I see several websites such as macrumors.com using a Facebook button that is dark blue with their facebook logo and the word share on it... looking at code it says its called FBConnectButton, but a google search for it turns up nothing useful, nor is it obvious on the Facebook website.
This post refers to it as well, but not where the code originated from:
How to modify the facebook share button?
That's the old fb:share-button, you should probably be using fb:like these days, as fb:share-button has been phased out.

I got a little issue,
when I share my portfolio in Facebook or Linkdin I get a preview of the web as an image but with a wrong image(one of the images included in the code itself).
how can I fix that so that the preview image will be the the web image?
thanks
If you've already generated the image, I think you need to use this: developers.facebook.com/tools/debug to rescrap it and try and get FB to pull in the correct image.
There's a section, in the screenshot, that allows you to bulk clear FB caches if it's more than one URL you're having issues with, if it's just the one, the first tab should be what you need.
I'm trying to share in my Facebook wall a personal link and it's showing this image. I tried to modify metadata, etc in my website, but still same problem. Please any suggestion to fix it, thanks
Use: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
Use the sharing debugger and then scrape the page again to update it.
Also make sure to use the property: 'og:image' on the image you want to show.
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?

Now this is very tricky thing. I have recently seen that many blogs do have facebook comment plugins where anyone can comment and place relevant links.
But the problem is those links are in text and are not hyperlink or you can say not clickable.
I found here in this article post right down you can see a facebook comment plugin, there you can see a text link is a hyperlink.

Now my question how did that user do that? i mean from text to hyperlink. Becz normally it won't happen.
I have searched lot of stuff in google but i am not able to get the correct method.
The user doesn't make something that looks like a hyper-link display as a hyper-link, the webpage does!
What happens is that the scripting behind the page is using a reg is looking for a regular expression to pattern match URLs in the comments. When a match is found it'll be displayed as a hyper-link, if it doesn't match the regex it just displays as flat text instead of a hyper-link This either built into the Facebook comment plug-in or the website itself.
When text gets passed to HTML it has no way of telling what is and is not a link However if you process it through a script to identify links as being links you can tell it to display them as hyper-links rather than just plain text.
A great example/explanation of this is over at http://regexr.com/39i0i
Tl;Dr
Users don't make it happen, the plug-in/webpage make it happen.
With the exception of plug ins that require you use link tags, in the case of the page you linked though that is all that version of the Facebook plugin.
I'm not sure how to debug this. I paste the code from Facebook as it is given to me including the option to show faces of those that like the page.
I've clicked 'Like' using multiple Facebook accounts (more than three) but I only see three faces, never any more than three.
I searched stackoverflow and the facebook support threads and haven't found much mentioning this.
Could this be a URL scoping issue? The URL for the Like Button is for page other than the one it is on.
If someone could simply recommend how to begin debugging this, I would be very grateful.
I have tried both the iframe embed and the fbml version with the same end result.

I've had this happen when there aren't very many Likes (less than 300-500)?
