I am trying to share a from my site on facebook
and it just wont display the image.
I tried the debug tool
and it says that every thing is ok...
the most wired thing is that when I put the same page on a different server it works fine!!!
and how can I clear the facebook cache ?
thanks alot
Check to make sure that there is not a setting on your server preventing Facebook from programmatically scraping the image data. I have recently run across this issue where the settings on a server were restrictively secure to the extent where Facebook was not able to grab the image data for sharing purposes and make a copy of the image into its CDN.

I have a web application developed in flutter. I need when the user access to ex. myhosting.com the app redirects him to an specific screen. However if he types myhosting.com/admin he most be redirected to another screen.
How could I do that?
Elaborate what you are trying to do, this helps you to get more accurate answers.
If the user didn't cleared browser cache, then the latest version or modern browser will remember the authenticated user accessed this specific url in the past. So, the browser will render the desired url page easily.
I hope this helps you to solve the issue. if yes reply with what you tried and what worked for you. if not share how did you solved the issue.
I have searched through many pages on SO and cannot seem to find the answer I am looking for.
I have a website (created via CMS SiteCore) that I want to display via an iFrame on a Facebook page. however, due to some SSL issue (I still do not fully understand the issue, but I know it is related to SSL), Facebook will not display it.
I thought a possible solution would be dwonlaoding all of the content (HTML, CSS, Images, etc) and just recreate it in an HTML editor app for Facebook. Wrongo. The app does not let me upload images, and when I link to the images on my server, it hits this SSL issue again and will not display images.
I just want this page to display when clicking on the app. Here is the page:

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Yep you require a SSL Certificate can get them as low as $17 in Geotrust if need be or a dearer one in hostgator or godaddy as well and they will install it for if have them as a host... once attached to domain should show the site or webpage in FB within Iframes... Also as the previous poster need to have domains the same one using the iframes in FB as that is where you want it right displayed...
Hope helps

So, for whatever reason, some people can't see the custom facebook page tab. Not sure why, especially when I can see it just fine.

Let me know if you need more info.
Do you have a https version of the page tab? If they're account always uses ssl and you don't you might run into issues. Other times I've seen resetting the app secret help with issues like this.
It shows a standard browser error page to me. "This webpage is not available Google Chrome's connection attempt to incontrolwebsites.com was rejected. The website may be down, or your network may not be properly configured."
May it be possible you didn't upload the webpage to the production server?
If it opens correctly from your machine: check that you don't have a custom DNS setting to point to your local webserver instead of the production server.
Q1. It seems facebook is killing all animated gif's is this true?
If someone has figured out how to display loading gifs on facebook apps, please tell me what the best way to do the following is:
I have a UK-based server serving an iframe in a facebook tab. It takes ages for the page to load because facebook is pulling the page from its servers in US.
My idea is to serve a free-ly hosted, fast loading page that loads the facebook loading gif and loads my iframe from the UK in the background. Once the iframe is loaded, the onload() event will fire and remove the loading gif... pretty standard.
Q2. Will this work?
Q3. If so what free hosted servers are peered with facebook's servers?
Cheers.
Update the Facebook app setting to point to a page on your local servers that loads quickly that will do two things. Display a GIF, and also redirect to the slower servers using JavaScript. That way the user will see the GIF until the browser can render the new page. No need to change Facebook or it's servers. :)
I have an app and I am using ShareKit for sharing in Facebook. I am able to share URLs, images and texts to FB using that. But why did the link/url share do not work the same way as when I share a url from Web Facebook. I have got many contents like image in my url and while doing the Share through web I am able to see the image and a small portion of content, but while I am doing it from iPhone using ShareKit, it just gives the heading/title and we need to click on that link(no images or contents).
If anyone know the solution, please help.
When you share a link on the Facebook site it will automatically fetch the URL and display some appropriate images that you can choose from. However, when directly interacting with the API this won't happen. You must provide the image yourself (or Facebook may use the image associated with your application). ShareKit may abstract this away from you, so you might want to look into using the Facebook SDK and Graph APIs directly.
I fixed the issue. Instead of posting(POST) the attachment dialog, just use GET method in the load function and pass the link you want to share. :)
