JFBLike module is not publishing special some characters like Æ Ø Å

devendre,
Can you let me know what URL this is happening on? Also, what version of JFBConnect are you using?

I know with our v5.0.1 release, we had a change titled "Bug Fix: Open Graph - og:description issues with UTF-8 characters". It's likely that is the fix you'd need. Please see the full changelog for more information.

We also just released v5.1 with a lot of new features, including Google+ integration and a lot of other improvements. Upgrading to the newest releases will likely help with many issues you have or may encounter.

I'm not sure what version you're currently using, but you'd need an active subscription to update JFBConnect.

I hope that helps,
Alex

Danny/Devendre,
Sorry for the delay. I just had a chance to find the profile on your site that you were talking about.

Looking at the HTML on the page, everything looks correct. If you look at the source HTML, search for og:description and you'll see that the string looks correct.

Additionally, if you run that page through the Facebook URL Debug Tool , you'll see that it's properly showing the description there. In all cases the på is coming through correctly with it's UTF-8 character.

I'm not sure what's going on, but it seems like an issue on Facebook's side. Please feel free to confirm what I said above and if you do see anything incorrect, let me know.

Finally, if you want to alter the code in some way, the tags are actually generated and inserted into the document in the /libraries/sourcecoast/OpenGraph.php file. Search for the toString function and, specifically, the line below is what's used to generate the og: tags in the head:
I hope that helps get you started investigating, but again, please confirm everything above or tell me if you see something out of the ordinary.

Thanks,
Alex

Devendre,
There is no code that's generating the text in those boxes. There's a little bit of Javascript that tells Facebook to generate the Like box. It's then created completely by Facebook by reading the Open Graph tags on your site. You can see the tags it sees using the Open Graph debug tool.

You can test the Like button directly on their site as well. You'll see that all you do is enter a URL and Facebook determines the rest of the information. There isn't any option to specify the title, description or image because that's all set through the Open Graph tags which are working properly.

I'm not sure what's going wrong on that page. Can you tell me if other pages on the site have the same issue and is it just that special character or others? As mentioned, it seems like some special characters are coming through, so this may be a Facebook specific issue with those letters for some reason.

I hope that helps explain further,
Alex

Devendre,
Glad to hear you got it going. If you found any issues with JFBConnect or think we should be aware of anything you fixed, please let us know so we can investigate or add it to the next release.

Thanks,
Alex
