facebook - og:url is driving me crazy?

Question

hope you can help me...

I want to have a page with facebook metatags, like:

<meta property="og:title" content="TITULO" />
<meta property="og:type" content="website" />       
<meta property="og:image" content="http://profile.ak.fbcdn.net/hprofile-ak-snc4/277072_61646342824_993843268_n.jpg" />      
<meta property="og:url" content="http://www.clarin.com" />

and the problem is that instead of showing the descriptions, titles and images that I define in the metatags of my page, the facebook like box is generated with the url defined in my og:url. I was reading documentation and it seems that it should be in that way.

But I still want the facebook like box generated only with the metatags of my page, and not with the url defined in og:url.

is it possible? someone has done?

Answer 1

og:url basically tells the FB scraper "ignore anything on this page, and scrape this url instead" So it's doing exactly what it's supposed to do. If you want the like button to point to a different url, use the href parameter and have it point to a different url.

See https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ for more information.
