Topic-icon Graph description tag showing on page

Active Subscriptions:

None
I am inserting a series of tags including the JFBCGraph description into an article using PHP. The tags all appear as meta tage as they should but on some pages the description tag is also showing on the page with the {} surrounding it.

Why would that be?

Bill,
I'm honestly not sure, and I'd have to see the page. I got your Private Message with a link to your page (for the logout button issue, which I'll be responding to shortly), but couldn't find a page that had what you're describing here.

Once we see it, I'm sure we'll be able to figure it out, but really haven't heard of this issue before.

We'll get you all fixed up soon though!

Here are a couple of pages. One shows the description tag and the other shows both the title and the description tag.

Bill,
Looks like you found a bug! I'm not sure how you're including those tags, but I think its the carriage return in the line that's throwing our detection off. Can you try to remove that and see if it works for you?

We'll fix our plugin to detect it properly, but even then, we'll simply be removing any line breaks that are in the text I don't think it should be sent like that to Facebook either way.

Hope this helps, and definitely let us know how it goes!

Getting rid of the line feeds did it. I was extracting the data from a database which was originally derived from user forms. I could remove the line feeds upon db insertion but for the most part they don't upset anything.
Obviously you don't want line feeds in your JFBC tags.

Yeah, we don't want line feeds in there, and we'll add some checks to remove them automatically in the future, since you aren't the only one who wants to automate te process. We're not considering this a 'critical' bug, but it will be fixed in an upcoming release, just so you know.

Glad that's settled, and hopefully we'll get your other post cleared out soon as well :)
