facebook and twitter buttons doesn't work - html

I am building a website in dreamweaver cs5. for some reason, the facebook like button and twitter share as well as follow button doesn't work. facebook like button shows nothing. (in the area, chrome says page cannot be found), twitter buttons show the hyperlink tweet and it tweets but the icon doesn't show up. The code for both are generated from facebook and twitter itself.
I haven't hosted the site yet. I and coding and previewing it. Is that the reason for them not to work?
I also tried addthis.com widget. It didn't show up as it should have.
Please help!
Many thanks.

Twitter button will function but not show up and Facebook button not render at all if the site is not on a reachable host, i.e. if u run it from your local server which is not accessible from the Internet. Hope this helps.

Whatsapp sharing link page doesn't exist

I doing a button to share a link to WhatsApp but after I clicked my button, the WhatsApp web shows the message "We couldn't find the page you were looking for".
this is my code
<a target="_blank" ng-href="https://wa.me/?text=aaa" data-action="share/whatsapp/share"></a>
after clicked my button, the URL
https://api.whatsapp.com/resolve?deeplink=/%3Ftext%3Daaa
May I know why the Whatsapp web show the message?
You code is correct, but..
It seems like Whatsapp broke this functionality a while ago. Only these kinds of texts with numbers are working at the moment.
(Was using the same functionality on my own site, have not found a proper replacement yet that works in all places/devices)
I fixed this issue by changing the href url to https://api.whatsapp.com/send/text?=aaa.

Share post on facebook, strange error

I need to implement a facebook share button on a website I am currently developing. The theory is simple and works with a simple link, e.g. https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Freddit.com%2Fr%2Fall%2F. This works for me for random pages and my home page.
However, this does not work for all pages of that web site except the home page (/).
Example:
Page http://www.youmatch.global/approach/
Share link https://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youmatch.global%2Fapproach%2F
The sharing dialog states "Object not found". I am already trying for two days but I have no clue what might be the problem.
Any ideas?

Direct link or html code to get facebook likes by cliking in a picture

I need a method to get likes for my facebook page directly by cliking on a picture
I mean when a visitor of my website click in a specific picture he automaticaly likes my page
with facebook social plugin I got this link but it doesn't make you liking the page automaticaly you need to click the like button and confirm
I don't know how to get that link or html code , "I visited a website uses this method"
I hope you can help me
I researched this as well but I can confirm you that, since this could be easily abused to mislead the client and obtain a load of likes, it is not possible in an official, Facebook-approved way.

Static HTML: iFrame Tabs - landing page

I am using the Static HTML: iFrame Tabs app to use to design landing pages for several businesses. I have designed the landing page in html and it works when I click view as fan and view as non-fan. I have selected to display the same HTML for both fans and non-fans.
Accordingly, I selected the option to set my landing page. As a non-fan I see this tab as my landing page. When a fan comes to the facebook page they are forwarded to my wall.
I remember researching this awhile back and it seemed it was a bug that facebook had yet to address. I recently ran into a business page that worked as a fan and non-fan. How is this done?
You will get anyway the wall if you liked once the page. It is a Facebook behavior.
This is not a bug, this is how Facebook works - page fans, when going to your page, are sent to the page wall.
You have to set default landing page for all users in your page settings.
Hope this helps.

Dynamically updating Images to Facebook Page

I want to dynamically update the three images from "Trend Alert" in the EDM below:

To this Facebook iFrame.
http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=198582036826535&sk=app_198582036826535
I'm hoping someone knows a way to update these automagically - I don't want to have to manually change them every week.
The problem as you can see is that the EDM above spits out a different dynamic link every week.
Any one worked on something similar to this before?
This Facebook page currently features the same technique (The Latest section) - so if anyone can shed some light on it that would be great!

EDIT: I've created the html email template and have got the iframe working - but i'm unsure how to link the images to the Facebook as the link to the html email (campaign monitor) will change weekly?

You can create a Facebook Application and install it as a tab in your client's Facebook Page. This tab will render an iframe with content from any URL that you specify. This way, you can do anything you want with your webpage (e.g. display 3 dynamic images), and it will be embedded in your client's Facebook Page.
