Hey Delia!
Thanks for the contribution and I'm in the same boat with regards to the error.
One thing though.
I caught the tpl_product_info_display.php naming error but the instructions also suggests that the meta_tags.php file is in includes/modules/my_template folder.
Shouldn't that be the includes/modules folder?

Also, I'm no coding expert but, while adding
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?> xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
to my html_header.php file, it shows in my editor as just black text, as if it needs, or is missing something.

PHP Code:


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

Thanks again.

ZC v1.3.8a
Hang on here.
I get the FB error on certain items, for example
http://minu.me/37a7
but it is working on other items and working just fine.
For example http://minu.me/37aa

Excuse me for not including this in one of my previous posts but, how can I edit the look of the widget?
As you can see, or cannot see, the "Be the first of your friends to like this." is lost on my black template.

Thanks so much for this cool addition and I hope the bugs get worked out of it.

Ill try to extract the codes I use on my cart and send them to you to see if it helps. I was making a social media mod that I had to put a side due to some other things going on. You can check it out at my clients website http://www.gotleather.com just pick a product and you'll see it.

No, the metatags.php is already there. This is a change so belongs in the override folder.

The added code for html header is required by facebook and the the editor may not like the php code inthe middle of it.

By the way, the template file is named correctly in the contribution; I was just calling it the wrong thing here in this thread..

Okay, the failure that gives the error

"Error Creating Page There was an internal error when updating the Page."

is a bug. Temporary fix is to exclude one of the required parameters in html_header.php.
Change <meta property="og:type" content="product"/> on line 27 to 

This is a bug reported and accepted on Oct 21. No telling when it gets fixed but I should get notified.

Thank you for the updates and answering my questions Delia, however, the file is named correctly but the mod instructions do refer to tpl_product_info.php instead of tpl_product_info_display.php
Not a biggy for me but might be for someone new to ZC mod installs.

Thanks again,
Stephen

ah, thanks. I'll make that correction.

To those having error with the facebook like button it appears that <meta property="og:type" content="product"/> is the cause of the problem. Temporarily commenting out or removing that meta tag solves the problem. Not exactly sure what's going on with Facebook.

I also noticed that after removing that line, I no longer have access to the admin page when a page is liked. Since the error message is actually related to not been able to connect to Facebook to create the page (when og:type is enabled) it will make some sense to think that's the reason the admin page doesn't exist.

Hopefully, Facebook will solve this issue soon.
