I'm just trying to load the facebook sharer page into an iframe which is in a positioned div with no success.
Here is the code I'm using for the iframe,
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://www.website.com&t=Title Hoes Here"></iframe>
When I view the page its blank and the iframe source is
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://www.website.com&t=Title Hoes Here">
<html>
<body></body>
</html>
</iframe>
If I view the url directly, everything appears properly.
Does facebook block loading the sharer in an iFrame? and what are my alternatives to have the facebook sharer appear in a modal window?
Thanks
Yes, Facebook pretty much blocks all loading of screens inside of iFrames.
If you are using Facebook connect there is some simple javascript methods you can execute to get a dialog on your page, and to boot Facebook will take care a lot of the work it takes to make the screen look nice.
See this link ( http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.ui/ ) or use the code below:
FB.ui(
{
method: 'feed',
name: 'Facebook Dialogs',
link: 'http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/',
picture: 'http://fbrell.com/f8.jpg',
caption: 'Reference Documentation',
description: 'Dialogs provide a simple, consistent interface for applications to interface with users.'
},
function(response) {
if (response && response.post_id) {
alert('Post was published.');
} else {
alert('Post was not published.');
}
}
);
If you are not using Facebook connect then really your only option to get that exact screen is to throw a pop-up.
Another option would be to use the like/send button plugin, this isn't quite the same functionality but is easier to integrate. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

I am using the code below just as from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/ to post to a users wall. However the post does not appear on the wall. Is there something I'm missing?
FB.ui({
method: 'feed',
link: 'https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/',
picture: 'http://fbrell.com/f8.jpg',
name: 'Facebook Dialogs',
caption: 'Reference Documentation',
description: 'Using Dialogs to interact with people.'
}, function(response){});
I have the Javascript SDK connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js loaded. Do I have to add the following code?
FB.init({
appId: 'xxxXXxxx',
status: true,
cookie: true,
xfbml: true
});
There are many reasons why it might not work. The information you provided is really not sufficient, so I'm just gonna go ahead and list a couple of reasons why it might not work:
make sure you created an application on [Facebook developers] (https://developers.facebook.com/apps/), and have the Site URL correct along with the App Domains
the "xxxXXxxx" in the FB.init() is the application ID generated while creating an app on Facebook.
If you're trying on localhost, it will never work.
Finally, your code should look something like this:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script type="text/javascript">
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : 'xxxXXXxxx', // App ID
channelURL : '../../Vendor/channel.php', // Channel File
status : true, // check login status
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
oauth : true, // enable OAuth 2.0
xfbml : true // parse XFBML
});
function postFeed(){
FB.ui({method: 'feed',
picture: 'https://www.example.com/img/fb-post.jpg',
link: "http://www.example.com/",
caption: "example.com",
description: "a small description associated with your post",
}, requestCallback);
}
// Load the SDK Asynchronously
(function() {
var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true;
e.src = document.location.protocol
+ '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
}());
</script>
I am having a hybrid mobile application(should work in android and ios). In which I need to post on facebook wall from my application. Please note its a hybrib app, so I am not supposed to use any java or c code.
I tried the following method , its working in simulator , but not in actual device. Please help me.
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({
appId : ' my appID',
status : true, // check login status
cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
xfbml : true // parse XFBML
});
};
(function() {
var e = document.createElement('script');
e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
e.async = true;
document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
}());
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#share_button').live('click', function(e){
e.preventDefault();
FB.ui(
{
method: 'feed',
name: 'HyperArts Blog',
link: 'http://hyperarts.com/blog',
picture: 'http://www.hyperarts.com/_img/TabPress-LOGO-Home.png',
caption: 'I love HyperArts tutorials',
description: 'The HyperArts Blog provides tutorials for all things Facebook',
message: ''
});
});
});
</script>
Thanks
I ran into this. your:
document.location.protocol
which is suppose to pull in the FB SDK is actually "file:///" and thats what gets fed into the url for that FB JS library.
Manually specify http:// or https://
This didnt work for me either on safari webView on IOS so i had to hit the endpoints manually using AJAX.
i want to redirect users to a specific page after they share on facebook, i have found a good answer here at:
redirect user after facebook share and publish
here's the script
<script type="text/javascript">
FB.init({appId: "YOUR_APP_ID", status: true, cookie: true});
function share_me() {
FB.ui({
method: 'feed',
app_id: 'YOUR_APP_ID',
link: 'SHARE_URL',
picture: 'PIC_URL',
name: 'SHARE_NAME',
caption: 'SHARE_CAPTION',
description: 'SHARE_DESCRIPTION'
},
function(response){
if(response && response.post_id) {
self.location.href = 'SUCCESS_URL'
}
else {
self.location.href = 'CANCEL_URL'
}
});
}
</script>";
<div onclick="share_me()">Share</div>
but when i used the script ,there's no redirect at all, even if the user click "cancel"
please help me with this as am searching for a method like this since 1 week!
Try using another javascript function for redirecting like window.location = "YOUR_PAGE"
Does anyone know how to create facebook share button? I need it to be the horizontal version at about 15-20 pixels high. They seem to have dropped any documentation in favour of the like button but I would like both. I can only seem to find wordpress plugins but i simply need the code snippet.
Any help would be appreciated... thankyou

if you want to do it using javascript sdk :
window.fbAsyncInit = function () {
FB.init({ appId: appId, status: true, cookie: true,
xfbml: true
});
};
(function () {
var e = document.createElement('script');
e.async = true;
e.src = document.location.protocol + '//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
} ());
$("#Pst").click(function shareWithFacebook() {
FB.ui({ method: 'stream.publish',
message: 'message',
user_message_prompt: 'message',
attachment: {
name: 'message',
caption: 'message',
description: ('message'),
href: 'http://www.destination360.com/europe/sweden/images/s/sweden-visby.jpg',
media: [{ 'type': 'image', 'src': 'http://www.destination360.com/europe/sweden/images/s/sweden-visby.jpg', 'href': 'http://www.destination360.com/europe/sweden/images/s/sweden-visby.jpg'}]
},
action_links: [{ text: ' Name ', href: 'http://www.destination360.com/europe/sweden/images/s/sweden-visby.jpg'}]
},
function (response) {
if (response && response.post_id) {
// Do some custom action after the user successfully
// posts this to their wall
alert('Thanks for sharing!');
}
}
);
return false;
});
<div id="fb-root">
</div>
<a href="#" id="Pst" onclick="return shareWithFacebook();" >
Share
</a>
if you want to do it using plugin and would you please mark it as answered :) :
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
you will find the code like that :
<div id="fb-root"></div><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#appId=137344766349901&xfbml=1"></script><fb:like href="www.eslamsoliman.uk.cm" send="true" width="450" show_faces="true" font=""></fb:like>
change your link :)
The Share button is deprecated although still functional.
The current recommended way to implement sharing from a website is via the Like button or Send button (which is also usually paired with the Like button but works standalone).
If you must use the old share button for some reason, the documentation is no longer available on the Developer site, but there's a third party example here: http://www.wpcode.net/add-share-button.html/ (it should work on any site, not just Wordpress blogs)
The users of the website I'm building should be able to publish a title, a picture and a link on their facebook wall.
I found many questions on the subject, but no decent answer...
The easiest way I've found is to use the JavaScript SDK:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.ui/
Load it up:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({appId: 'your app id', status: true, cookie: true,
xfbml: true});
};
(function() {
var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true;
e.src = document.location.protocol +
'//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
}());
</script>
Use the FB.ui method in your JavaScript file (fill in your data accordingly):
FB.ui(
{
method: 'feed',
name: 'Facebook Dialogs',
link: 'http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/',
picture: 'http://fbrell.com/f8.jpg',
caption: 'Reference Documentation',
description: 'Dialogs provide a simple, consistent interface for applications to interface with users.',
message: 'Facebook Dialogs are easy!'
},
function(response) {
if (response && response.post_id) {
alert('Post was published.');
} else {
alert('Post was not published.');
}
}
);
