How can I add description to Facebook like button using JavaScript?

Question

Related to this article , I coded a simple Facebook like link as:

<a href="JavaScript:window.open('http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=http://jsfiddle.net','','width=657,height=400,scrollbars=1')">Like</a>

How can I add a personal description?

Answer 1

You can't do that using sharer.php anymore .

Using the feed dialog is the easiest alternative, but for more features I'd advise using their custom OG stories API .

Answer 2

Just add the required Open Graph tags to the link you want to share:

• https://developers.facebook.com/docs/sharing/best-practices#tags
• http://ogp.me/

That being said, if you want to add a "message", that´s not possible at all and not allowed anyway. The message always must be 100% user generated and prefilling is not allowed.
