Thanks Alex, I tried several times to update the post using Facebook's sharing Debugger and had no luck, so what you say about Facebook;s attempt to foil bait and switch attempts by not allowing a post to be changed after 50 likes is what is being applied in this case,
One thing you didn't address is how I stop JFBConnect from generating the Twitter image meta profile tag from the OpenGraph image tag?
Just to let you know what I did, in case anyone in the future wants to add Social Media buttons to their JEvents pages. I did suggest that jEvents contact Alex to talk about making a JFBConnect plugin for jEvents.
First in jEvents Custom Layouts -> Event Edit page, I include the following code after the "Contacts" section; I am using Regular Labs Tabs for this and their plugin runs after everything else and JEvents leaves it alone even though they both use the double braces {{…}} delimeters.
{{Tab Start:TABSTART#COM_JEVENTS_TAB_SOCIAL_MEDIA}}
<div class="row jev_social_media">
<div class="span2">
<strong>{{Event URL Label:customfield_jevcfEventURL_lbl}}</strong>
</div>
<div class="span10">
{{Event URL:customfield_jevcfEventURL}}
</div>
</div>
<div class="row jev_social_media">
<div class="span2">
<strong>{{OpenGraph Description Label:customfield_jevcfOpenGraphDescription_lbl}}</strong>
</div>
<div class="span10">
{{OpenGraph Description:customfield_jevcfOpenGraphDescription}}
</div>
</div>
<div class="row jev_social_media">
<div class="span2">
<strong>{{Twitter Description Label:customfield_jevcfTwitterDescription_lbl}}</strong>
</div>
<div class="span10">
{{Twitter Description:customfield_jevcfTwitterDescription}}
</div>
</div>
<div class="row jev_social_media_image">
<div class="span2">
<strong>{{Open Graph Image Label:customfield_socialOpenGraphImage_lbl}}</strong>
</div>
<div class="span10">
{{Open Graph Image:customfield_socialOpenGraphImage}}
</div>
</div>
<div class="row jev_social_media_image">
<div class="span2">
<strong>{{Twitter Image Label:customfield_socialTwitterImage_lbl}}</strong>
</div>
<div class="span10">
{{Twitter Image:customfield_socialTwitterImage}}
</div>
</div>
<div class="row jev_social_media">
<div class="span2">
<strong>{{Twitter Image Alt Text Label:customfield_jevcfTwitterImageAltText_lbl}}</strong>
</div>
<div class="span10">
{{Twitter Image Alt Text:customfield_jevcfTwitterImageAltText}}
</div>
</div>
<div class="row jev_social_media">
<div class="span2">
<strong>{{Facebook unique reference name Label:customfield_jevcfFacebookReference_lbl}}</strong>
</div>
<div class="span10">
{{Facebook unique reference name:customfield_jevcfFacebookReference}}
</div>
</div>
In jEvents Custom Layouts -> Event Details Page, working in the Code Editor I add the following to the bottom of the page:
<div id="jfbcSocialMediaButtons">
<div class="JFBC-Config">{JFBCLike href={{Event URL Raw Value:jevcfEventURL_raw}} layout=button_count show_faces=false share=true width=120 action=like colorscheme=dark ref={{Facebook unique reference name Raw Value:jevcfFacebookReference_raw}} kid_directed_site=false}</div>
<div class="JFBC-Config">{SCTwitterShare href={{Event URL Raw Value:jevcfEventURL_raw}} text={{Twitter Description Raw Value:jevcfTwitterDescription_raw}}… data_count=horizontal via=911tap related=ae911truth,911Blogger,DC911truth hashtags=911truth,wtc7 size=medium dnt=false}</div>
<div class="JFBC-Config">{SCGooglePlusOne {{Event URL Raw Value:jevcfEventURL_raw}} annotation=bubble size=standard align=left recommendations=true}</div>
{SCOpenGraph image=https://www.911tap.org/images/jevents/{{Open Graph Image Raw Value:socialOpenGraphImage_raw}}}
{SCOpenGraph twitter:image=https://www.911tap.org/images/jevents/{{Twitter Image Raw Value:socialTwitterImage_raw}}}
{SCOpenGraph twitter:image:alt={{Twitter Image Alt Text Raw Value:jevcfTwitterImageAltText_raw}}}
{SCOpenGraph url={{Event URL Raw Value:jevcfEventURL_raw}}}
{SCOpenGraph title={{Title:TITLE}}}
{SCOpenGraph description={{OpenGraph Description Raw Value:jevcfOpenGraphDescription_raw}}}
{SCOpenGraph twitter:description={{Twitter Description Raw Value:jevcfTwitterDescription_raw}}}
{SCOpenGraph type=event}</div>Working with jEvents I changed a line in their code, defaultloadedfromtemplate.php line 332 from:
$strippedmatch = preg_replace('/(#|:|;)+[^}]*/', '', $matchesarray[0][$i]);to:
$strippedmatch = preg_replace('/(#|:|;)+[^}}]*/', '', $matchesarray[0][$i]);so only two of the braces at the end of the string that has three barces }}} gets sucked up. I assume this will be changed in the next release of jEvents. It's not much of a deal, but in this instance it allows the jEvents tags to get replaced with the values without disturbing the JFBCConnect tags.
The result is I get a form as follows:
Which results in a twitter card that looks like:
I can't show you the Facebook post that gets generated, because as Alex has pointed out, after a post receives 50 likes, it can no longer be updated using the Facebook sharing Debugger.
SCOpenGraph tags not parsed in JEvents
