bsmither Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Would someone who has a Facebook account or has acquired a Facebook Platform Application ID for their site, help with this experiment. Create a file called opengraph.html and for its contents: <meta property="og:title" content="{$PRODUCT.seo_meta_title}"><!-- - Maybe $META_TITLE - The title of the entity.--> <meta property="og:type" content="article"><!-- - The type of entity. You must select a type from the list of Open Graph types. --> <meta property="og:image" content="{$PRODUCT.thumbnail}"><!-- - The URL to an image that represents the entity. Images must be at least 50 pixels by 50 pixels (though minimum 200px by 200px is preferred). Square images work best, but you are allowed to use images up to three times as wide as they are tall. --> <meta property="og:url" content="{$VAL_SELF}"><!-- - The canonical, permanent URL of the page representing the entity. When you use Open Graph tags, the Like button posts a link to the og:url instead of the URL in the Like button code. --> <meta property="og:site_name" content="{$CONFIG.store_name}"><!-- - A human-readable name for your site, e.g., "IMDb". --> <meta property="fb:admins" or "fb:app_id" content="???"><!-- - A comma-separated list of either the Facebook IDs of page administrators or a Facebook Platform application ID. At a minimum, include only your own Facebook ID. --> Choose "fb:admins" and enter the Facebook ID of an admin for the content value, or choose "fb:app_id" and enter the platform app number for the content value. Save the file in the /js/ folder found in the root folder of your store. Edit the template file main.php as follows: <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="{$TEXT_DIRECTION}" lang="{$HTML_LANG} xmlns:og="http://ogp.me/ns#" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"> <head> {include file='js/opengraph.html'} The point of this experiment is to correct what an individual has posted in the bug tracker, namely, when clicking a LIKE button, there is an thumbnail image seen in the flyout box. The image used by the Facebook LIKE button javascript routine is seemingly chosen randomly from all the <img> tags found on the page. This experiment is supposed to fix the image used to that of the thumbnail of the actual product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirty Butter Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Would it be helpful to you to try this on 5.1.4 or 5.1.5, or does it need to be 5.2.1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsmither Posted February 5, 2013 Author Share Posted February 5, 2013 I think it does not matter. But have you experienced a randomness to the image shown, if any image at all? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
convict Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 I was working on this last week and this is just enough to add to the main.php header section (some peeps are using og:image only) {if $PRODUCT} <meta property="og:image" content="{$PRODUCT.thumbnail}"> <meta property="og:url" content="{$VAL_SELF}"> {/if} New products LIKE button works well a proper image is used (does not matter image gallery there) but the older ones already LIKED don't as Facebook keeps results cached/recorded (URL and image). That means image wont change in the same URL instead if og;image URL. I have read somewhere FB rebuilds cache/records but I didn't noticed this may be more independent LIKE clicks required. Final code looks similar it will be in next release available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
i.ahmed Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Is it possible to Share a product and combine comments from a shared product with the Comments social plugin from FB? Reason being, to avoid comments being diluted in different places. Example, * liked post gets 5 comments * comments box gets 5 comments If both are combined, we're on to double figures.
