It's awful that this thing is called "Like"-Box and there is no way to like, comment or share on an actual wallpost shown in the activity feed!
Is there a way to customize the Like-Box core so that these three little items are shown?
Would be great!
The only customization options are those found on the documentation page. You could build your own though using the Facebook graph API to pull a pages feed down and add like and share buttons.

In experimenting with both the FB.ui share dialog and using the fb:share-button / class="fb-share-button" I've noticed that using the FB.ui method does not offer sharing options (Share on your timeline, friends' timeline, etc) in the dialog and the og:description is not displayed on the FB post (yet it is in the post preview) and markup formatting for the display is different. It's obvious that both methods are using two different services:
FB.ui: .../v2.0/dialog/share... and Share Button: .../sharer/sharer.php?...
One would think that by leveraging the JavaScript SDK a developer would have more options to customize the sharing experience, but in my experience thus far, that doesn't seem to be case.
Yes, I've run my links through the linter, my open graph tags are set properly and I've added the "scrape=true" to my query string.
At the very least, I'd hope that the og:description would get displayed on a FB post by leveraging the SDK and that the formatting would be the same. Any validation of this behavior and workarounds?
Same problem here; plus the share count on the url is not updated if shared with the share dialog; it is if it's done using the share button.
pretty weird, a bug maybe?
I am attempting to write a Redmine plugin which further filters textilizable fields (issue description, updates, wiki content, etc.).
I've leafed around the plugin documentation but did not really find a good place to start. The view hooks seem to allow you to inject content at pre-defined injection points. Nothing really stood out toward creating a filter for textilizable content.
The most straightforward way is to hack the code in application_helper.rb and create your own filter function along the same lines of the :parse_inline_attachments, :parse_wiki_links, :parse_redmine_links. However, I do not see a good way of inserting that in a plugin without monkey patching the entirety of textilizable(*args).
Am I missing something obvious here?
One possible way, here: http://www.redmine.org/boards/3/topics/33949
This board topic mentions the caveats associated with view hooks (mentioned above) and offers a workaround or two that lets you change content by overriding views.
Does anyone know of any way to customise the Workflow Comments box that appears in Sitecore if you enable the "comments" option?
I'm looking to extend this a little ... but can't see this referenced in any sitecore javascript or shell files - I'm guessing I will need to build a custom dialog in its entirety to implement the functionality I want, but not 100% where to start!
We ended up putting a solution in place that, broadly, composes of a custom action, containing the relevant form that we need. The information that the user submitted was then parsed, and passed to the workflow as comments (this particular workflow command was hidden from users, so they had to go through our custom one).
Not ideal, but works!
I'm setting up a sharer on my site pages, and i've found different links for using the sharer :
share.php
sharer.php
sharer/sharer.php
Which one is the right one to use ?
In the Facebook doc it says the second one, but only with the third was i able to share to a fan page (no linked profile).
Is there a difference between sharing on a profile or on a page ?
Thanks.
There is not much difference among them, it is just their looks and size that is changed using the property type.
I would strongly recommend against:
"The Share button has been deprecated in favor of the Like button, and will no longer be supported.
Please use the Like button whenever possible to drive maximum traffic to your apps."
So, instead of waking up with an nonfunctional share button, you'd be better off with a like button, or implementing a share button from scratch using the JS SDK.
Also, I can tell you for a fact that most of the people would share on their own wall rather than on a page.
The correct one to use is sharer/sharer.php

Share on Facebook

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.
