is it theme issue?

I am having the same problem. Please help. Thanks in advance.

I'm also having this problem... I don't know what facebook is looking to scrape off the posting... but whatever it is, drupal ain't providing it. I'm wondering if either of you has Clean URLs turned off?

I have Clean URLs turned on.

Could you try to change to garland or some other theme for a minute and try sharing again? I tried a few times and to me it seems that the problem might have more to do with themes than addthis module. Facebook and friends actually connect to your shared url and try to fetch a description and image from that url.

It was working on the Marinelli theme until a few weeks ago. The images nor the titles show up if you try adding it to facebook through another way like a bookmarked share on Fb link. So I'm not so sure this is related to this module. Can someone else also confirm?

I'm still having the issue. It's not working even if I add a link directly to my FB profile.

It's not an issue with this module. More like an issue with pulling content from Drupal.

I am starting a forum post - link below - hopefully someone who knows will find it there.

I am closing this ticket since there is no way we can fix this in the module. I have been sharing links for number of Drupal sites in FB with out any problems and if the problem is not theme related it sounds very strange indeed. Hope you'll find a solution for the problem.

Can you present us with an example? When did you last try the feature?

Can you pass on a link to one of your websites so we may attempt to share it?

It could well be a cache issue in Drupal performance settings. Is page compression enabled on your sites?

I dont use domain module - so its not that.

Waiting on Wesku who says he has "been sharing links for number of Drupal sites in FB with out any problems."

If he can provide a link to a Drupal site where it is being submitted to FB with no problems then I can buy that it;s the theme problem.

It's not a theme issue because it's not working on Garland either.

It doesnt even work on Drupal.org

Give it a try

Your link works for me. I have a number of pictures to choose from, title is correct and even the description. Same thing with number of other Drupal sites.

Have you tried on a different computer, if this could be an issue with your browser settings or something like that?

Are you sharing your home page or a node? It is only showing the default site name or URI instead of title when sharing a node, can you attach a screen shot to rule out browser issues please?

Or just try sharing a node and see if the attached image on a node and the correct title and teaser is being pulled.

Ok I can safely rule out browser issue. I can share content from CNN, Reuters and BBC not Drupal sites.

If this is an issue of concern to anyone, visit the thread I posted in one of my previous responses. Other people have confirmed this is a Drupal related problem.

Thanks.

Ok did a little digging up and Facebook on this page says:

Basic Tags

In order to make sure that the preview is always correctly populated, you should add the tags shown below to your html. An example news story could have the following:

<meta name="title" content="Smith hails 'unique' Wable legacy" />
<meta name="description" content="John Smith claims beautiful football is the main legacy of Akhil Wable's decade at the club. " />
<link rel="image_src" href="http://www.onjd.com/design05/images/PH2/WableAFC205.jpg" />

As shown, title contains the preview title, description contains the preview summary and image_src contains the preview image. Please make sure that none of the content fields contain any html markup because it will be stripped out. For consistency's sake, please use the tag to provide text data for the preview, and the
tag for any source urls.

The title and summary tags are the minimum requirements for any preview, so make sure to include these two.

Not sure what is hindering this on certain sites but not others??

You have a strange bug there. When I click your Drupal.org front page sharing link what I get is in the screenshot. This is not the best possible result, but pretty close. Only guess I can make is that you are accessing a different FB server farm and they have some very slight differences in code. Even that's unlikely, but this is just strange behaviour from FB.

Strange..I know..

On my site the title of the shared item is replaced by the website url.

I just installed the page title module hoping that it would correct the issue, will keep you guys informed if that works.

Any updates to this post? I'm having the same issue.

This is not a bug. As post #16 states, Facebook basically scrapes your URL for meta tags to get title, description and thumbnail URL. You need to modify your page to include these meta tags in order to get higher fidelity posts to Facebook.

the nodewords module doesn't have the option of specifying an image for the
tag =(

I was having the same problem with Facebook. I switched from my regular theme to Garland, posted a link on Facebook all worked fine: Title, Description, Photo. Switched back to my regular theme after.

But I also noticed that my server was acting a little hanky—going out intermittently for 10 minutes or so now and then on all of my sites. Restarted Apache on the server and now, with my regular theme, all share posts to Facebook are working fine again.

That restart of Apache seems to have been coincidental. Back to the same issue again. Guess my theme needs some work.

Hi,

I have multiple themes with Hariyali default. I am getting problem in Hariyali to share ,

http://www.facebook.com/share.php?src=bm&u=http://banglaworld.org/node/7...

But it's working fine with pushbutton theme.

http://www.facebook.com/share.php?src=bm&u=http://banglaworld.org/node/2...'%20site&v=3

Can anyone give any light about hariyali?

thanks in advance

Hi,

in case any one else needs the code, the code below allows you to successfully share with facebook, just insert it at the top of your relevant node template files.

Code provided by Divesh Kumar:

 drupal_set_html_head("<link rel='image_src' href='".imagecache_create_url('product_pic',str_replace(' ','%20',$node->field_image_product[0]['filepath']))."'  />");
drupal_set_html_head("<meta name='title' content ='$node->title' />");
drupal_set_html_head("<meta name='description' content ='".addslashes(substr(strip_tags($node->content['body']['#value']),0,200))."...' />");

Hope all is well!

Evelyn

Thanks Evelyn, it worked for me. Have you tried customizing the image path for other non-product node types?

Hi Fehin,

I'm not sure if this is what you're getting at but you can replace the imagecache preset and your node field to your own and it should be fine:

<?php
drupal_set_html_head("
field_yournode_image[0]['filepath']))."' />");

I hope that helps,

Evelyn

Just a quick note.

The module will not work on a localhost.
It must be online.
