Hi,

I have implemented facebook share functionality with very basic code. But it does not display Image and title along with Link. I want to display custom title and images. My code is as below:

<a name="fb_share" type="button" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a>
<script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>
<meta name="title" content="This is the Title" />
<meta name="description" content="This is a short summary of the page." />
<link rel="image_src" href="http://www.murrayhilltech.com/images/LogoColorNoText.jpg" />

Please help me.

Thanks

Hi,

Facebook does no more actively support the Share button. It should still work, but should no more be used in new projects.

So the replacement for the Share Button is the Like-Button:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/[^]

To implement a Like-Button, you just have to add the following to your page:

HTML

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script>
<fb:like href="http://www.codeproject.com/" send="true" width="450" show_faces="true" font=""></fb:like>

This code was directly copied from the above link, the page can generate the code for you.

Hope this helps.

Best regards and happy coding,
Stops
