I'm having good luck using python and the FB graph api to collect reactions, comments from Facebook posts however, I'm having trouble targeting this specific photo link:
https://www.facebook.com/SheShopped/photos/a.432191143458704.110954.428340903843728/1367643623246780/?type=3&theater
Can anyone tell me how to deconstruct this link into a FB graph query?
If you want to look at the comments of this specific photo you just need to extract the id from the link (it's the last segment of the url) which is 1367643623246780. You'll find the comments at 1367643623246780/comments:
If you want to find this picture and others like it, you need to notice the type of picture (it is a 'Timeline Photo'). Looking at the relevant API-Documentation (Open Graph Page Photos) these can be found at 'SheShopped/photos/uploaded':
I am using JSN ESCAPE PRO template (LINK HERE) . I installed sample data but for some reson when I create new article it is not showing on home page. Does someone knows where is the problem ?
When you're editing the article, is Featured set to yes?
If it is, is your default menu item set to the type Articles ยป Featured Articles
That's the easiest way to have articles show up on the homepage, if you need more than one there.
In Joomla 2.5 the sample data home page depends on which sample data you chose. It could be the Joomla category blog view, so in that case you will want to either add your new article in that category or you will want to change the home page to another category view or maybe to featured like #Doyle-Lewis said.
I have recommend buttons setup for articles in a blog. My OpenGraph meta tags are setup and checking the url on the facebook debugger shows the expected information (shown below obfuscated)
fb:app_id xxx
og:url http://example.com/blog/title-of-artilce
og:type article
og:title Title of article
og:image *correct image*
og:description *description*
og:site_name Sitename
og:updated_time 1326303278
However, in the user's wall, the image is not shown & the URL is shown relative to facebook:
http://www.facebook.com/blog/title-of-blog
The problem is identical whether the recommend is on the actual page, or located on a different page with a URL directing to the page. The 'like' count functions as expected.
The updated time above shows that it shouldnt be a cache problem.
Any help appreciated.
* SOLVED * - URL submitted to button was relative rather than absolute.
Silly mistake on my part.. The links in OG were not fully qualified URIs ..
So, /foo/bar was being translated to http://facebook/foo/bar
My questions are about this (pasted from http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/)...
"What makes up the number shown on my Like button?
"The number shown is the sum of:
-The number of likes of this URL
-The number of shares of this URL (this includes copy/pasting a link back to Facebook)
-The number of likes and comments on stories on Facebook about this URL
-The number of inbox messages containing this URL as an attachment."
With that in mind, let's say I create a feature to let users submit ideas to improve my site, and I want to let users vote on the ideas by clicking Like buttons next to each idea.
(For simplicity, let's also say it's okay if they click more than one Like button.)
When a user clicks a Like button, a story about it shows up in his/her friends' newsfeeds, which brings up my 2 questions:
1.) If one of those friends comments on it with "That idea sucks," will that comment still add to the Likes count?
I know the content of the comment doesn't matter, but that user is clearly expressing his dislike of the idea, not liking it.
2.) Can the same user generate 2 or more Likes?
From the above, it seems like he/she could click the Like button, and then send a FB message with the URL as an attachment, which would generate another Like.
Thanks for the clarity!
P.S. This other thread was useful, but there were no conclusive answers:
Voting for items via facebook like?
How can we display a different string in a custom action caption using text templates or formatters if a Profile property is null?
Facebook displays a default caption for an action if a string property is not set or is empty.
For example, a caption for an action with a Profile object, Cooked with {SomeProfile}, displays the profile's description or something else if SomeProfile is not defined.
Another example
I have an Cook action type. Cook is connected to a Profile object type. Cook has another Profile action property SomeoneICookedWith. I set the caption for Cook to I cooked this with {SomeoneICookedWith}.
If SomeoneICookedWith is not empty and set to URL to John's profile, the caption on the timeline displays I cooked this with John.
If SomeoneICookedWith is empty, the caption on the timeline displays John is on Facebook. Join Facebook to connect with John and others you may know. Facebook gives people the power to share and makes the world more open and connected..
It displays the og:description of the object if the action is aggregated or if the News Feed attachment isn't configured.
If you are trying to link directly to a Facebook profile, you can't control the og:description. I would recommend making proxy pages with your own metatags that just redirect users but then you control the tags instead of us.
I've found that the og:description tag doesn't seem to be working with the og beta. The linter grabs my the description and my other custom object properties just fine, but when actually posting them, the only thing that shows up is the image, link, and the title. Description and everything else are left off, and the default 'Description' shows up. I'm beating my head against a wall since the Linter says it's working fine but it's not in actuality.
Paul's answer sounds ideal, but if you redirect the page, then Facebook follows the redirect and grabs the tags from the redirected page. Has anyone else run into this, and what's a good solution?
