Hi
I have a joomla 1.7 site with the SobiPro component installed.
I have been trying to get the Facebook XFBML send button to send the current page URL in emails as well as messages to facebook, as described in facebooks own dev page "URL to like, In XFBML defaults to the current page" .
So far I have not been able to get this to work, I have tried all the itprism.com stuff in one form or another, I have also tried the code from facebook but no good.
So can your software make this work for me ? and can I place your buttons directly into the sobipro details.xsl as I have done here with ITPsharepoint , see here www.homesolar.net.au/143-Solar-Megamart , only the urls of some pages are sent, and the send button is not rendering properly.
thanks

We haven't done much testing with Sobi lately, but know of a few users who are successfully using JFBConnect with it.

In general, you can use our {JFBCLike} tag on any page to easily insert a like button. We'll use the current URL of the page for links. Additionally, you can easily set the Open Graph tags, which describe your page to Facebook, in the Sobi listing, which will help for context, and may also help fix some URL issues. Examples include:
{JFBCGraph title=Title for Listing} - If this isn't set, JFBConnect will set it automatically to the meta title of the page
{JFBCGraph description=Description for listing} - If this isn't set, JFBConnect will set it automatically to the meta description of the page
{JFBCGraph image=http://site.com/link-to-image-for-listing.jpg}
{JFBCGraph url=http://site.com/listing} - This may solve some of your issues by setting the canonical URL for the page, in case there are many (SEF vs non-SEF) URLs that can reach the page.

Of course, if you can't get it going, we have great support as well as a 30-day money back guarantee.

Hope that helps, and good luck,
Alex

On a side note, I looked at your page really quick. My guess for why the button isn't showing is due to the FB Share button that you're also using. Facebook deprecated the share button a bit ago, and it can cause conflicts with it's 'newer' social widgets.

Might fix you up by just removing that. JFBConnect can still help you do some great things, but don't want you to subscribe just to have me tell you to disable that :)

Simplesite,
I'm sure we can help you. It's best if you create a new thread with what you're looking for, as this ones a few months old, and may not be exactly what you're looking for. I haven't used SobiPro before, but we'll gladly help how we can, once we know exactly what you're looking to integrate, and where.

When you create the new post, please also do it in the Joomla 1.5 or J1.6/1.7 forum so we know what Joomla version you're using as well.

Thanks!
Alex
