Meta_tag_fbtitle - Facebook Addon

**Serious** · 29 Dec 2011, 04:42 PM

Thanks for the FB debug link.
I entered a URL that I've tried to add to my FB page and this is what I get back:

Object Invalid Value: Object at URL 'http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.com/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=419_420_1172' of type 'product' is invalid because the given value 'META_TAG_FBIMG' for property 'og:image:url' could not be parsed as type 'url'.
Missing Required Property: The og:url property is required, but not present.
Missing Required Property: The og:type property is required, but not present.
Missing Required Property: The og:title property is required, but not present.

I'm going to re-read your prior response a dozen times or so, but to be honest I'm in way over my head here.

What your pages ( that are not product pages) og:tags look like is this:

Code:

 <meta property="og:title" content="Air Filters : Serious Offroad Products, To get there, you need to Get Serious"/>
    <meta property="og:site_name" content="Serious Offroad Products"/>
    <meta property="og:image" content="META_TAG_FBIMG"/>
     <meta property="og:url" content="http://www.seriousoffroadproducts.com/index.php?main_page=index&amp;cPath=411"/>
     <meta property="fb:admins" content="208325602516920"/>
    <meta property="og:type" content="product"/>

You can see that where there should be a link to an image it instead says META_TAG_FBIMG. This is what is causing the errors. It is a flaw to the module, I think.

So, I don't use the module. Because it works fine for product_info pages but everything else it messes up.

So, I instead use my version, which involves a single line added to the html_head.php file and a file uploaded to the modules folder.

Just had this same issue and 2 minor changes to the html_header.php file fixed it. On the 2 lines below, remove the "FB":

<meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo META_TAG_FBTITLE; ?>"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo META_TAG_FBIMG; ?>"/>

Just tried it on my html_header.php file (public_html/includes/templates/darkness/common) and still get the same thing.

Didn't work for me.

It is because you need to define what META_TAG_FBIMG is. Or define what META_TAG_IMG is. If it is undefined you will get an error.

The little bit of code I posted earlier sets it to the product image on the products pages and sets it to a default image ( which you need to upload to the images folder) for all other pages. Which is the way I like it to work.

If you just want to use a default image the whole time then you'd have

Code:

<meta property="og:image" content="path_to_image"/>

Where path_to_image might be something like http://www.mydomain.com/images/my_default_og_image.jpg.

Unfortunately I still get that META_TAG_FBTITLE showing up whenever I try to post a category page on my FB wall. I checked the source and strangely the title there looks ok. Do you know why or from where do I still get that mysterious META_TAG_FBTITLE?

thanks,

Hi,

You will have to uninstall your previous addon for FB and install the above referred addon fresh for it to work.

This is what I have in my html_header.php file and works fine.

<meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo META_TAG_TITLE; ?>" />
<meta property="og:type" content="product" />
<meta property="og:site_name" content="<?php echo STORE_NAME; ?>" />
<meta property="fb:admins" content="enteryourfacebookadminnumberhere" />
<?php
if (isset($_GET['products_id'])) { // use products_image if products_id exists
$facebook_image = $db->Execute("select p.products_image from " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p where products_id='" . (int)$_GET['products_id'] . "'");
$fb_image = HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . DIR_WS_IMAGES . $facebook_image->fields['products_image'];
}
if ($fb_image == '') { // if no products image, use the default image if enabled
$fb_image = 'insertdefaultimageurlhere.jpg';
}
if ($fb_image != '') {
?>
<meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo $fb_image; ?>" />

Time to revisit this....

Recently upgraded to zc1.50
Installed the Facebook like button add-on and got the dreaded FBIMG and FBtitle issue all over agin.

I deleted the "FB" as previously stated in the is thread from the includes/templates/CUSTOMTEMPLATE/common/html_header.php
Heres how it looks now:

My problem currently is no images showing when I post a link to a product or category.
Also, posting a link to a category still shows META_TAG_FBTITLE on my FB page.

A sample link to a category if you want to try it yourself.
