I have a problem with customization of data for the like button for Facebook.

  • 0

I have a problem with customization of data for the like button for Facebook. I want a custom image and a custom description. So I put some Facebook metatag in the header (under <head>). For example:

meta property="og:country-name" content="Romania"

meta property="og:title" content="Recomandare Bile 0.30g DEVIL (Blaster)"

meta property="og:type" content="product"

meta property="og:url" content="http://www.bigboytoys.ro/index.php?productID=1212"

meta property="og:image" content="http://www.bigboytoys.ro/products_pictures/16177.jpg"

meta property="og:site_name" content="BigBoyToys.RO"

meta property="og:locale" content="ro_RO"

meta property="fb:admins" content="1297430153"

meta property="fb:app_id" content="118952644876020"

meta property="og:description" content="Bile de 0.30g la sticla de 3000 buc.

All seams to be right for the HTML, but the Facebook linter gives me en error indicating that I have meta in body, but there is no meta in body.

Actually, Facebook scrapes for the wrong data. Lines 2 to 6 are not in my source code and is just put there by scraper: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/og/echo?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bigboytoys.ro%2Findex.php%3FproductID%3D1212. And so the like button ignores the content from metatags.

My site is served by script shop free modified and Smarty 2.6.0.

    I took a look at your source and what the Facebook debugger has to say about it, and it seems like it’s right…

    As the message say:

    This is either because your was malformed and they fell lower in the
    parse tree, or you accidentally put your Open Graph tags in the wrong
    place

    If you look at this in your source:

    <meta property="fb:app_id" content="118952644876020" />
<meta property="og:description" content="Bile de 0.30g la sticla de 3000 buc. ">

    You can see the difference between two tags, the second does not end in ‘/’ which leaves that tag open. You need to close it.

    You might have more opened tags in your source, and you should check it out. You can use The W3C Markup Validation Service, and see what it says about your URL.
