Share button for Addthis not working properly
« on: August 22, 2012, 05:02:19 am »
I found out that the share button for Addthis isn't working for Facebook when sharing an image. It seems to post a link to the image (as it mentions the link) but it goes to the main gallery instead of the image.  Anyway to fix this?

On the other hand, the Facebook button not always uploads a preview of the image. This seems to be randomly and I have no idea on how to fix it.

Will check the link and see if I can fix the issue with sharethis.

For the second part about images not showing in feeds. Facebook does have some requirements.

They are very vague and can't see to find an exact link on their site but did find this post

I can add something on this. I have made some tests and when an image doesn't appear on the preview, sometimes (not always), if I wait a bit and refresh the pop-up window, the image appears. It's really a strange problem...

I found out that Google+ button also fails to link to the image shared.

This is what it's posted on Google+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/117541645275053230352/posts/GcGHEKaS6jT#117541645275053230352/posts/GcGHEKaS6jT

The link appears to be correct but when you click it, it goes to this link: http://themobilephotographyblog.com/index.php?action=gallery;sa%3Dview;id%3D85

Making it to fail to open the image and it goes to  the main gallery.

Probably it's not you your side, still I thought that would be good to report. The same link problem is what happens with the Facebook share on the AddThis button. Still, the Facebook alone button works well.

I realized that when the share button replaces the "=" for "%3D", the link goes to the main gallery, failing to go the the picture.

I'm having this problem too and I'm running SMF Gallery Pro 7.0.2

Any photos shared to Google+ link back to the gallery home page, instead of opening up the photo .... and the link has that "%3D"

Was a solution found?

Best wishes

Thanks for the fast reply, I think I'll disable the Google+ share icon then.

Best wishes
