Facebook share on mobile device

Question

I am using this URL to share the URL, title, description and image to Facebook:

http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?&s=100&p[url]=ENCODEDURL&p[title]=encoded TITLE&p[summary]=encoded description&p[images][0]=encoded

It works fine in desktop site, but doesn't work in the mobile site. The mobile site changes the URL to m.facebook.come/sharer.php?....

I changed the Facebook URL to m.facebook.com/sharer.php?... and passed the same parameters like title, description and image but it still doesn't work.

After searching on Google, I have come across an article that explains that we can send two parameters in the mobile version of Facebook: u for URL and t for title.

What should I do to have a similar result for users that navigate to Facebook either using a desktop or mobile device?

Answer 1

I just ran into this same problem, and my only solution was to force mobile users to use the desktop version of sharer.php. It looks like ass on mobiles but it functions as expected and was the best way I could find to not completely hose sharing in my app. In the end, my client would rather have working, less-aesthetically pleasing sharing than a proper mobile sharing page that was broken.

To do this, all you have to do is add a ?m2w parameter to sharer.php.

In your case:

http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?m2w&s=100&p[url]=ENCODEDURL&p[title]=encoded TITLE&p[summary]=encoded description&p[images][0]=encoded

Answer 2

You can use mobile version of sharer.php as there isn't any alternatives.

http://m.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=<urlencoded url>

For example:

http://m.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://www.example.com
