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.

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/
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:

A friend of mine added a store to my fan page that uses the iframe...basically putting a website inside a facebook frame. It has a SSL certificate. We added social media like buttons to each product page by using addthis.com code. See below. The code below works on the product page, however the problem is when you share it to facebook or google+, the link that is provided for that product, when clicked, takes the user to the hosting url where the zencart resides.
<link rel="image_src" href="<?php echo "http://" . $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] . "zencart1/images/" . $products_image; ?>" />
<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<div 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_button_google_plusone" glusone:size="medium"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_pinterest_pinit"></a>
<a class="addthis_counter addthis_pill_style"></a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript">var addthis_config = {"data_track_addressbar":true}; </script>

Go to the category Scarves - this is where I have a test product.
When you click on the product test link once it's been shared on facebook, etc, this is the link it goes to: http://firetreegraphics.com/zencart1...9#.UBrFH01lTjY
How can I set it up so that it will go back to the fan page url?
How can I set it up so that it will go back to the fan page url?
By not liking/sharing the product page hosted on your server, but the Facebook URL of your /page/app combination.
If you want to link to a specific product page inside of your app on Facebook (and not just the start page), then you have to use the app_data parameter inside of that link, and get it’s from the signed_request parameter once your app is loaded into the iframe on Facebook.
Ok, so I've looked around a number of different websites but seem to get mixed information. Does anyone have any advice for implementing a Facebook Like button in an HTML email campaign?
I have already tried this article but for some reason, clicking the like opens a blank page with another like button. http://emailexpert.org/adding-a-facebook-like-button-to-your-email-template/
Any help would be appreciated.
Here is how you can add a Facebook Like button, Share Button, and Tweet Buttons. Please Note: Where it says my-campaign-url.com is the webpage of the email newsletter. Replace img src with your own image for the button. Also I am not sure you need everything in the Facebook button but you can clean it up with some testing =>
Facebook Like
<a title="Like this on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.
php?href=http://my-campaign-url.com&layout=standard&show_faces=
false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light&height=427%20">
<img src="/Images/network_icons/fblike-button-small.png" style="border:
0 none;" alt="Like This on Facebook"></a>
Facebook Share
<a title="Share this on Facebook" href='http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http://my-campaign-url.com'><img src='/Images/network_icons/fb-share.png' alt='Share my campaign' /></a>
Tweet Button
<a title="Share Via Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/intent/tweet?
url=http://my-campaign-url&text=My%20Text%20-%20&via=My Name&">
<img src="/Images/network_icons/tweet-button-small.png"
style="border:0 none;" alt="Share Via Twitter"></a>
Another (possibly easier) option.
Use the AddThis Service for E-Mail Marketing. See AddThis site for more info. Example Code Follows:
<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<!-- Facebook -->
<a href="http://api.addthis.com/oexchange/0.8/forward/facebook/offer?pco=tbx32nj-1.0&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmy-site.com%2Fnewsletter&pubid=ra-[Your AddThis ID for Analytics]" target="_blank" ><img src="http://cache.addthiscdn.com/icons/v1/thumbs/32x32/facebook.png" border="0" alt="Facebook" /></a>
<!-- Twitter -->
<a href="http://api.addthis.com/oexchange/0.8/forward/twitter/offer?pco=tbx32nj-1.0&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmy-site.com%2Fnewsletter&pubid=ra-[Your AddThis ID for Analytics]" target="_blank" ><img src="http://cache.addthiscdn.com/icons/v1/thumbs/32x32/twitter.png" border="0" alt="Twitter" /></a>
<!-- Rest of AddThis Services-->
<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?source=tbx32nj-1.0&=250&pubid=ra-[Your AddThis ID for Analytics]&url=http%3A%2F%2Fmy-site.com%2Fnewsletter " target="_blank" ><img src="http://cache.addthiscdn.com/icons/v1/thumbs/32x32/more.png" border="0" alt="More..." /></a>
I had this problem also. But the answers above, and elsewhere, didn't help me too much.
It seemed like often the solution being offered was creating a way to allow people to like the EMAIL CAMPAIGN itself. That's definitely not what I want... I want it to make it so that people can click to like MY ORGANIZATION'S FACEBOOK PAGE.
Fortunately, I am a mailChimp user, and for those of you that use MailChimp, this is the article that explains it very easily: http://kb.mailchimp.com/article/how-can-i-add-a-become-a-fan-on-facebook-button-to-my-campaigns
this allows you to simply put a special tag and to specify the URL of your FB page... awesome. And it works. Sure, you do have to confirm with a second click, but that is OK.
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,
