Share button (or replacement button)

Hi Alex,

I just tried the solution provided, which indeed opens up an ajax popup where I can post to my wall.
But, it won't let me choose where I'm posting to, only my personal wall, not a page.

I'd might be an idea if you look into the plugin I tried to combine with yours
(extensions.joomla.org/extensions/social-...facebook-share/16602)
They provide a possible share button, altough it seems that indeed they insert a lot of extra javascript.

(The reason why on my website the FB javascript was loaded 3 times is the use of a Facebook Albums module, the above module, and yours...)
It might be an idea to make the insertion of the javascript optional for advanced users?

Kindly regards
Ellen

We don't have a way to auto-post new articles to Facebook, and we don't recommend it. It's prone to errors, it's not very personalized for Facebook users, and it isn't great for promotion as you aren't controlling when the post goes out.

Instead of the old Share button, I'd recommend using the Open Graph tags which JFBConnect can help you implement. With them, you can set the image(s) that represent a page. Then, go to your FB Page and use the "Status Update" functionality. From there, you can type your message and include a link to the article. That will then let you choose the photo (from the Open Graph images you've set) and create a much more personalized introduction to your article than Share or an auto-post could do. Additionally, if anyone else links to your post, the title, description and image you set with the Open Graph tags will be used. Again, this helps make sure your message is right.

With the Share button, Facebook will try to guess the title, description and images that represent your page, which isn't always optimal.

Thanks,
Alex
