ok, thanks. So you use just one method to make the read more as well? And the facebook sharer button can be in both pages, the one with the loop and the other with the long content?

Yes. The sharer button would be set on the loop page to point to the URL of the “detail page”, and on the detail page to point to the current page (using the JavaScript I already posted).
You will have to refer to the WebYep documentation regarding URLs within loops – that’s going to be where you get the link to use in your sharer button on the loop page. Read and find out how you set a link to a dynamically-generated page within WebYep, and then use that to set the “read more” button as well as the share this button.

Hi everyone
has anyone actually managed to integrate a Facebook like button into freeway so clicking on the button posts the page title and descriptive paragraph onto the logged in Facebook wall. The best I have been able to do is get the link to the blog but no descriptive text/first paragraph.
At the moment I cant even get a single like button on a page with static content to populate a Facebook wall correctly
Here is just one of the many examples which I have created over the last 4 days in about 8 different variations (with slight tweaks)
http://www.max-izzat.co.uk/blog/RMBlog.php
Needless to say all the samples I have created have not work correctly …aaaaahhhhhhhhhh … :o(
Eventually I need to create editable sections but thats pointless unless I can get a static version to work correctly.
If you want to have a look at what I need to end up with then have a look at this example.
What I am talking about is described here:
If you click on the Facebook button then it will post the article to your facebook wall correctly
http://hillarsaare.com/multiple-facebook-like-buttons-on-one-page/
and here is the multiple buttons example
http://hillarsaare.com/projects/facebook/multi-like/
which is the ultimate goal.
I have already created the Facebook Application to Get my App ID for my Website/Blog
and I have done a shed load of reading but nothing seems to work correctly
As I said I cant even get a single button static page to work correctly so it posts the snippet of the blog… so does anyone have any thoughts… suggestions etc before I go mad!!!

Hi Max,
I hesitated to answer here cause I’m more than sure that I anyway haven’t understood the entire idea of facebook. I got it running using the following code:
Each page-code has to be modified for new pages cause it isn’t the “FB Universal Application”. I haven’t had the opportunity to test it with the app cause we do not have any facebook-Account for our Template-Project, but did this in the past and as far as I remember this worked too.
The cool thing on the code-example above is that it takes the SEO Action description and title without any doubt.
But the caveat (or the “hammer”) is the “image” facebook grabs (or not).
Now as far as I know it needs to be an image less then x-kb and on one page Facebook even grabs the close x symbol of the webyep demo prompt (isn’t it nasty?).
You can test it on http://www.test.q-ring.de/follower/denim-disqus-follow.php if it is of interest.
But if the SEO action is the preferred place of taking stuff, why not add there a special place to put in an image that facebook could take to post?
Just a suggestion.
Cheers
