Question

I’m developing an ajax based web site and I want to include a FB share function on the loaded content. The links use a hash tag and I can’t manage to get the full links to show up when using the share function, I only get the domain url. Are hash tags not allowed or is there a special method for sharing such links?

Answer 1

Use URL Encoding for the # character. Just replace the following:

http://www.example.com/#/path/to/whatever/

with:

http://www.example.com/%23/path/to/whatever/

This will allow you to pass the # to share on Facebook, Twitter, etc without getting stripped.
