Description
Facebook share link should be facebook.com/share.php...., not facebook.com/sharer.php as it currently is.
#1
Why broken? for me all the ways work... sharer.php open the window related to share link without facebook menu in the page, using share.php appear the menu too (that's the unique difference i noticed).
#2
Can't tell you why - but when I use the sharer.php link, I get a facebook screen asking me for the link to share. When I just make it share.php, then it works. Both of them bring me to a facebook page.

Hi Stuart, i'll keep this issue active, i wish investigate more about this behaviour, can you submit the link where you have this trouble? Thank you :))
#4
Is this still an issue?
<?phpif (variable_get('service_links_show_facebook', 0)) {
$links['service_links_facebook'] = theme('service_links_build_link', t('Facebook'), "http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=$url&t=$title", t('Share on Facebook.'), 'facebook.png', $nodelink);
}
?>

Hi Rob you too have troubles using sharer.php instead of share.php?

I was just using it on a development site, but I'd previously tried to push it to a live site and ran into the same problem and thus opted for a different option.
I plan to push a site live in the next month or two using the service links module (and activating Facebook sharing) so I'll be sure to point you to it at that time.

This is fixed, although Facebook really enjoys when you stick in some meta tags like you see here.
