Facebook like button doesn't work really good

Post by eglerandrew »

Hi!
I just started to develop my serendipity blog site and I have a problem. I need "facebook like button" below every entry. I created the button with facebook.com/developers but it doesn't work so good. If I like an entry I only see a picture from my blog and the url address (xx.xy.hu) on my facebook page. But I would like to see a short text from the entry I liked...
Please, help me! :)

Thanks a lot,

Andrew

Thank you! But I've already tried the findmore plugin. On my facebook page I only see a picture and the blog's URL (and the title of the blog). But I'd like to see a short text from the entry I liked on the blog.
I've no idea what's wrong... :cry:

Hi!

You are most likely missing the '<fb:...>' metatags. You can either insert them yourself in your entries.tpl template, or you might want to use the serendipity_event_facebook plugin from Spartacus which adds those values by itself.

Thank you for your help! I tried facebook and findmore plugins, but the result is the same: I like an entry but on my facebook page I only see the url, the title and a picture, but I can't see short text from the entry... Why? :?:
