can you post a link to your site where this is happening?

I'll send you an email/private message as the site is hidden right now.

Hangon

well.. if the site is hidden, that's the problem!! Facebook can't access the data when you say "like", that's why it isn't working

Thanks for that! I was wondering if it may have been that.

I'll post if I have any further problems once I make it public

Greg

Hmm. I've just tested the social bar and the 'Like' button. The social bar still doesn't post an image from my page on FB. It simply shows the link and the comment that I write.

I made the site 'public' and accessible. I pasted the url to my album in another browser, that isn't logged in - and it shows it fine, so I'm not sure why the image still isn't showing?

Also, when I hit like - it shows that I've liked it by displaying my FB avatar on the album page, the small thumbnail - but it doesn't display my like on FB.

I hope this can be remedied. Thanks

hmm.. is it possible that FB changed some of their necessary headers (you know, the Open Graph protocol... let me check on this.

ok, it is indeed the OG protocol, it has new changes...

you should add this to your /views/album/view.html.php file (line 166)

$document->addCustomTag( '[meta property="og:url" content="'.$uri->current().'" /]' ) ;

		$config =& JFactory::getConfig();

		$document->addCustomTag( '[meta property="og:site_name" content="'.$config->getValue( 'config.sitename' ).'" /]' ) ;

please remember to replace the [ and ] characters for the correct ones.

I'll give this a go tomorrow! Thank you

Sorry, but what [ and ] characters do you mean? Are they in the file? As I don't see any in that code above

You're most helpful

Thanks,

Greg

Just wanted to post again, and say - There's no data in this file already mentioning such a protocol. Is it definitely the right file?

On line 166, I have this

if($album->id){
//creem els breadcrumbs
(line 166)
$letters = MusColAlphabets::get_combined_array();

$pathway->addItem($letters[$album->letter], 'index.php?option=com_muscol&view=artists&letter='.$album->letter);

Enter all of the code you mentioned above in that blank line? What do you mean by [ and ] characters, too?

Thanks!

what version of MC are you using?
well, if it's not on that line it's maybe a bit below, but yes it's there where you have to add it.

this is the right place!

The latest version, I think - unless there has been a new version in the past month or two?

Would you be able to make the edits to the file for me if I upload it here?

I can't see anything that relates to FB within this code, so I'd prefer if you could

Thank you!

Greg [file name=view.zip size=2278]http://www.joomlamusicsolutions.com/images/fbfiles/files/view.zip[/file]

well that's definitely not the file for version 2.3
just download the component again and search for that file! you'll see what I mean!

How strange! A lot of my files seem to be mismatched, yet I'm using 2.3 in the primary form. I wonder if there's a way I can test file sizes against a newly downloaded copy.

I'll give it a go. Thanks

Hey.

I've just downloaded a brand new copy of the component - file name -

com_muscol_2.3.0_community_pro_1.6

I'm using 2.5 - there isn't one difference in code between my files ( /views/album/view.html.php) between the new one and the one on my server.

But you said my one on the server definitely isn't the new one? I'm really confused - I just want to add the code change you asked me to make.

Could you help?

Thanks

wow...
I'm confused too. in my local files, the code I told you is there.. but I realise that the version I download from here, does not contain those pieces of code!!! :S :S
well, I re-packed and re-uploaded. it should be there now (by the way I changed the package name from com_muscol_2.3.0_community_pro_1.6 to com_muscol_2.3.0_community_pro_2.5)
please download and see that file again.. you will know what I meant and you won't need to change any code

sorry for this.. I owe you a beer at least!

don't worry, all the rest of the files you have are up to date. it was just this file that contains the Facebook Open Graph changes...

let me knoww!!

Oh wow! Hah. Okay. Awesome! I'll re-download tomorrow and give it a go.

Hopefully it should all be good! Don't worry about the beer, but you can certainly help me code the conditional views (in the thread I posted here) if you would like when you have the time? I can dabble with the code, but I don't know where to start!

I'm being cheeky!

What character are we supposed to use to replace the '[' with??

{

When I insert the code I get some of the code displayed at the top of my page.. Im replacing 4 '[' with '{'.. right??

I'm not sure I follow you..
what's the code you are placing? can you make an screenshot, maybe?

I used the code you put in this thread.. here is a link to my page..

http://my2196.com/index.php/music/1/2-itoljahso-by-2196-productionz/3-itoljahso-vol-1

wait wait... where are you putting this code?
it's not in the right place.

hold on. remove it. I'll try to send you a correct file to solve this.

this is about Facebook publication looking correctly. right?

yes about posting to facebook correctly..

I'm having the same exact problem on my site, www.lyriclobby.com, the facebook like doesn't show on facebook, the facebook share has no details and the facebook comments don't show on facebook.

I tried replacing the code as instructed and in my own case I'm using com_muscol_2.4.3_community_pro_3.0 version 2.4.3 so the line was at line 208 but it still didn't work. Please i'm attaching my views.html file so hopefully you can help me with the changes or give me instructions on how to fix it. Thanks
