Customizing Addthis Plugin - passing url using classic asp - facebook

I am having lots of problems while coming up with a solution.
I have a website that share text or image greetings( text greeting only at this time) on facebook or twitter etc. I planed to use Addthis.
So I created a function like this
<%
Function DisplayShareDiv(surl, sT, sSummary)
%>
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style"
addthis:url="<%=surl%>"
addthis:title="<%=sT %>"
id="addthis_container"
addthis:Description="<%=sSummary%>">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_google_plusone"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_email"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = { "data_track_addressbar": true };</script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=###################3"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->
<%
end function
%>
Now problem is that title appears when click on facebook or twitter but url doesn't. I also want to add the description to it. I have og tags too but they need to be dynamic too and i am having problems with fb not picking up that info either. Even though i have run it through debugger. I am at it for 2 days and it is now all a mish mash. I would really appreciate if someone can please help me!!

Now I'm getting this. Is that as you require?
I think facebook was picking up an old version of your page.
The text it picked up were from the OG and description meta tags on your home page.
If you run your page through their debugging tool, that forces it to scrape the latest version of your page. Plus you might get some useful info too. https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/

addthis share vs custom share button

i need to add to my website a share-feature.
this php page should allow users to share my webiste on the social network, but i need to set a custom url, title, description and image.
i have try with addthis share buttons, but i m not sure that is possibile to fully customize the buttons... right?
there are other services like that? or in my case is better to add share button with facebook api, twitter api,..?
this is the addthis share code:
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style">
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_1"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_2"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_3"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_preferred_4"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_compact"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_bubble_style"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//s7.addthis.com/js/300/addthis_widget.js#pubid=xx"></script>
You can set a custom title, url and description by specifying addthis:title, addthis:url and addthis:description tags in you toolbox HTML like this:
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style addthis_32x32_style"
addthis:url="http://example.com"
addthis:title="An Example Title"
addthis:description="An Example Description">
However, Facebook and some other services don't respect the values sent to them and scrape your page for og:title, og:url and og:description tags. So to be safe, specify the above in your AddThis code and also specify the same values for your og tags. You can read more about the og tags here:

facebook share buttuon image not working properly

i don't know english very well and sorry about this. then i try to explan my problem
i want to add facebook share attribute to my site. code below
head tag
<script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>
body tag
<a name="fb_share" type="button" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">
<img src="img/pFace.png" alt="Share on Facebook" /></a>
then test my code link doesnt work but when delete img tag share work properly.
where is the mistake?
I discover that actually issue is facebook share link is not loaded or delay.
In your view what is possible problem?
The share button is depreceated. It's preferable to use the 'like' button. See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/

Facebook share button is scraping a different page's info

I have this code for a Facebook custom share button:
<script>
function fbs_click() {
u=location.href;
t=document.title;
window.open('http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u='+encodeURIComponent(u)+'&t='+encodeURIComponent(t),'sharer','toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436');
return false;
}
</script>
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=<;url>" onclick="return fbs_click()" target="_blank" class="fb_share_link">
<img src="../../../../../image/photography/pics/fb-share.png" alt="Share this!" width="57" height="21" border="0">
</a>
This is supposed to scrape info from the page but for some reason it doesn't and it gets redirected to the site's main index.html.
I've tried adding facebook og tags and the extra code in the but to no avail.
Any thoughts?
EDIT: Having been told that the share function has been deprecated, I tried to do this with the feed dialog:
<a href="https://www.facebook.com/dialog/feed?link=http://www.travel2italy.com/Travel/Italy/Company/photography/index.html&picture=http://www.travel2italy.com/image/photography/pics/homepage/florence1-home.jpg&name=travel2italy.com&caption=Photo%20Gallery&description=A%20Beautiful%20photo%20of%20Florence&redirect_uri=http://www.travelive.com" target="_blank">
<img src="../../../../../image/photography/pics/fb-share.png" alt="Tweet this!" width="57" height="21" border="0">
</a>
but when i click on the link it takes me to facebook and says an error occured, wth?!:(
EDIT 2:
I wasn't aware that the app_id argument is needed, signed up for an app and it works now, but it strips away the #section I have at the end of the link (i want it to link to a specific slide in a slideshow)
EDIT 3:
Now some of the share buttons using the sharer do seem to work but don't pull all the photos off the page for me to choose the one i want, this is insane-o, could it just be a caching issue?

Wrong image & tekst Facebook Like Button

I'm using Facebook Like on my product pages. When somebody like's a product the wrong tekst and image is displayed on the Timeline of the User. Pinterest and Twitter are working okay.
I use Opencart version 1.5.2.1 and my buttons are from Addthis. The Pinterest button is modified for Opencart. The code i use is:
<div class="share"><!-- AddThis Button BEGIN --> <div
class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style "> <a
class="addthis_button_pinterest" pi:pinit:url=<?php echo
$breadcrumb['href']; ?> pi:pinit:media=<?php echo $thumb; ?>
pi:pinit:layout="none"></a> <a class="addthis_button_tweet"
tw:count="none"></a> <a class="addthis_button_facebook_like"
fb:like:width="85" /></a> </div> <script type="text/javascript"
src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=ra-4f68526319f4252e"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->
If someone is able to help me with this it would be very appreciated.
It was a user agent problem.
Facebook was not able to see my page.
It is solved now by putting the user agent in array.

AddThis button + Facebook Like button

I am trying to use AddThis button on a web page of mine, which you can share, like (facebook), and tweet (twitter) -
the AddThis code is pretty straight forward below,
<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div id="share" class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style ">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a><!---->
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#username=xa-4cdb5be51dc49c98"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->
but I don't understand - in the code above, where can I put the image or video url which I have uploaded and posted on my fb page? for instance the url below is the image from my facebook page that I want to track how many people like this picture through my website,
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150115644909972&set=a.10150115644754972.329183.55239684971
I have read through the documentation on AddThis but it doesnt explain this at all!
http://www.addthis.com/help/client-api#configuration-sharing
It points me to this,
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like#
again, this is a Facebook plugin, no used within AddThis. If I am using the Like button from the Facebook API, then I cannot use the AddThis plugin above, can I?
furthermore, The Like button from Faebook API seems to work on the Facebook page, but not an individual picture or video I uploaded/ posted on my Facebook Page, for instance, I tried this on my localhost, the picture on my Facebook Page won't collect the number of likes even though I have clicked the Like button on my screen.
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:like href="http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150115644909972&set=a.10150115644754972.329183.55239684971" layout="button_count" font="arial"></fb:like>
so my main doubt on the Like button itself - does it work on facebook only or does it apply to the individual picture/ video on my facebook page? I tried to find this answer from the facebook Like documentation but it doesn't explain anything about this.
it would be grateful if you have any idea. thanks!
Try this:
...
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"
expr:addthis:title='Photo'
expr:addthis:url='http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10150115644909972&set=a.10150115644754972.329183.55239684971'>
<a class="addthis_button_facebook_like" fb:like:layout="button_count"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_tweet"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a><!---->
</div>

You might get an error with the add this way to display the Facebook Like Button and IIS7.0.
I had the problem yesterday and have posted a solution here.
Hope this helps,
