.</p> </body></html>
Note that you redirect from ...newsletterone... to ...newsetterone.... But, the og:url provided points to newsletterone again, which will cause the crawler to get in a loop.
This is the part that you need to fix.

How to Redirecting to source url from form (where submit or close the form)

On our main intranet page (homepage) http://indi.cdc.com I created a link to InfoPath form that is on a site collection http://indi.cdc.com/salesteam. So the link looks like this. When user click Submit or Cancel they are not redirected back to homepage (http://indi.cdc.com). They are seeing "The form has been closed.). Please suggest.
I tried following and neither is doing the redirection.
http://indi.cdc.com/salesteam/Lists/RequestsList/Issue/newifs.aspx?Source=http://indi.cdc.com/Pages/Home.aspx
http://indi.cdc.com/salesteam/Lists/RequestsList/Issue/newifs.aspx?Source=http://indi.cdc.com/Pages/Home.aspx?target=http://indi.cdc.com/salesteam
Created a redirect page (http://indi.cdc.com/salesteam/SharedDocuments/Redirecting.html)
Created a view on the target list where the InfoPath form is redirect.aspx, edit the page and dropped a CEWP and reference above html file from it. (http://indi.cdc.com/salesteam/spteam/Lists/RequestsList/redirect.aspx)
Recreated the link on the homepage.
http://indi.cdc.com/salesteam/spteam/Lists/RequestsList/Issue/newifs.aspx?Source=http://indi.cdc.com/salesteam/Lists/RequestsList/redirecting.aspx
Here is the html code for redirecting.html page

Is my CDN or W3 Total Cache blocking the Facebook crawler?

Every new page I've added since yesterday (6) hasn't been able to pull data from the Facebook crawler. Debugger gives me Response code 200 and
error that must be fixed The 'og:type' property is required, but not present.
errors that should be fixed Inferred Property The 'og:url' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Both of these are actually on the page.
Crawler tells me it's seeing this:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
<script>
loooong token(?) information
</script>
</head>
<body>
<iframe style="display:none;visibility:hidden;" src="//content.incapsula.com/jsTest.html" id="gaIframe"></iframe>
</body>
</html>
I tried disabling/reenabling plugins that I've updated recently but that doesn't seem to d anything.
Ideas?

Multilingual Open Graph objects?

For a Facebook game, I want to have Open Graph picture objects with titles in multiple languages (specifically, English and German). I did everything as described in Facebooks open graph internationalization document, but somehow the objects (and actions) are always shown with English titles in the newsfeed and activities - and the app is definitely localized in its configuration.
Here's the URL of one of the objects: http://apps.facebook.com/spot-it/opengraph/picture/pictures.1A24.html
If I get it through Facebook's object debugger using the fb_locale parameter set to German, I see:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb# spot-it: http://ogp.me/ns/fb/spot-it#">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta property="og:locale:alternate" content="de_DE">
<meta property="og:locale:alternate" content="en_US">
<meta property="og:locale" content="de_DE">
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="419035224820013">
<meta property="og:type" content="spot-it:picture">
<meta property="og:url" content="http://apps.facebook.com/spot-it/opengraph/picture/pictures.1A24.html">
<meta property="og:title" content="Beißerchen">
<meta property="og:description" content="Findest du die Fehler in 'Beißerchen'?">
<meta property="og:image" content="http://d2tv32y5kdvj8c.cloudfront.net/assets/pictures/1A24_potd.jpg">
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
self.location.href = "";
</script>
</body>
</html>
So why doesn't Facebook use the German version when displaying actions involving that object to German users? Am I doing something wrong, or does internationalization for open graph simply not work?
in the app settings at developers.facebook.com > your app > "Localize" you can add support for additional languages.
you can set:
display name
tagline
description
detailed description
explanation for permissions
and all images like logo, icon, web banner, cover image…
i hope this is what you're looking for ;)

Facebook namespace problem causing invalid code

I have seen various articles on this site and on google about how to make facebook code valid, but none of the solutions seem to work for me.
I think the problem lies in my doc type decleration:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" xmlns:og="http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/" >
...
<meta property="og:site_name" content="my site name" />
<meta property="og:title" content="Buy...
Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
John
I'm having a similar problem.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML+RDFa 1.0//EN" "http://www.w3.org/MarkUp/DTD/xhtml-rdfa-1.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#" xml:lang="nl-NL">
...
<meta property="og:type" content="book" />
That's how almost all examples are like, and strangely it validates on w3c's validator, however all other validators including CSE Html validator and http://check.rdfa.info need a og prefix in front of the meta tag:
<og:meta property="og:type" content="book" />
That validates in almost anything except the official w3c validator. Not sure if facebook will parse it either. Why they chose not to use "name" is a big mystery for me. What a fine mess!
