I've been using Facebook's Feed Dialog to let users on a site share content on their Facebook feed. On their feed there would be a picture that serves as a link to the page on my site, with some text below it like name, caption and description fields. All of these - picture, name, caption and description are now deprecated and stop working now :( Is there any other way to achieve this functionality using a different method, i've proved the quote parameter but I don't like it.
You cannot post pictures on user profiles, not with the API and not with the feed dialog. The feed dialog is for sharing URLs, but they can include an image in the og:image tag of the page source. So you just need to add the correct image in the page source, with an absolut path: https://ogp.me/
I am using Facebook comment box in my website for commenting purpose on pictures, its working fine, i am also using a share button which is working fine too, but the problem is when its shared or users do commenting on the picture it is shared to their walls but a default website logo is shown there, i want to share the current picture on which user made comments or shared it ... I am posting it here because i couldnt find it on google or i was unable to make a query for google.. Thanks in advance
Test your link at https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug to see what thumbnails are pulled in by facebook when shared.
To configure which thumbnail to show when an URL from your site is shared you have to add this property to your html source in the header.
<meta property='og:image' content='url to First Image in your Page etc'/>

I have a wordpress blog inside a CMS of an institution! I cannot change that.
The wordpress-blog is implemented as an iFrame in the CMS.
I tried a few wordpress plugins for social media inlcuding facebook likes. But unfortunatly facebook is not finding the content of the blogpost!
Sometimes it takes the content and the pictures of the blogpost, sometimes it just takes a picture of the CMS and sometimes it just posts the link. Especially if i want to share it by hand by "posting" the blogpost of wordpress in facebook.
Is there any possibility to let facebook manually know where the relevant content is (maybe by div-id or something?)
when I added the open-graph meta data to my website, every Like that my webpage gets is saved only for the webpage under a "ghost page". means that if i want to create a "facebook page" for the website, it's totally separated from the website, and i need to re-build my audience again.
is there a way to merge between them?
For example, if I insert a Like-Box to my website, and I click on the Facebook link in the Like-Box - it redirects me to the website, and not let me see the Facebook page.
if I'll change the link to the Facebook page, the likes number will be much lower.
I know i can merge under "Resources" but i wonder if it will transform my "Facebook page" to another link to my website. which i dont want.
So, how can I let people click on the link: "MySite on Facebook" and get to my site on facebook and not to my site...
I think that the ultimate solution will we set the like button to the "facebook page", and not to the page itself. what do you think?
You will have to create a Fan Page for you website and move the Likes over. There is a page migration / merge tool you can use, but it only works if the pages have similar names. You can find it in the Page Admin screen.
For example, I have an article in my site,
http://abc.com/1.html
and I put a like button plugin from Facebook in the website for this article (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like)
And I also have a fan page in Facebook and share this article (by sharing a link).
If I press the link button in my site, the fan page like for this article does not add up. And vice versa, if I click the like button of this article in fan page, it does not reflect on the website either.
So is it the default behavior? I thought the article URL is provided for the Facebook Like plugin, the info should be linked. Anything I am missing here?
Thanks.
When you put an Like Button on your website for this particular article,
it's usually linked to an "Open Graph FaceBook Page", not your regular Facebook Fan Page, with a wall page. Open Graph FaceBook Page will redirect users to your own website. The good part of it, is that you'll be able to post news in the fans news feed.
When you share that article on your Fan Page, fans would LIKE the news feed post, not your website's article.
You can link the like buttons to your Fan Page, but you'll loose specific article liking capabilities.
As described in the doc (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like) :
Can I link the Like button to my Facebook page?
Yes. Simply specify the URL of your Facebook page in the href parameter of the button.
The first like is for your site, the second like is for the feed story -- they are two distinct objects.
