Dynamic Facebook Share for Wordpress

Here’s the code for integrating Facebook Share with Wordpress (i.e. you want users to be able to post your pages on facebook and you want to control what gets posted).

//Dynamic title

<?php
if (is_front_page()) {
echo ‘<meta name=”title” content=”HOME TITLE” />’;
} else {
echo ‘<meta name=”title” content=”‘;
wp_title(”,true,”);
echo ‘” />’;
}
?>

//Dynamic thumbnail using Press 75 Simple Thumbnail plugin

<?php
if (is_single()) {
if ( p75HasThumbnail($post->ID) ) {
echo ‘<link rel=”image_src” href=”‘;
echo p75GetThumbnail($post->ID, 200, 125);
echo ‘” />’;
}
} else {
echo ‘<link rel=”image_src” href=”URL TO HOME THUMBNAIL“>’;
}
?>

//Dynamic description using post excerpt

<?php if (is_single()):while(have_posts()):the_post();
echo ‘<meta name=”description” content=”‘;
$out_excerpt = str_replace(array(”\r\n”, “\r”, “\n”), “”, get_the_excerpt());
echo apply_filters(’the_excerpt_rss’, $out_excerpt);
echo ‘” />’;
endwhile;
endif;
?>

Happy Facebook sharing!
