facebook share not working

bradpowellphoto · December 17, 2011

All of a sudden my Facebook share feature is not working

There is a little message saying I need to grant permission to publish to facebook but when I click on the link nothing happens

Does anyone know how to fix this?

Thx

So without notice Facebook removed the ability for us to use and extract data from their verified cookies, which we have much of our stuff based off of.

We have our awesome social stuff sorcerer on it and he thinks he will have a fix for it soon. Sorry for the inconvenience here. But in the mean time the share and like buttons should still work for you.

The share button worked earlier this morning, but not now. The post is going through to FB, but not the pic.

What specific photo did you try to share? Include a link to the photo in the gallery.

I've tried several.

This one worked

and after that, none worked

I eventually got it posted by using this link directly on FB and then wading through all the thumbs to get to the one associated with the pic

We are aware of the problem and are working to rectify the situation. This issue is related to changes on Facebook API that requires us to re-do more code than we initially thought.

Hi, Miikka gave the latest word we have which was the post right above yours. I hope we can adapt to Facebook's new way very soon, sorry for the hassle

Sharing to Facebook should work again. Sorry for the trouble.

Thanks Smugmug Tech gods! Now my Christmas would be totally complete if Google+ sharing was enabled too!

Is the FB sharing down again? I am having trouble sharing with "Publish to Facebook" link, it's not coming up in any of the share drop down lists. It has worked previously, but not now

Works ok for me. Check that you are signed up for the beta on <your URL>/darkroom page. Let us know if there is still probmels with this.

CBP · January 20, 2012

Thank you for that. I had joined beta before, but had to do it again. All working now

"Like" button issue one in the same?
As of today, my "Like" button isn't working and appears as a mini FB profile image (which is the same as my bio pic on SM, so could be that that I am seeing.) It appears/works fine in IE, but errs in Firefox. Is this related/the same as the initial posted issue?

ravenly98 · January 22, 2012

Forgot to add that when I click on the once-was "Like" button, it takes me to my Facebook profile home page. NOT my business page. IE works like it's supposed to.

This like button?

ravenly98 · January 22, 2012

That would be the one! It's back! And it goes to the right place!

Do you know if the issue might've been caused by FB changes? No programming edits have been made in days on my end.

No clue, sorry

It's nothing on SmugMug's side as that is part of your customizing...

Last week I was able to share SM photos directly to my Facebook business page, but today the only option I have in the SM Facebook share window is "Post to Wall." Didn't there used to be a menu option for posting to my business page?

Is there a problem possibly related to the new Timeline Facebook interface? I just went live with Timeline on my personal FB page and was wondering if this is why things aren't working right.

Smug Eric · February 2, 2012

@PDBreske If you are in the Be Social menu then the only option there is the Post to Wall. And under your photos in the Quick Share you should have Like and Share. We do have the Publish to Facebook in development that you can try here, but it's not a finalized product yet:

I have already signed up for the Publish to Facebook feature, and up until today I was able to publish photo directly to my FB business page.

I've looked around to see if I'm missing something, but I can't figure it out. I swear it was there before. What am I missing?

You'll have two options for posting images into albums. Select the 'A Facebook Page Album', then select which page you want to publish on.

PDBreske · February 2, 2012

Okay, I don't know what happened, but after I signed up (again, apparently) for the Facebook publishing, I am now able to share images to either my personal FB wall or my business page wall. Attached is a screenshot of the "Where would you like to share this?" menu I was trying to find before.

Seems to be fixed. Again, I'm not sure how it happened, but that was turned off. Probably some obscure privacy thing I switched off when publishing the new Timeline interface on FB.

Thanks!
