I manage a news website in which we post articles and need to have the ability for our users to share individual articles/pages to Facebook. The website is hosted using CMS so I do not have access to the head code nor meta tags for Facebook's Open Graph technology. When I try to share an article to Facebook, it shares the entire website's meta description and a random image from the page, instead of the individual article/page title and description. Usually the link does not work either.
Another company that uses the same host and CMS as us has gotten this to work. I've copied their AddThis code to my site and customized it, but it still does not work. The rollover does not work for me either.
Here is their code in a script tag:
var addthis_pub="greatlakespublishing";
var addthis_brand = "Cleveland Magazine";
var addthis_header_color = "#ffffff";
var addthis_header_background = "#ce1a30;";
And a link tag:
a onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', '[url]', '[title]')"
onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"
href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=20"
Here is what's inside my script tag:
var addthis_pub="indianewengland";
var addthis_brand = "INDIA New England";
var addthis_header_color = "#ffffff";
var addthis_header_background = "#009;";
And my link tag:
a onmouseover="return addthis_open(this,' ','[url]','[title]')"
onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()"
href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=20"
Unfortunately you have to use Open Graph. You might be able to hack something together using Facebook's URL debugger to see where it's pulling information from: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug
