Miva Store with a facebook like button included Price, pic, title, link and descripti

[goggles]

Hi,

A while back I found a Miva store that had a facebook like button which shared Price, pic, title, link and description. Does anyone know which store this is? If someone could post a url to it or another store with that feature it would be appreciated. You can also pm or email me.

regards,
G

Is this what you mean? If you like it, it puts a narrative in your news feed. http://www.emporiumplus.com/1AA00007.html

Hi Bill that's what I'm looking for. I've seen and tried to use the thread you posted this in.


my site is here

http://www.gogglesandglasses.com/bulkaviatorclearance1_101.html

I'm trying to create a like button that includes:

Image1 + Choice of image
Site URL
Title + Title linked
Price
Description

I had a link to the store that did all of this in the comments of the blogpost below but someone felt the need to delete my comment (insert nasty name here) and I had planned on contacting the owner to find out how they did it.

I assume that I somehow create an OG tag for price.

The open graph protocol does not have any tags for price. If you want to include the price in the default text, add it to your description or title.

Brandon, I think you are saying; "put a MVT=price" onto one of the OG tags that contains title or description?


maybe I'll find that store in my FB feed....

aaakkk.... pftt... finally found it

The "Share" button on the page. does what I want it to do. If I could get some "sharing" text pre-inputed into the box that would be nice?

I think what I am wanting is called a product want button and it doesn't exist yet.

Interesting button. If you mouse over it you will see it is using facebook.com/sharer.php. That method of direct posting to the news feed is obsolete. However, if you view source of that page you see an entirely different url. If you put that url in the browser you get some fairly odd stuff. You probably should not do that.

I understand that sharer has been depreciated and it's advisable to not use it. Any idea what method they are using to get the price into the share?

Any ideas on how to input pre-filled text into the share so it goes to the feed instead of the wall?


I think most people have not grasped how well this works to promote products and they certainly haven't considered what content/format gives the best return on an unsolicited share. I'm not that big on seeing counters and faces, I don't think they increase conversions but feel they might even cause concern about an entity (store) having too much information.

Any ideas?

Correct. Going by the example you posted below it would look something like this:

<meta property="og:description" content="&mvte:product:description; - Only &mvt:product:price;" />

or

<meta property="og:title" content="&mvte:product:name; - Only &mvt:product:price;" />

og:description would put the price in the body of the "share" where og:title will put it in the title (where I would usually put it)

Edit: One thing to add. If you use HTML in your product description, you will want to strip the HTML before posting as it will appear as code to Facebook. The toolkit has this ability of course.

You could run into an issue if you use price groups in your store. A visitor in a 30% price group might "like" the item. All of their friends would see the great price and go to the store. Bummed that the price listed for them was full price, you might get some negative feedback.

<meta property="og:site_name" content="&mvt:store:name;"/>
<meta property="og:title" content="&mvte:product:name; - Only &mvt:product:price;"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.gogglesandglasses.com/&mvta:product:code;.html"/>
<meta property="og:image" content="http://&mvt:global:domain:name;&mvte:product:thumbnail;"/>
<meta property="og:type" content="product"/>
<meta property="fb:admins" content="792338935"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="&mvt:product:description;"/>

That is what I have now... Got the price in the title YAY! Thanks Brandon!

I know I'm doing something wrong above.... I'm also getting errors on the facebook linter that I don't know how to fix.


No description yet
No choice of images


This product has multi images

No price groups here Bill.. No negative feedback either, we don't put up with it :-)

PS Brandon.. Thanks for the ONLY-$#.## idea... That's great thinking!

It looks kind of like you have registered your domain with a Facebook app. If that's the case, I think you need to change from using fb:admins to fb:app_id as you've told Facebook that the app owns the domain already, so it can't be highjacked by an admin. Not 100% sure though

Ok it's sorta working now.... I took out the ref to


<meta property="fb:admins" content="792338935"/>

<meta property="og:image" content="http://&mvt:global:domain:name;&mvte:product:thumbnail;"/>
<meta property="og:type" content="website"/>
<meta property="og:site_name" content="&mvt:store:name;"/>
<meta property="og:title" content="Only $&mvt:product:price; - &mvte:product:name;"/>
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.gogglesandglasses.com/&mvta:product:code;.html"/>
<meta property="og:description" content="&mvt:product:descrip;"/>

GOT IT yeah!

Took shot and guess that the debugger did not like "product" and changed it to "website"

Still having issues getting it to allow selection from multiple images... Anyone have a clue on this? I know we are telling it to use the #1 thumbnail right now. But we'd like it to offer a selection of all images on the page.

Brandon... Did I mention I loved that Pri$e in the title? Thanks!
