A wish

Dear softpress and all action gurus/creators,

First I love fw6 and the changes. I ask one thing of you in regards to Facebook and the add this action.

To be able to have an action or a way to fb/social media share a specific HTML or graphic item / box on fb or twitter or even google + instead of sharing the entire page.

I have a couple of clients that want that ability and I am now looking at other means then freeway… Which also is causing a headache …lol…

So somewhere on a wish list can you please add this. Especially in today’s rich social media society

Sincerely,

Julie

This is not a FW issue - if there are APIs in FB or Twitter etc that support this then it can be done in FW but not necessarily with an action.

I am afraid that we can’t make actions to cover every eventuality as we would make loads of actions for which there was no use case.

If there are enough people that want such a thing, and FB etc. support it, then there is a reason to make an action - otherwise…

I think it is partially a fw issue. We have actions that do many things including the fb like, feed and recommend … Why can’t we have one of those actions point to a specific item not just the page? In today’s world of social media… At least what I see in the us… That is becoming more of a demand.

If freeway wants to keep up w Wordpress and the plug ins that they and other type of platforms in the social media world. A plug in or an action that does this is becoming a demand.

I get that fw is not wp or joomla … But there are so many things that we can create in fw that can equal them… This wish is one that it lacks and it is an important feature.

I do understand your point though… But what I have experienced in requests this is an important request… And I do love fw and softpress and hate to look at other platforms

I agree - if not an action, then a community effort to cover how to do more
social things with our sites. Actions make things easier, but even just
some help learning how to implement these features would be welcome.

I’ve read this a couple of times, but I don’t think I’m getting it … sorry :S

I am asking for a way weather it is a workaround or an action to be able to share a specific item (HTML box, graphic ) on Facebook. Not just the page.

Have you ever , for example, been on the today shows site and you click on the Facebook f or recommend in the story or the stories blurb on the front page and gotten a share / recommend box pop up about just that specific story that you can write something about what you are sharing? And it then posts on your timeline?

I am wishing for a way to do that … Not just share / recommend the whole page I have many client current and potential that would like to have events listed on their site and have people share that specific event w their fb peep.

I hope that is clearer

Can you please post a link that shows specifically what you are talking about here?

Anything is possible, given prior art to crib from.

Thanks Walter:

here is the original link:

here is my example:

http://grassrootsweb.net/facebookpopup.jpg

another example is:

http://evento-script-demo.ivanribas.com/events/view/france/paris/some-venue/new-event-1

if you click on the Facebook or the twitter icon under the event - the same thing happens for that specific event
(but in the same window not a pop up- which the pop up is better)

Thank you again. I hope that helps

Hi
I think what you are looking for is a way to create or insert:

  <meta property="og:image" content="URL to image">
  <meta property="og:title" content="Title">
  <meta property="og:description" content="Short description">

This is quite an easy thing to do add into a freeway static page… the problem is if you need it to be dynamic as in a blog or in a cms controlled area to allow you choose the actual image, the title and the description whilst within the browser environment.
(I did this for the webyep facebook like actions and can be seen here: http://www.max-izzat.co.uk/FB/index.php), but if you just wanted it to be static and predefined then you need to put the script above just after the opening tag and change the URL, Title and Description to what ever you want others to see in a FB wall.

does that help?

kind regards max
