The Facebook side

How to configure Facebook

The very first thing you have to do is to create a Facebook application.

  1. Open https://developers.facebook.com/app (if you are not registered yet, do it here). Look at that 'Create new app' button. It's your friend.
  2. Fill the popover form that appears
../_images/new-facebook-app.png
  1. Pass the security check (captcha). This is what you get:
../_images/myplonefbapp.png
  1. Edit the settings and complete the basic configuration with few more data:
    • the domain of your website (e.g. mywebsite.com)
    • (opt.) if you want to have Facebook autentication, select "Website with Facebook Login" and set the URL of your website.
    • (opt.) choose a category

Debug your HTML pages

There a useful tool that checks how Facebook sees your page: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

For example, checking a News object on a Plone website, this what you can get.

../_images/debug-page.png

Please, note all of those 'og:xxx' properties that has to be added to a standard Plone page.

There is also a warning about the image loaded in that news. It's about the fact that the usual image_mini is 140x200 and Facebook wants to have at least one 200x200 image set on the 'og:image' property.
