Looked everywhere for a solution to this (I apologize if I missed it) but I noticed that when I "Like" an article that the OG Description truncates everything after a double quote in the meta data (which is typical of coding).
Updated the component to make sure it wasn't already included in the fix but it still seems to be appearing.
Any thoughts on what I need to adjust to correct for this?

Mike,
Looks like you found a bug. We should be stripping the double-quote and replacing it with a single-quote. We see where that -should- be happening, but it's not.

We'll let you know what we find.

Thanks for the report,
Alex

Always happy to help. I'll try and watch to make sure a lot of quotations aren't used in the first portions of my articles until this is resolved. Let me know if you have any code you need tested. Thanks, again, for such amazing customer service!

Mike,

I found the mistake in our code.. We attempt to strip the quote when we pull the og:description out of an existing metadescription, but I forgot to add it for other situations like this.

The following is a fix that should resolve your issue. Please try it out and let us know if you're still having problems. In plugins/system/jfbcsystem.php, around line 1477, please replace this block
            if (strpos($headerGraphString, $graphName) === false || $graphName == 'og:image')
                return '<meta property="' . $graphName . '" content="' . $graphValue . '"/>' . $carriageReturn;

with this one
            if (strpos($headerGraphString, $graphName) === false || $graphName == 'og:image')
            {
                $graphValue = str_replace('"', "'", $graphValue);
                return '<meta property="' . $graphName . '" content="' . $graphValue . '"/>' . $carriageReturn;
            }

Sorry again!
-Melissa

Melissa,

That corrected the issue. Thank you both very much! (and yes, I have given your site and this extension lots of love on the JED in the past so you don't even have to ask me to do that one lol)
