I found this problem all over the net but no answer yet, so maybe here someone solved it …?
I built a page relying heavily on jquery.address. It’s got one index page and the rest loads dynamically via Ajax following Google’s /#!/ scheme for crawlable pages. Now I want to add Facebooks Like or share button but I can’t get it to grab the actual page title or url.
Whatever I do, it always falls back to title and url of the index page. It tried:
- (obviously) changing title an openGraph meta on load of the new parts.
- “linking” the crawler page (
?_escaped_fragmet_=xyx) but specifying the#!page in meta - “sharing” with a given title and url.
I never get anything but a link to the index page or a blank “share” to the right url with title and thumbnail ignored.
Has anyone got a similar setup working?
Thanks for any hints,
thomas
Facebook is actually using
#!now and it works! If you build your site so that http://site.de/?_escaped_fragment=something is identical to http://site.de/#!/something all you have to do is “share” the#!url and it’ll display the info from the escaped fragment page.Use this URL to check: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
