Facebook Like how to post product also to FB wall of customer?

[chris2407]

Hello,

 

i have a question regarding the facbook like function

 

Please check the Like ("J'aime") function on following shop you can find it on the right side:

 

http://www.menlook.com/fr/polos-homme/8873-polo-rouge-en-eponge-terry-orlebar-brown.html

 

This is also a prestashop. When you like this product it will mark on your facebook wall that you liked this product AND it will also post a message to the facebook wall of the customer with a picture and title of this product. You can see it on your facebook wall after you liked this product.

 

All prestashop LIKE modules and even the original FB Like tool does not support this to post the product with picture and description of it to the customers fb Wall.

 

Im very curious how this can be done and how this is possible? Cause this is a really great function... im trying to get this working since days but no like function does also post a message to the wall of the customer with the picture of the product and title...

 

Does anybody know how this can be done?

 

Also im very curious why it is needed to enter a APP ID or Facebook API ID into most facebook module settings? What is this for and why is it necessary? I saw that many modules dont need any ID and some require a APP or API ID... im very confused by this. Please tell me why is this necessary?

 

many thanks

Hi there, I do not understand all of the stuff that you have mentioned so I hope someone could shed some light into the issue.

For example how faceboop pages are connected to like buttons on the website or why you need an app_id but I can tell you that you need the open graph headers that pictures and links are posted on the wall.

You can see it in the source code of the page:

<meta property="og:site_name" content="xxx.com" />
    <meta property="og:image" content="http://pic.jpg"/>	    <meta property="og:title" content="tile" />	    <meta property="og:description" content="description" />		   <meta property="og:url" content="http://link" />
  <meta property="og:type" content="product"/>
  <meta property="fb:admins" content="xxxx"/>
  <meta property="fb:app_id" content="xxxx"/>

There are some modules that provide the funtionality.

Regards, trip
