Facebook share: title is not displaying on share box - facebook

I am sharing my link to Facebook. When I click the share button, it goes to the Facebook share page. Everything is fine except the title is not displayed, although the title is there in the query string.
Below is my code. Please guide me in details that how to display title and description also.

It might be happening because of it can not be linted by Facebook properly that you try from localhost.
To see whats happening in Facebook-side, try Debugger: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
You can see open graph meta information gathered by Facebook and also errors that you have.

open graph protocols not working

I have been trying to implement open graph protocols on my pages and keep getting errors through the facebook debugger - at first I was getting
Could Not Follow Redirect Path - Circular redirect path detected
and research suggested this could be fixed by making
<meta property = "og:url" content="http://www.mandyevansartist.com/newsletterone/index.html" />
into
<meta property = "og:url" content="http://www.mandyevansartist.com/newsletterone/index.html/" />
(adding the backslash at the end)
but this has created even more errors and dependent on wether I put the backslash on the end of the address when i plug it into the debugger - will not scrape any information at all - at this point i am getting
'URL returned a bad HTTP response code'

<meta property = "og:url" content="http://www.mandyevansartist.com/newsletterone/index.html/" />
<meta property = "og:type" content="website"/>
could someone point out what i am missing
It seems that your server is returning with a 301 code. You can see that with the following:
curl http://www.mandyevansartist.com/newsletterone/index.html
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN"> <html><head> <title>301
Moved Permanently</title> </head>
<body> <h1>Moved Permanently</h1> <p>The document has moved here.</p> </body></html>
Note that you redirect from ...newsletterone... to ...newsetterone.... But, the og:url provided points to newsletterone again, which will cause the crawler to get in a loop.
This is the part that you need to fix.

Facebook share doesnt fetch the photo

Hello Ive been struguling with this for a while.. and just cant get my head around it.
I do have the meta tags required :
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.profsonstage.com" />
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="366418850196673">
<meta property="og:title" content="ProfsOnStage"/>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="ProfsOnStage" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Welocme to ProfsOnStage Web Site" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.profsonstage.com" />
<meta property="og:type" content="article" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.profsonstage.com" />
But when I try to use the share button facebook scraper doesnt fetch any data but the link.
When I check what the scraper sees I get :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<script>function set_cookie(){var now = new Date();var time = now.getTime();time += 19360000 * 1000;now.setTime(time);document.cookie='beget=begetok'+'; expires='+now.toGMTString()+'; path=/';}set_cookie();location.reload();;</script>
</head>
<body></body>
</html>
I hope anyone can point me into the right direction to fix this. Checked a lot of similar questions but I was unable to find an answer regarding this issue.
Also I get this in my console log
Given URL is not allowed by the Application configuration.: One or more of the given URLs is not allowed by the App's settings. It must match the Website URL or Canvas URL, or the domain must be a subdomain of one of the App's domains.
And My APP urls are :
www.profsonstage.com/
profsonstage.com/
I just don`t understand what is the problem here.
Seems like its a hosting issue. If anyone get a problem like that contact your hosting provider.

Multilingual Open Graph objects?

For a Facebook game, I want to have Open Graph picture objects with titles in multiple languages (specifically, English and German). I did everything as described in Facebooks open graph internationalization document, but somehow the objects (and actions) are always shown with English titles in the newsfeed and activities - and the app is definitely localized in its configuration.
Here's the URL of one of the objects: http://apps.facebook.com/spot-it/opengraph/picture/pictures.1A24.html
If I get it through Facebook's object debugger using the fb_locale parameter set to German, I see:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40/loose.dtd">
<html>
<head prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb# spot-it: http://ogp.me/ns/fb/spot-it#">
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">
<meta property="og:locale:alternate" content="de_DE">
<meta property="og:locale:alternate" content="en_US">
<meta property="og:locale" content="de_DE">
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="419035224820013">
<meta property="og:type" content="spot-it:picture">
<meta property="og:url" content="http://apps.facebook.com/spot-it/opengraph/picture/pictures.1A24.html">
<meta property="og:title" content="Beißerchen">
<meta property="og:description" content="Findest du die Fehler in 'Beißerchen'?">
<meta property="og:image" content="http://d2tv32y5kdvj8c.cloudfront.net/assets/pictures/1A24_potd.jpg">
</head>
<body>
<script type="text/javascript">
self.location.href = "";
</script>
</body>
</html>
So why doesn't Facebook use the German version when displaying actions involving that object to German users? Am I doing something wrong, or does internationalization for open graph simply not work?
in the app settings at developers.facebook.com > your app > "Localize" you can add support for additional languages.
you can set:
display name
tagline
description
detailed description
explanation for permissions
and all images like logo, icon, web banner, cover image…
i hope this is what you're looking for ;)

facebook share button og:url error

I'm looking to add some "share" buttons to a webpage I'm working on. I keep getting an "og:url" and "og:title" error even though they're both there. Any help would be great. Below is the beginning of the webpage script. Thanks, Marc
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org /TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

<title>fccf pad promotion</title>
<meta property="og:title" content="FCCF Pad home"/>
<meta property="og:type" content="website"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="http://padsrockref.1sourceusa.com/fccfpad/" />
<meta property="og:description"
content="A great way to start the new year! Request some pads and One-Source will make a donation on your behalf to the FCCF."/>
When I go to the URL you specify (http://padsrockref.1sourceusa.com/fccfpad/) for og:url, I get a 302 redirect to another page (http://padsrockref.1sourceusa.com/PageNotFound.html). So there are no og meta tags for Facebook to process, hence why it is erroring out. Update it to a valid URL and I think that will solve your problem.

Facebook like button gets URL correct but not the meta information

I'm implementing a like button but for some reason the info in the meta tags is not being transferred properly.
If I place the URL into the <fb:like></fb:like> tags then the correct URL is loaded into the wall post on FB. But the image and all the other items described in the meta tags doesn't post with it. If I leave the href out of the <fb:like></fb:like> tags then the link defaults to the page the like button is on. Unfortunately, I need to add some parameters to the link so when the user clicks through to the site from the FB post, it shows correctly.
I've run my link through the link linter and it still shows the same image and the basic site information in the wall post, not the image or the description in the meta tags that shows up in the linter.
Basically, it looks like some of my meta information is being ignored. What am I doing wrong? Is this a cache issue?
EDIT I just tested this in IE and I get an error where the like button should be that says the page can not be found...

};
(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>
My Like button:
<fb:like href="http://www.mysite.com/folder/folder/product.cfm?pid=562&ifcn=1&fbx=true&type=product&product=562&page=gateway " show_faces="false" width="450" font=""></fb:like>
Facebook like buttons don't like query strings, they need to be encode and even that doesn't work in some browsers.
Try running the link your trying to like through the Facebook Linter. It can give you some useful information and even errors.
