Facebook Like Button

[DarkAngel]

Sorry, did I miss the fix for the META_TAG_FBTITLE issue? It doesn't seem to be defined and therefore appears as the title in the post.

Thanks for your suggestions.

doing a search for that in particular would get you a few hits...this being one of them

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...TA_TAG_FBTITLE

I get that ONLY if I post to our sites FB page by posting the link and do not get it when using the clickable link in our store that goes to my own account at FB

you might try it and see if it helps you or not

META_TAG_FBTITLE issue is already fixed. Please take a look at this contribution: http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...oducts_id=2026

gopinathgoswami:

There is no problem with this particular mod and I do not appreciate your insistence that you have "fixed" my problem with another mod.

Please desist from posting in this thread.

To everyone else:

The META_TAG_FBTITLE shows up if you have installed any other like buttons on the website.

This like button was written for product pages only and therefore only pulls the product title for that.

If you have installed another like button for liking any page besides the products pages, that will show because there is no product title.

delia...I love this mod of yours and no fixes were needed at all

Now I did have troubles with posting but at first it was due to the wrong info I inserted into the coding then the images tend to get snippy and not want to post either...but that is not due to your mod.

FB is finicky at times and sometimes even clicking the link will get the meta title wording and not the actual title especially when I tried to post the link to our group and not just at my own FB page like it goes to shooooo

I added this line only to my own store: <meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo META_TAG_TITLE; ?>"/>

same place that your coding goes and now when I post to my group I see title/image in the post and yours is the ONLY FB mod I have installed too.

thank you for your mod.

Hi,
I'm Luca from Italy and I'm totally new to Zencart.
I'm creating my first zencart e-commerce site.
Now I'm trying to make work properly the Facebook Like.

Please, can you help me getting the product image and put it in the FB Like?
I've seen that on your "regimental-book.com.au" site all works very well. When I like a product, the FB Like catches the correct product image and use it to create the FB post.
When I "Like" any of my catalog product no image is loaded. An error message raises telling me that it wasn't able to find a proper image format.
The real issue is that "FB Like" doesn't recognize the product image and try to use the logo.png.

I'm going mad with that thing.
Please, save me! :)
Thanks in advance for anything you could do.

Have a nice life!
Luca Mazzotti

Hi DarkAngel,
my store is at this link: http://www.millecover.com/glitter-st...-celeste-p-155

You told about a readme file with code inside, please, where can I find it?

Here is the link to my store: http://www.millecover.com/glitter-st...-celeste-p-155

I've made some test and I understand why FB try to load "logo.png".
It's my fault: I've put in the page header "meta property="og:image" setted on "logo.png".

What is the "readme" file you writing about?

What is the "readme" file you writing about?

In the zip you downloaded were the files to install this mod and there is a document called readme.txt in it is:

Instructions:



Contains 3 files, all of which go into template override folders.



includes/templates/your_custom_template/common/html_header.php

includes/templates/your_custom_template/templates/tpl_product_info.php

includes/modules/your_custom_template/metatags.php



Edit 2 files:



1) > includes/templates/your_custom_template/common/html_header.php



Find this code (line 25):

<meta property="fb:admins" content="184218714477"/>



and enter your application id or admin user ids between the quotes.  For most people this will be the application id which is obtained by registering your app/site at Facebook: http://developers.facebook.com/setup/



2) > includes/templates/your_custom_template/templates/tpl_product_info.php



Find this code (line 22):

FB.init({appId: 'your application id', status: true, cookie: true



and enter your application id between the single quotes.







Change "your_custom_template" to your template name. Upload each file to the appropriate folder.





For more information on integrating Facebook with websites: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/web

and also:

this for the earlier versions...I suppose you are using 1.3.9h or are you using 1.5 zencart...either way I use 1.3.9h and also added these lines to my file:

2) html_header.php

Change the second line of the file to: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?>> to 

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?> xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">



Add this code

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

    <meta property="og:site_name" content="<?php echo TITLE; ?>"/>

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

     <meta property="og:url" content="<?php echo $canonicalLink; ?>"/>

     <meta property="fb:admins" content="your_application_id or facebook admins"/>

    <meta property="og:type" content="product"/>



anywhere before the </html> tag.  I added it after <meta name="author" content="The Zen Cart&trade; Team and others" />



3) metatags.php

Replace this code (line 210 in 1.3.8)

 $sql= "select pd.products_name, p.products_model, p.products_price_sorter, p.products_tax_class_id,

                                      p.metatags_title_status, p.metatags_products_name_status, p.metatags_model_status,

                                      p.products_id, p.metatags_price_status, p.metatags_title_tagline_status,

                                      pd.products_description, p.product_is_free, p.product_is_call,

                                      mtpd.metatags_title, mtpd.metatags_keywords, mtpd.metatags_description



with this



 $sql= "select pd.products_name, p.products_model, p.products_price_sorter, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_image,

                                      p.metatags_title_status, p.metatags_products_name_status, p.metatags_model_status,

                                      p.products_id, p.metatags_price_status, p.metatags_title_tagline_status,

                                      pd.products_description, p.product_is_free, p.product_is_call,

                                      mtpd.metatags_title, mtpd.metatags_keywords, mtpd.metatags_description



4) metatags.php

Add this code (line 293 in 1.3.8):



    //bof facebook like button

    if($product_info_metatags->fields['products_image']!='') {

        $FBimgURL = (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG : HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ) . DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info_metatags->fields['products_image'];

        define('META_TAG_FBIMG', $FBimgURL); 

    } else {

        define('META_TAG_FBIMG', '');

    }

    define('META_TAG_FBTITLE', str_replace('"','',zen_clean_html($product_info_metatags->fields['products_name'])));

    //eof facebook like button



between this 



 } // CUSTOM META TAGS



and this



  } // EOF

  break;

I also added this additonal code to the file cause my store would not show the image if I just put the link into FB without using the button at the store cause it will show the images in my own account but not into our group account and now it does show it anywhere in FB I should post the link manually

<meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo META_TAG_TITLE; ?>"/>

We all make mistakes when manually adding something so don't worry about that. I would compare the files mentioned to see if the code is something that might help...make duplicates to work with then just upload the good one back if it messed things up

I did notice that in your source code you have the og:image content going to http://www.millecover.com/images/

I dropped the images/ part on mine since I have Image Handler and it will use the folder where these are located. Maybe try taking it off yours --might be confusing the software?? not sure.

Using Zen 1.3.9h

have a heap of varying addons installed...

Love this addon, another great contribution...

Had a strange issue with it once installed, it worked fine, but for some reason the product descriptions on product pages were doubled up ? i.e. duplicate descriptions of the product...

Figured it was something to do the tpl_product_info_display
and after a compare to my original file i deleted the code below from file to resolve the problem

<!--bof Product description -->
<?php if ($products_description != '') { ?>
<div id="productDescription" class="productGeneral biggerText"><?php echo stripslashes($products_description); ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<!--eof Product description -->
<br class="clearBoth" />



it works now and i'm stoked..

why i have no idea, do i care, not a bit
