Change FB sharer button so it displays count?

[LDDG]

How can I change this FB share button:

 

so that it shows a FB share button with counter such as this one?

 

I copy the code FB provides for this share/counter button and pasted into the correct template but even though the button showed up without a problem, the link it was providing was incorrect.

Can anyone please help with this?

Not much to go on. What is the incorrect link? Which code did you use? Can we see a live URL where this is happening?

Ok,

Here is the current FB share button:

When hovering over this FB button, I get the following WORKING CORRECTLY link:

https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.losdurosdelgenero.com%2Finicio%2Fentrevista-exclusiva-a-%C3%B1engo-flow-de-noti-under-r4266%2F

The above working link is produced by the core/front/sharelinks/facebook template,  which contains the following:

<a href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u={$url}" class="cShareLink cShareLink_facebook" target="_blank" data-role="shareLink" title='{lang="facebook_text"}' data-ipsTooltip>
	<i class="fa fa-facebook"></i>
</a>

 

 

Ok, now when I change the code in the core/front/sharelinks/facebook template with the code from Facebook to look like this:

<div class="fb-share-button" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u={$url}" data-layout="button_count"></div>

 

I do get the correct button as seen here:

The above FB share button with counter gives me the following URL:

https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?app_id=1708992449339832&sdk=joey&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2Fsharer%2Fsharer.php%3Fu%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.losdurosdelgenero.com%252Finicio%252Fentrevista-exclusiva-a-%25C3%25B1engo-flow-de-noti-under-r4266%252F&display=popup&ref=plugin&src=share_button

This code does not work correctly as it does not pass the article's information correctly to Facebook.

This is what I get with this new code:

 

The website can be viewed at www.losdurosdelgenero.com and I used the very first article as an example.

Thanks for any help!
