AddThis

Facebook share not picking up correct URL/Title/Description

Hi,

I'm having trouble getting the sharing tool to work only for facebook. It works for all other sharing links except for facebook. I'm trying to share a different URL than the one user is browsing at the moment. My code looks like below.

<!-- Begin AddThis Social Share -->
<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style" addthis:url="http://URL-TO-SOME-OTHER-PAGE-ON-SAME-SITE" addthis:title="Title for the share" addthis:description="Description for the share">

<a class="addthis_button_facebook" title="Send to Facebook" style="margin-top: 5px;">
</a>

<a class="addthis_button_twitter" title="Send to Twitter" style="margin-top: 5px;">
</a>

<a class="addthis_button_google" title="Send to Google" style="margin-top: 5px;">
</a>

<a class="addthis_button_compact" style="margin-top: 5px;"></a>

</div>
<!-- End AddThis Social Share -->

<!-- BEGIN Addthis Javascript -->
<script type="text/javascript">
var addthis_config = {
data_track_clickback: true,
ui_click: true,
data_ga_property: 'MY-GA-CODE',
data_ga_social: true
};
</script>

<script type="text/javascript">
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='" + document.location.protocol + "//s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js#pubid=MY-PUBID' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>

<!-- END Addthis Javascript -->
