jquery appended html
<div class='fb-share-button' data-href='https://gloopal.com/index.php' data-layout='button'></div>
When I tried the above on [https://sample.com] it worked fine after few round of refresh on the browser.
Next I tried to share more specific posts instead of the whole website in general. So refered to a page with ID on each share button.However it simply ignored it and just showing the general website. I don't understand why I didn't get the specific page with ID and show contents of that page.
<div class='fb-share-button' data-href='https://gloopal.com/search2.php?TID="+ tid +"' data-layout='button'></div>
Now, I tried sharing back the website in general as I've created a subdomain for revamp work. In this domain the basic sharing of the button not showing the images and descriptions attached to it, let alone sharing by ID.
When I debugged in facebook debug, it shows this error:
Error parsing input URL, no data was cached, or no data was scraped.
Then I read few questions on this learnt few tips:In order to facebook to scrape the content, must set with and height for the image. ALso, facebook doesn't show the image in the first load so must keep refreshing. Facebook also doesn't remove the previously cached content though I change them in my file. SO I need to refrech the facebook debug after placing my URL once or twice.Not just this, I l also learnt that even HTTPS can cause problem, so I even tried replacing it with http and also added secured_url on the image meta tag.
Despite all my attempts, I still can't share image and content in the facebook.If anybody knows where I lack, please also do me a favour by letting me know on how to share posts by ID which means different image,content per ID.
Thanks for your help in advance.
You might just need to re-parse the DOM. Put your button in a container with a 'fb' id, like so:
<div id="fb"><div class='fb-share-button' data-href='https://gloopal.com/search2.php?TID="+ tid +"' data-layout='button'></div></div>
Then try this just after jQuery's append
FB.XFBML.parse(document.getElementById('fb'));

You would appear to be missing the Open Graph tags in your page head. Facebook uses these to scrape the page preview. If you look at the Full Code Example at the link in your post, you can see some sample tags.
If you specify the image and text in the OG tags, your sharer should work correctly.
This post is just to learn something, Recently I came across a domain called as www.content-queen.me/PtWkz in a page from facebook.com, on clicking the post with this link it redirected me another domain http://www.wittyfeed.com/story/18644/when-9-cops-sat-down-at-red-robin-the-waitress-realized-something-is-terribly-wrong?utm_source=undefined&utm_medium=SOCIAL&utm_campaign=33-campaign&utm_hash=PtWkz&i=2...Initially I dint see it, but the next time I did with another url, the same thing happened..so my question is how to do it, I know how create a redirect, as it can be done in .htaccess, but this kind of redirect is very new and interesting, And I even tried to dissect the code and found this source code

I hope there will be guys who would have done this here and would like to learn how to do it.
That code is pretty much it, really. The redirects are coming from a site set up just for that. It most likely has a database driving it, mapping those random strings of letters to sites. Then it had a template for the page you posted here where it fills in values from the database.
You can see in the code where it updates a page view counter. Then, right after that it sets window.location to where they want you to go, which makes the browser load the page.
This is called a url shortener, you need a back-end script to do the redirect.
The application works as follows, when a request for www.content-queen.me/PtWkz, it will analyze the url. and take the random string PtWkz as a key, this key is connected to the orginal url and the relation stored somewhere in database or cache memory.
What the script do is to match the short string to the orginal url and send to our browser http redirect 302.
There are some feathers to the shortener like you can change the destination the original url with keep sharing the short url.
The back-end script can be written in all programing languages and scripts, you may use python or php for it.
There are many online url shortener services like goo.gl and bitly.com.
I have created a facebook app with subscription.
When the user opens the app, there is a button called "SUBSCRIBE". When it is clicked, the javascript function completePayment(), is called. The facebook popup with subscribe appears. However, there is a big problem. If I change the og:image URL and set the price to let's say 10.00 USD and the billing period to 1 month and I upload the file to the server and then I click on the SUBSCRIBE button, I can still see the subscription page saying 5.00 USD/week and the image is blank.
It's like everything remained the same way that it was when I first set the data, even though I updated all the data from https://www.mydomain.com/_product.php , with the new values. I even logged out and relogged in, and still no changes are reflected.
I even emptied the _product.php page and uploaded it to the server and the subscription still works and shows 5.00 USD/week and the image is blank.
Any ideas on how to fix this?
I have this code on the main page:
<a href="#" onclick="completePayment()">
<img src="https://www.**********.com/subscribe.png" alt="Subscribe" title="Subscribe" style="vertical-align: top"/>
<script src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
FB.init({
appId:'2***********6',
cookie:true,
status:true,
xfbml:true
});
function completePayment(){
var obj = {
method: 'pay',
action: 'create_subscription',
product: 'https://www.mydomain.com/_product.php'
};
FB.ui(obj);
}
</script>
</a>
This is the HTML code from the 'https://www.mydomain.com/_product.php' page:
<html>
<head prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns# fb: http://ogp.me/ns/fb# fbpayment: http://ogp.me/ns/fb/fbpayment#">

The facebook page have a looong if not semi permanent cache about share content:
3 options are possible:
1) try to clear the page cache on: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
but you will fall in the same problem next time you share the page
2) add a dynamic parameter to your url (https://www.mydomain.com/_product.php?q=123), than you will have a unique value associated with this url, but you need to set the og for this specific url with a php_get on the parameter. If you have few value you can make it manually, on the other hands if you have more value or dynamic value you need a DB table to store the data with the link url and the associated og and get the value in the php_get
3) Clear the cache programatically by re-scraping it. See: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/payments/product?locale=en_GB#scraping-object
I've done somthing similar on my site but only with random generated value: http://www.paris-web.it/test.html
I'm trying to implement the facebook share button in my app, however I can't seem to get it to work on and idk why this is what I have so far.

What jackypan1989 said is true, you will have to use the absolute url.
But one other thing that I'm pretty sure happens is that Facebook won't run your JavaScript code, thus the part
<meta property="og:url" content="/post/{{data.permalink}}">
will never get replaced with
<meta property="og:url" content="/post/the-page-that-was-shared">
This problem that you are having could also prevent Google from crawling your page.
We had the same problem, and we used https://prerender.io to get around it.
You can use it on your own server, or use one of their free/paid services.
You already have a body defined around your ng-view. Then your view has its own body. So you are trying to inject a body inside of a body which isn't going to do what you want.
Notice that your controller does not control the HTML element that contains the Meta tags. It only controls code that it contains (a div within the body in your case).
You can add a controller to the HTML tag or you can use $rootScope.
Lots of answers to this here: How to dynamically change header based on AngularJS partial view?
In your controller that handles the ng-view:
app.controller('MainControl', function ($rootScope, $scope, Config) {
...
$rootScope.canonical = Config.domain;
});
I needed to dynamically set a canonical link, but the principal for metas is the same. In your header:
<link rel="canonical" ng-href="{{ canonical }}" />
You'll probably want to use ng-bind for a meta tag.
I would add to the previous answers that prerender will solve crawling problems but facebook share is a bit different I think ( feel free to prove me wrong :) ). To avoid annoying {{}} you can define your own meta directive <meta meta-description> and use a template:
app.directive('metaDescription', [ 'metaData', function(metaData){
return {
restrict: 'A',
replace: true,
template: '<meta name="description" content="{{metaData.pageDesc}}">',
link: function(scope,element){
scope.metaData = metaData;
}
};
}]);
We are still figuring out SEO/sharing issues with angularJS here but that's what we currently use.
In your codes, you should set up your absolute url on attr 'data-href' of fb-share-button.
For example:
<div class='fb-share-button' data-href='https://yourabsoluteurl.com' data-type='button'>
</div>
I made it work using express. There may be some gaps in this, so if anyone tries it, feel free to fill in the gaps in the comments and I'll update...
I have both express and react running in two different consoles locally. For some reason, I only needed to run node on the express file in prod. Do whatever you need to to get it running. This will forward the request to the react server.
app.get('*', function(req, res) {
res.sendFile(path.join(__dirname, 'build', 'index.html'));
});
Then I have a route for the pages that I share that looks something like this.
app.get('/details/:itemId', function(req, res) {
const fileName = path.join(__dirname, 'build', `${req.params.itemId}.html`);
var fileContents = fs.readFileSync(path.join(__dirname, 'build', 'index.html'), 'utf8');
fileContents = fileContents.replace("og tags", "new values");
fs.writeFileSync(fileName, fileContents);
res.sendFile(fileName);
});
You probably will want to search for the file and serve that up first if it exists so you aren't having problems with multiple clients writing to the same file at the same time in a high volume environment. Or better yet, do it in memory. Remember, order counts in express, so you really need to reverse the order of these two functions in your express file.
I'm trying to add an AddThis toolbox dynamically. Twitter & email receive some variables from the sharing configuration file, but the Facebook Share gets no info from there.
What am I missing?
HTML:
<span class="toolbox1 addthis_toolbox">
<a class="addthis_button_facebook"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_twitter"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_linkedin"></a>
<a class="addthis_button_email"></a>
</span>
JS:
toolbox_obj = $('.toolbox1').get(0);
addthis.toolbox(toolbox_obj,sharing_config,{title: 'aaa'});
You may try this
HTML
<span class="toolbox1 addthis_toolbox"></span>
JS
var tbx = $(".toolbox1").get(0),
svcs = {facebook: 'Facebook', twitter: 'Twitter', linkedin:'Linkedin', email: 'Email'};
$.each(svcs, function(k, v){
$('<a></a>', { class:'addthis_button_'+k }).appendTo(tbx);
});
Working Example Here..
As written on AddThis documentation:
Some services, most notably Facebook and LinkedIn, do not use
parameters we send to them. Rather, they use meta tags to determine
the URL, title, and description to share.
some services (Facebook and Linkedin, for example) just ignore those configurations info because grab data from the Open Graph metatags.
So you should add Open Graph metatags to your HTML (try reading this useful resource) and, if you encounter some problem with AJAX loaded content, maybe you can solve by forcing the url via the specific addthis method (obviously after the new content has been loaded):
addthis.update('share', 'url', window.location.href); // re-parse the url
addthis.ready(); // re-render the buttons.
Now the Share via Facebook will correctly gain its data from the open Graph metatags in page.
This has been a good resource to solve a similar problem I faced:
AddThis buttons wont update to include fragment (#Hash Tag)
Hope this can help, bye!
