Hello,

For JA Events, I need the Facebook Share button to share that one article only, even from the front page. The problem is when I click share for the article on the front page, the plugin ends up sharing the entire website.

It does work when you view the article by itself and share, it will share that one article. But if you click share from the front page, it ends up sharing the website…

PLEASE HELP!

Hello kofi,

Please open the file
plugins/content/plg_jafacebookshare.php

Find the code snippet:

if(!isset($article->readmore_link)){
$article->readmore_link = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($article->slug, $article->catslug, $article->sectionid));
}
And Replace with:

if(!isset($article->readmore_link) || empty($article->readmore_link)){
$article->readmore_link = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($article->slug, $article->catslug, $article->sectionid));
}

Best regards,
ThanhNV

awesome! thank you, looks good now.
any chance to replace the default meta information derived from joomla main settings with the first lines of the respective article? I have seen other fb share extensions, where you could choose whether you want to include joomla meta info or article info.

Fb share plugin automatically get meta data from url that you share, so that you only need update meta data for each your article and they will be used instead of default meta data of home page.

Thanks ThanhNV for your reply.
Well I’ve already edited meta data of that respective article (meta description, meta key words and robots). However, if I click on the fb share button, it still shows the general meta data of the website.

Hello kofi,

Fb has cached data for shared urls.
Please test with new articles.
