Hello

I'm using JFBC Social share module
I have it set to display on certain menu items / sites.
One of those menu items links to a extension that has some extra features such as search engine, forms etc for my vehicle listing site.

My problem is two fold really. I hope you'll understand me :)

1. in one of the sub sections of the extensions linked to the menu item the module does not show. instead it display's a text:

{JLinkedShare href=http://bilasidan.is/leitarvel/unsubscribe/cont-vehiclealert/email-MY-EMAIL-ADDRESS layout=button_count showzero=0 key=}{SCTwitterShare href=http://bilasidan.is/leitarvel/unsubscribe/cont-vehiclealert/email-MY-EMAIL-ADDRESS layout=button_count key=}{SCGooglePlusOne href=http://bilasidan.is/leitarvel/unsubscribe/cont-vehiclealert/email-MY-EMAIL-ADDRESS layout=button_count width= key=}{JFBCLike href=http://bilasidan.is/leitarvel/unsubscribe/cont-vehiclealert/email-MY-EMAIL-ADDRESS layout=button_count show_faces=true share=true width=450px height=80px action=like colorScheme=light ref= key=}

** Email address hidden in the code**

I would really love to find a way if there is any to just disable the module from display'n on certain sections of the extension i'm using there. Such as this one,, since It is quite useless there.. or at least have to work completely.
Any ideas?

2. The share features allways share the page tab title as the name. the extension doesn't change the tab title so it allways stay's the same. is there a way to make the share feature for facebook at least fetch some other data then the tab title of the site?

Best regards

1. For the email address in the URL, does it have the @ symbol? The @ is a reserved symbol and should never be in the URL unencoded. Please see section 2.2 in en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percent-encoding for Reserved Characters.

If I go to bilasidan.is/leitarvel/unsubscribe/[email protected] then I get the same behavior where the Easy-tag is not parsed correctly. If I change it to bilasidan.is/leitarvel/unsubscribe/cont-...reae.sourcecoast.com for instance, it works fine.

2. The title of the share (at least for Facebook) is controlled by the Open Graph tag og:title. You can add an easy-tag to the each of the pages with {SCOpenGraph title=My Title} and I would suggest for the extension that you add a template override for the appropriate view and dynamically add the title. For instance if you're on the bilasidan.is/component/jsautoz/overview/.../dealer--?Itemid=215 page, then figure out how to get the car name to set the title to 'Hummer H1'. Once you have the new tag correct in the page source, you will have to re-scrape the page in the Facebook Open Graph Debugger to see it take effect in the Share. developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/

I think this should help get you started, but let me know if you have more questions.

One more thing though.. all of a sudden my share buttons went all funky from the share module.. it started out stoping to display linkedin share, then facebook share, then twitter changed from a button to text.. and now just display's the twitter text and the G+ share..

I was working on the site but I can not see anything I might have done to mess with the code or style of the module since my work was purely to insert a new menu item, create few articles, delete few articles and modules i had disabled a long time ago (just cleanup) etc...

You can see on my site for example on my new menu item (an all other menu items that use the extension or the module to display share buttons...

here is a link:

No clue :) If it happens again, take a picture so that way we can get an idea of what it looks like. With that, we may have some ideas of what's going wrong.

Of course, hopefully, that won't happen.

Thanks,
Alex
