I want run a contest. In this contest, I want say "please choose your favourite image." Every image should have their own Facebook share button. The button should share only the image, not the complete url.
I tried the like- and send buttons from Facebook, and it works okay, but if F click like and F put a comment it only publishes the link to the image and not the image itself. Also, it is only published to my Facebook wall if I put a comment. If I only click like, it doesn't.
I guess the easiest solution is to use the structure

I know there is a tons of questions about Facebook share... but trust me, I'm trying something different than the normal way of sharing.
Well, I have an Facebook image generate website, but I don't wanna to generate images every time an user enter. So its create an canvas, and then a "og:image" url with an ID..
Then when someone hit the share button, it open the Facebook UI, and:
-Facebook goes into the url with an ID.
-the php script check if the image is already created.
-if not, create the image and save it on amazon S3.
-an finally redirect to the S3 url.
The problem is, if I hit the share btn and post right after it has open... Facebook take an random image of the page.. its like he can't wait the processing and just give up o.o
Someone please know how to prevent it to happen?
I don't have 10 reputation points yet, so can't embed image, sorry. Please see the image that can help clarify, right away, what's wrong: http://i.stack.imgur.com/b6BbO.png
I am having issues integrating Facebook buttons on my site. I have created a FB app to use with the integration - my like button (see http://soundsviral.com/2014/02/13/tennis-court-by-lorde-45/) is working just like I want it to. However, the share button next to it returns a story like you see above. The real disconcerting piece is that the link for the "Sounds Viral" name (which is the name of the app here, not the site) links to the app itself, which I don't want users to visit at all.) How can I change this URL to be my homepage (or the link in the post below, if that's preferable?)
I also which I could change "link" here to be "song", which is a supported og:type and is in use for my "like" button. However, for the "share" button, it just says "link". But that's less important to me than the actual URL in the story.
Thanks for any ideas!
The solution is to set your facebook app to be a website app that directs facebook users to your website.
To do this:
go to you app page
go to Settings
click Add Platform button
Select Website option
Enter URL of your website and save
i'm making a web portfolio and i wanna add a button to share a photo on user wall, so when X user click "Share image" it should share the image selected.
I get it using Dialogs, but the image is publish in a very small size and if other wants to see it in full size they've to enter my website.
Don't you know how to make a script so when the user click "Share Image" it works at least similar as when you share a photo inside facebook (like when you share one of your images or something like that) ?
PS: Sorry for my english, i'm not english native and i know i don't speak it very well.
Thanks.
You cannot use Dialogs to upload photos to the user's profile. For this, you will have to use the PHP (or similar SDK) and POST data to the API. This blog post will help.
I've put "Like" button to my web site.
In general it works fine, the only problem is when user add some text and publish it in the profile his post contains image. And the image chosen is not something meaningful, it is one of the menu items that doesn't really makes any sense.
Could you please advise how to tip to the facebook the better image? I didn't see any information about that in their documentation (http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/), probably I've overlooked that?
Thank you.
P.S. Pretty similar question: is there any way to suggest for user text he wants to share (that will appear once user click "Like" button)?
You can specify image by adding Open Graph tags to head section each page containing the "Like" button.
You can specify an image URL in og:image tag, and Facebook will use this image in the user's profile entry.
The same goes with
og:title - this will be the title of the new entry on user's profile.
og:site_name (will be displayed as grey text under title) etc.
See http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ and
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraphprotocol/
for detailed description.
You can use the Open Graph tags for both versions of the "like" button - iframe and XFBML.
Once you add the tags to your pages you can use http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug to check if they are OK.
I have a picture with a hyperlink, however, when I download the picture to Facebook the hyperlink does not work. Can you not put a hyperlink on a picture? I would like it if people open the picture, they will be able to click on the picture and it take them to a website.
You'll just need to wrap the image with an pointing it to the site where your sharing it on. However, if your using FaceBook to host the image, then you'll be using the API of FaceBook and won't have control over what happens when a user clicks on the image. Maybe just share the link in the description??
