The facebook button on the event registration page is not ‘forwarding’ the right information. As a result, on the facebook page the event appears but:
- with an incomplete URL (it addresses the REGISTRATION-PAGE but without the ?ee={x} parameters)
- with the wrong content: a featured image of an (apparntly random) event is visible, but not the image from the event I ‘Liked’.
I have looked into the espresso_social.php template, experimented a little bit with the facebook button function without result.
Example of an event-registration page on my site with the social button:
http://vrouwenwoensdag.nl/main/event-registration/?ee=7
Can you please advise what to do?
Thanks in advance for your response!

Are you talking about the facebook button to the right of the menu at the top of the page, or the facebook button in the registration form between the event location and the start of the registration inputs?

Hi Sidney, thanks for your response. I am talking about the facebook button between the event location and the start of the registration inputs…
(top-right-of-menu are just plain ‘corporate’ links to FB, Twitter and Linkedin)

Keimpe —
So, let me just say up front — because I was one of the ones who’s done a bit of work on the social media add-on — that the Facebook like button API sucks. One of the reasons it sucks is this problem — you have to deal with the amount of space they hard-code for their like buttons and the amount of space differs for the type of integration you’re using — so, if you had the faces option turned on, it would be 250px or something like that, and that’s what it is. You don’t have any control over that. This is precisely the reason that the Facebook like button is last in the sequence of sharing buttons — because there was no way to control the width of Facebook (other than make all the buttons have the same width, which looked even worse), so we put it last so it wouldn’t cause visual issues since there wouldn’t be anything next to it.
But it looks like you’ve added a LinkedIn button — which isn’t supported by the Espresso Social add-on. That’s fine, too, but you’ll probably want to put that first — before the espresso social action — rather than putting it after, because there isn’t anything you’ll be able to do about the size of the Facebook button.
