Like/Recommend Shows link relative to www.facebook.com

I have recommend buttons setup for articles in a blog. My OpenGraph meta tags are setup and checking the url on the facebook debugger shows the expected information (shown below obfuscated)

fb:app_id   xxx
og:url  http://example.com/blog/title-of-artilce
og:type article
og:title    Title of article
og:image    *correct image*
og:description  *description*
og:site_name    Sitename
og:updated_time 1326303278

However, in the user's wall, the image is not shown & the URL is shown relative to facebook: http://www.facebook.com/blog/title-of-blog

The problem is identical whether the recommend is on the actual page, or located on a different page with a URL directing to the page. The 'like' count functions as expected.

The updated time above shows that it shouldnt be a cache problem.

Any help appreciated.

* SOLVED * - URL submitted to button was relative rather than absolute.

Solution

  • Silly mistake on my part.. The links in OG were not fully qualified URIs ..

    So, /foo/bar was being translated to http://facebook/foo/bar
