I am building a product catalog website using joomla and virtuemart extension. To let users share my products on facebook, I have added a facebook share button in my product's flypage.
In the flypage I have added the following code:
<div> <a name="fb_share" type="button" ></a>
<script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript">
</script>
</div>
When I click on the share button it shows only the url of the website. But I want to show the product Title and Image of the product too. I have installed Virtuemart Open Graph plugin but it is not working.
Would you please kindly tell me how to show the title and image of the product when sharing on facebook??
Simple solution - you have to add og:tags to your page where the share/like buttons reside. The og:tags contain things like og:title, og:image...etc.
You can read more on the usage of the open graph protocol and about the og:tags at this URL : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/

found the links in Module Custom HTML module, in administration panel.
I am trying to add the images as button into existing article of web page. When I click on that button it have to redirect into another page or Url.
I have searched on net. I didn't get satisfied response.
I have gone through this page too.
Any help will be appreciated!!!
Actually, I have added the button using edit code option in joomla article, by inserting the following html code.
<a rel="nofollow" href="link_to_be_opened_on_image_click" class="weblink" style="text-decoration:none">
<img border="0" src="source_of_the_image_button.png" alt="Title" title="Title" />

I am trying to create a "pinterest share" button, but am running into a snag.
Currently, I have the pinterest button (generated from their Widget Builder) appearing in a Lightbox. (For certain reasons, it must appear this way.)
The issue is the Lightbox code has direct linking on it, so the code for the lightbox window is something like: www.domain.com/#/social/4
Pinterest is picking up that URL (which has no images since it's just the lightbox) instead of the URL for the main page (www.domain.com).
Does anyone know how I can specify the exact URL to share via the pinterest button?
I have read some posts that said doing this would work:
<img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/PinExt.png" alt="Pin it" / > <script type="text/javascript" src="http://assets.pinterest.com/js/pinit.js"></script>
However, specifying the URL does not seem to work at all. It appears to be totally ignored and has no impact.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!
You can use a standard link and specify all the data in the parameters:
<a href="http://www.pinterest.com/pin/create/button/
?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flickr.com%2Fphotos%2Fkentbrew%2F6851755809%2F
&media=http%3A%2F%2Ffarm8.staticflickr.com%2F7027%2F6851755809_df5b2051c9_z.jpg
&description=Next%20stop%3A%20Pinterest"
data-pin-do="buttonPin"
data-pin-config="above">
<img src="//assets.pinterest.com/images/pidgets/pin_it_button.png" />
</a>

You can try using structured meta data and Rich Pins.
I have created CMS pages in Magento and I want to share with Social site using share buttons Facebook, Twitter, Google+ so any one to tell me how to do that ?
Add this part to :
your_package/your_theme/template/page/html/head.phtml
before this line --> <?php echo $this->helper('core/js')->getTranslatorScript() ?>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://w.sharethis.com/button/buttons.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">stLight.options({publisher: "ur-c297c92f-9661-1cf3-697d-47c19ab7e281"});</script>
Add this part to your cms page :
<span class='st_facebook_hcount' displayText='Facebook'></span>
<span class='st_twitter_hcount' displayText='Tweet'></span>
<span class='st_googleplus_hcount' displayText='Google +'></span>
NOTE: using sharethis extension
You can check below URL for Addthis button, select style of button you want to share, grab the code and add that code to Magento Admin >> CMS >> Pages. click on to Html view of Editor and paste the code which you have grab from Addthis site, and you will see share buttons on front end. Another method is you can add this code to your template file commonly used for Example 1column.phtml is used for CMS pages and you need Share buttons on all CMS pages then you can paste the same code in .phtml template file.
Add this : https://www.addthis.com/get/sharing#.UK8_PoafHcc
Although this is an old thread i would like to share my answer which i found.
Add a meta tag in
template/page/html/head.phtml
<meta property="og:site_name" content="yoursite.com"/>
Create a Custom Variable from System/Custom Variables by pasting the Facebook sharing button code to Variable HTML Value.
To add like/share button to cms or static block, use the “Insert Variable” button to insert the Custom Variable you have just created.
