Enable the Ability to Select What URL is "Liked" on Facebook

Darter02

I set up a test page, trying to come up with a means to display specific photos. I placed a single photo block on the page, and then choose an image from another gallery. I then placed the social share buttons below it.

In the share buttons menu you can choose which URL is used for Twitter. You cannot do so with Facebook. In testing out the function of this button I found it "liked" the original image, in the original gallery, and not the actual page it was on. I'd like it to "like" the actual page.

Is it possible to allow us to choose which URL is "liked?"

You can probably achieve that with this Facebook Like Button hack that Mesenko discovered:

Thanks, I'll check that method out.

After reading through that I see how it would function, but it also adds a lot of extra work. I'd rather SM implemented a menu option like they do for twitter. I can see doing that method for a few pages, but I'm looking at creating around 100 similar pages. Having to build them all ONE @ A TIME is already time consuming enough. I also worry that SM will change something and that hack will go away.

I'll have to mull it over...

Thanks though! I appreciate your help.

Cool beans! It looks like we can now do this! I'm guessing this was part of yesterday's rollout? Either that, or I'm blind and missed it...
