FAQ
How can I customize what is shared when people click on a Send Button?
The story created by the action of sending your page can be enriched by using meta tags to turn a simple HTML page into an Open Graph object. If you plan to use the Send button on any page on your website, you should read our best practices guide to ensure published stories look great on Facebook and get the best possible distribution.
How do I know when someone clicked on a Send button on my site?
The Send button allow you to subscribe to the 'message.send' event in the Facebook SDK for JavaScript through FB.Event.subscribe. This JavaScript event will fire any time a button is clicked.
When I click the Send button, the popup window ('flyout') doesn't show. Why?
If the Send button is placed near the edge of an HTML element with the CSS
overflow property set tohidden, the flyout may be clipped or completely hidden when the button is clicked. This can be remedied by setting the overflow property to a value other than hidden, such as visible, scroll, orauto.What analytics are available about the Send button?
If you visit Facebook Insights and register your domain, you can see the number of sends from your domain each day and the demographics of who is clicking the Send button.
How can I track referrals from a Send Button?
The
ref setting causes two parameters to be added to the referrer URL when a person clicks a link sent via the Send button:fb_ref- the ref parameterfb_source- the story type ('message', 'group', 'email') in which the click occurred.
For example:
http://www.facebook.com/l.php?fb_ref=top_left&fb_source=message
You can track these parameters using your analytics software.
Why and when does Facebook scrape my page?
Facebook needs to scrape your page to know how to display it around the site. This happens every 24 hours to ensure the properties are up to date. The page is also scraped when the URL is entered into the Debugger Tool.
Facebook observes cache headers on your URLs - it will look at "Expires" and "Cache-Control" in order of preference. However, even if you specify a longer time, Facebook will scrape your page every 24 hours.
In some cases you may want to serve a different version of a page to our scraper (containing more Open Graph metadata) than you do to people who are viewing the page. In this case you can target the browser agent used by the scraper:
"facebookexternalhit/1.1 (+http://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php)"How do I display the Send button in different languages?
You should include the language code when you instantiate the library. Replace ‘en_US’ in this line with the correct locale code:
'//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
