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

Using the FB debug tool for http://www.talkjesus.com
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/object/
I fetch new scape info without a problem, except one last thing that just won't kick in. The op:graph image shows default Xenforo pic instead of mine. However, the weird thing is if you click the link, it'll actually show my version (chat icon with 3 people group). It still pulls old XF pic too if I try to post on FB. I've confirmed with XF support it's not them, obviously anyway.
Any idea?
Your correct image is at the following URL...
http://www.talkjesus.com/styles/default/xenforo/logo.og.png
The image Facebook displaying on the Facebook Debug page is a cached copy of your old image. The URL for that image is...
https://fbexternal-a.akamaihd.net/safe_image.php?d=AQBAyXWZeLwaPVbO&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.talkjesus.com%2Fstyles%2Fdefault%2Fxenforo%2Flogo.og.png
The good news is this image caching should not have any effect on how your page is shared on Facebook.
If it does cause problems renaming your image and updating the OG tag will fix it.
I have Trac wiki page with multiple subpages like
(wiki:)Rootpage/More info/Details/Details on details
I need to create links on the last subpage on this path. If I put it
[[Rootpage/More info/Details/Details on details]]
Trac suggests me to create new page, even thought it regognizes the page with same/similar name. My typing is correct.
I get a red link when I add / in front of the link like
[[/Rootpage/More info/Details/Details on details]]
but when clicking it,it causes not found -error. Confusing. Can anyone help me fix this?
The answer turned out to be hard to see whitespaces on page names.
I have a problem that's been bugging me for a while now. I have a page with a Facebook Like button on it. When the visitor clicks on it, everything is working as it should. The user first logs in her Facebook account, and the right information is showing in the little iFrame that pops up. It has correct headline, url, image, and the possibility to add some text to the post.
But once posted on Facebook, the wall post doesn't show the description, instead it shows four rows with the text n/a. How come?
Some additional information:
I have set the followwing fields in the head section of the html, and
the Facebook debugger tool scrapes the correct information: og:title,
og:description, og:image, og:url, og:locale, og:type
Also, it always works for me and some others when liking it, but not
when person X or Y tries to share it, so it's kind of sporadic...
I use the Facebook js sdk.
In the Facebook debugger tool I get this warning: fb:admins and fb:app_id tags are missing. These tags are necessary for Facebook to render a News Feed story that generates a high click-through rate. But I have read somewhere that this shouldn't be necessary in my case.
The description sometimes contains characters like Å, Ä and Ö.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior?
Thanks in advance!
I'm using the Facebook comments box plugin..I have many pages with different get urls (example.com/id.php?id=1,example.com/id.php?id=2), and I'm attempting to give each its own seperate comments box. Everything is working fine except I get a warning telling me to add the href to the like button so I did. The only problem is, now a moderation link doesn't even appear..Here's code
" href="example.com/example.php?id="> ...I also included all meta tags I'm 100% sure..
I figured out the problem..Basically, if the page requires a login of some sort to view the contents, Facebook's bots don't have access to the meta tags.Therefore, you should add the meta tags to the page that a non-logged in user would see..This really caused me trouble and I hope this helps someone!
I have a like button on my site, i have defined all the og: meta tags and its works for most of most pages, but doesnt for 2 other pages. Its using a template so its exactly the same code, how can it work for some but not all pages?
For the pages it doesnt work, it doesnt pick up the title, image, link or description, basically any of the meta tags information.
Working like button....

Any ideas?
One usual problem is caching. If you were testing and at some point had the wrong data in the metatags facebook will cache that info.
One simple wat to test if it is a caching issue is to add a random param at the end of the URL.
so www.yourpage.com/index.php?cacheBust=1
Running the Facebook Debugger often clears those kind of things up. It appears to refresh the FB cache when you do.
