URL Sharing Problem

Featured Replies

Posted

Using the calendar, I've made an event, but the URL produced does not share well on social networking sites such as Facebook.  The link doesn't end up going to the right place and it doesn't get the proper images.

Example:  http://www.duboislive.com/community/forum/index.php?/calendar/event/359-fall-festival-immaculate-conception-school-grounds-brookville-pa/ should go to a specific event as you could guess being a fall festival in Brookville, PA when clicked. 

However, when shared, it displays all the linkage of the main message board itself instead of the specific link.

How do I fix?

Separate question:
How do I add social network sharing to individual events without having to manually paste code?

Oh boy.  So I turned it on. . . and I don't know where to get the .htaccess file and most of the links to my forum result in server errors.  What lines must I add to the .htaccess file?

Found it.  And edited it.  But now it produces this. . .but at least it goes to the right place.  It's something.

Give Facebook time to recache the link ;)

I've attempted to do this manually by requesting a new scrape using the Facebook debugger, but it returns this:
