I'm implementing a like button but for some reason the info in the meta tags is not being transferred properly.
If I place the URL into the <fb:like></fb:like> tags then the correct URL is loaded into the wall post on FB. But the image and all the other items described in the meta tags doesn't post with it. If I leave the href out of the <fb:like></fb:like> tags then the link defaults to the page the like button is on. Unfortunately, I need to add some parameters to the link so when the user clicks through to the site from the FB post, it shows correctly.
I've run my link through the link linter and it still shows the same image and the basic site information in the wall post, not the image or the description in the meta tags that shows up in the linter.
Basically, it looks like some of my meta information is being ignored. What am I doing wrong? Is this a cache issue?
EDIT I just tested this in IE and I get an error where the like button should be that says the page can not be found...
The head of the document:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"
xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#"
xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
<head>
<meta property="og:title" content="Product Title" />
<meta property="og:type" content="product" />
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.mysite.com/folder/folder/gateway.cfm?ifcn=1&fbx=true&type=product&product=771&page=gateway" />
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.mysite.com/folder/folder/images/theImage.jpg" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="My Site" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="ADMIN_ID123" />
Just inside the body tag:
</head>
<body>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({status: true, cookie: true,
xfbml: true});
};
(function() {
var e = document.createElement('script'); e.async = true;
e.src = document.location.protocol +
'//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
document.getElementById('fb-root').appendChild(e);
}());
</script>
My Like button:
<fb:like href="http://www.mysite.com/folder/folder/product.cfm?pid=562&ifcn=1&fbx=true&type=product&product=562&page=gateway " show_faces="false" width="450" font=""></fb:like>
