No sweat

I get the following error: 'Call to a member function get() on string'.
Where are you seeing that message? I seem to be seeing something different.

There is a difference in the kind of error, or at least the way it's reported, between installation with drag & drop or installation by browsing for the installation package. If I remember correctly, the latter produces the above mentioned error message.

My only suggestion was going to be to try a Install From Directory option where you copy the JFBConnect package to your site and install locally. Maybe that's what you've already done, but any details you can provide on the error message you're getting (how you're seeing it) and how JFBConnect was actually installed will help.

Apologies for not mentioning this, but JFBConnect appears to be installed, even when an error occurs. But because of the error, it's not certain JFBConnect will function properly.

Thank you for all your help Alzander. It's working now, but not quite how we want it. A post should look something like:

Ship Titanic
Material: steel
Dimensions: 1 x 2 x 3 m
Construction year: 1900

But what happens is the post is one string, without any line breaks:

Ship Titanic Material: steel Dimensions: 1 x 2 x 3 m Construction year: 1900

How can we use the line breaks we also use in the Joomla article? Is it also possible to use text formatting like bold and italic?

With regards,
Robert

Sorry, again, for the delay.

The og:description (Open Graph description tag) tag is meant to be a 1-2 sentence description of the page (see ogp.me/). While you can use it for specifications or other elements like you're looking for, there's no guarantee that all social networks will parse it correctly with carriage returns. You may only be concerned about Facebook, but most other social networks and tools will use Open Graph tags if they are present to help in some form.

With that said, can you let me know if you're setting the Open Graph tag on your own with one of our easy-tags, like {SCOpenGraph description=blah blah} If so, try using \n as your carriage return indicator instead of <br/>. I believe Facebook can use \n to split sentences, but it's completely at their discretion. We've seen cases where the og:description tag is too short or, for other reasons, Facebook simply ignores the tag and uses some text from the article itself. So, even by making the tag shorter and split up, Facebook may not like how that looks and ignore it.

I hope that helps,
Alex
