drupal views facebook like button

Question

I tried to add facebook like button to my veiws, which lists a particular node-type. I used views custom field module to add the iframe code.

The problem is when I click like..

it shows Nikhil liked http://example.com/node/44

instead it should have shown Nikhil liked node title on example.com.

Where am I going wrong.

Answer 1

Use Open Graph tags:

Answer 2

oK , well I was able to achieve the above feature by following methods:

1. Created a cck field url-alias under a content type for which views is being created.

2. Using views-custom-field module, I put in the facebook iframe code.

3. in my views I included the url-alias field in hidden form and used it to form the url in the like code.

4. I also used the fb-social module and after that all my likes button were working as expected.
