[Forum] Facebook like button not giving correct link

[Ferrari27]

When a member likes a thread on the forum the link it puts on facebook is not working correctly resulting in an invalid thread error when clicked on from facebook.

For example

url on forum - xxxx/forums/showthread.php/29750-WMSC-confirms-F1-rule-changes-for-2012

url when clicking via facebook is - /forums/showthread.php/showthread.php/29750-WMSC-confirms-F1-rule-changes-for-2012

An extra showthread.php is being added

What settings do you have for your URL's?

[Ferrari27]

CMS articles are working fine, just threads on forum

[Ferrari27]

Anyone?

[McCarron]

I'm seeing this exact problem on 4.1.10. Any known fix for it?

[ab420]

I'm having this same problem.

I have this issue as well on 4.2

Does anybody have a fix for this? We have the same thing.

Why does it add an extra showthread.php

No-one's actually answered Brandon's questions in post #2

AdminCP > Settings > Options > Friendly URLs

Sorry about that. Did not notice it when scanning over it. Here is what I have

URL Type-- Advanced Friendly URLs
Enforce Canonical URL -- Standard
Enforce Canonical URL for Registered Users -- Yes
Friendly URL Unicode -- Ignore
NCR Encode UTF-8 URLs for IE -- NO
Standard URL Routing Variable -- r


One other thing off topic. Where is it, in the setting when someone makes another post, in the same topic, it will add it to there last post? Just like #8 on this thread. I never knew Vb did that it's quite a nice feature and want to implement it on my site.

Can you give us a link to your site please.

Can you give us a link to your site please.

Here you go. 1 site. http://www.mightyram50.net/vbulletin/forum.php

Is it doing this for all threads, or just a specific one?

It looks like <link rel="canonical" href="showthread.php/1598-gone-to-long" />
doesn't match
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.mightyram50.net/vbulletin/showthread.php/1598-gone-to-long" />

IDK what is happening. If you pick one in the same category just below it like the one from Hawaii it does not work. So I cant really tell you. It's odd to say the least. i thought it was doing it for all of them. I see it's doing it on this thread now. http://www.mightyram50.net/vbulletin...he-Fear-Monger
It send you this URL back from FB.

It's all over the place.

One other thing. My facebook button does not show up with IE but it does with Fire Fox. Thats strange.....
