JCE Editor

We've not heard of this issue before and can't imagine why that's happening. Many sites, including this one, use JCE as the editor, so it's not a common issue.

Are you using the JFBCContent plugin to automatically add the social buttons, or are you using Easy Tags or the Social Widget module?
* The content plugin doesn't have anything to do with the editor and uses Joomla plugin triggers to prepend or append the social buttons, so I can't see how JCE would even be able to alter that.
* The Easy Tags could be being stripped or altered, but you should see that in the article contents in the editor.

Let us know about the above and we'll help however we can. The other thing you may want to look at is the HTML of the article page to see if the share tags (the raw HTML) is being inserted in the page or not.

I hope that helps get things started, but if not, send us a link to a page that works and one that doesn't so we can have a look.

Thanks,

That's definitely not something we've heard of and certainly bad behavior on JCE's part if that's what it's doing. Adding extra html, head and body tags will certainly cause plenty of problems with social networks, search engines and just about any other automated tools when working with your site.

I hope you get things narrowed down, but (as you mention) it doesn't look to be a JFBConnect issue.

Thanks,

That's truly bizarre. I can't see any reason to add extra html, head and body tags, ever. JFBConnect does have some specific checks in our code to not alter as much when the HTML is completely malformed (multiple of any of those tags on a single page is completely invalid), so that could explain why the buttons didn't show. That's a safety/sanity check though and not something we'd change.

Either way, glad you got things going.. and hopefully you don't run into any other strangeness going forward
