Thanks. The URL is nemus.no/index.php/Nyheter/dn-karet-qare...rekeste-bedrift.html. But the meta tags in facebook is from this URL - nemus.no/index.php/Nyheter/tverrfaglig-samarbeid-ved-behov.html.

Thanks for looking into this.

Malin,
If you look at the source code HTML of that page, and search for "og:", you'll see a lot of tags. Some of those are from JFBConnect, others are from something that looks like it's called "fblikeplg". The fblikeplg seems to be adding a lot of duplicate tags, which is a problem (there should only be 1 title, description, url and site-name tag). Multiple image tags is ok though.

The duplicate (and conflicting) tags is likely where the issue is coming from as Facebook can be using any of them (or disregarding them). You should only use one extension to manage Open Graph tags. Whether that's JFBConnect or something else is your choice, as there are times when specialized Open Graph integration for certain extensions is better than our generic integration.

Finally, a bug on our part deals with the title Open Graph tag. Your title has a double quote mark in it ", which we use directly. That's causing the Open Graph title tag to get cut off. We'll be implementing a fix to this, hopefully in the 4.0 release.

Hope that all helps, but if you narrow down your Open Graph tags to a single set, and still have issues, just let us know!

thanks. I unpublished the Share button and now the meta tags works properly. However.. the customer wants a Share on Facebook button on each article. Is that a possiblity with your component?

Thanks

Malin,
We don't include a share button in JFBConnect because Facebook deprecated it. While it still does work on some sites, the 'old' share button actually can cause a few different types of conflicts with the 'newer' features that Facebook has available, and that JFBConnect implements. For more information about the discontinuation of Share, see:
www.sourcecoast.com/jfbconnect/docs/comm...tions#share-conflict

In it's place, Facebook recommends the Like button with Open Graph tags, which actually gives the administrator more flexibility to set the title, description, and image for the page, while still allowing the user to add a comment about the page they're about to Like/Share.

Hope that helps, but if you need anything else, just let us know.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks... I still need some advice how I can add a "Like-button" after each article instead of a Share button.
Also - when using Lint tool, I get critical error and the whole title is not included - nemus.no/index.php/Nyheter/dn-karet-qare...rekeste-bedrift.html
Can you please advise?

Thanks a lot for your help!

You can add the Like button very easily using the JFBCContent plugin. Just make sure it's enabled, and you can configure how the Like button is added to each article by going to the Social configuration area of JFBConnect and clicking into the Content Plugin - Like tab.

As for the title being cutoff, I mentioned that above as a bug we noticed:

Finally, a bug on our part deals with the title Open Graph tag. Your title has a double quote mark in it ", which we use directly. That's causing the Open Graph title tag to get cut off. We'll be implementing a fix to this, hopefully in the 4.0 release.


We've already implemented the fix for the upcoming 4.0 release later this week.

Thanks,
Alex
