+t0mc@ Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 (edited) Hi everybody, came across this issue: The "Share on Facebook" Button behaves different whether one use it on a freshly created log or one use it when re-viewing the log (the last version should be the correct one). Here are the details: 1) Write a new log, submit it, the "... found ..." - page appears: 2) At this page, hover over the "Share on Facebook" button, see the link at the bottom: As one can see, it's something like this: https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?ID=17316&lcn=1 The geocaching.com url after u=... leads to the "Create a new log" - page: 3) So clicking the button leads to this facebook share site: Here just a very common message appears, not the cache name or parts of the log Now almost repeat the steps like this: 1) Open the listing of the cache one just logged, scroll to the log and click on "View / Edit Log / Images": 2) At this page, hover over the "Share on Facebook" Button, see the link at the bottom: Notice, it differs from the one above. It seems to directly point to the log's LUID: https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=0d656880-7cc4-4451-a9c4-22ade30f5a3f Here the geocaching.com url after u=... leads to the correct log entry: 3) Now facebooks share page looks correct as it should be IMHO: I think, the share button should behave similar, whether it is used while entering a new log or editing an existing one. IMHO it should always point to the "LUID", so the "edit" - version should be the right one... Thx a log in advance. T0mc@ Edited May 4, 2016 by t0mc@ Quote Link to comment

+t0mc@ Posted June 14, 2016 Author Share Posted June 14, 2016 (edited) Hi everybody, just realized, that sth. seems to have changed with the "Share on Facebook" Links. Now, the "Share on Facebook" Link on the "View / Edit Log / Images" Page is broken (the one from my second way in the starting post). Actually it is: https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx%3FLUID=15dec505-d364-41aa-8b3f-b2c700ec84f6?LUID=15dec505-d364-41aa-8b3f-b2c700ec84f6 where it should be https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https://www.geocaching.com/seek/log.aspx?LUID=15dec505-d364-41aa-8b3f-b2c700ec84f6 Greetings T0mc@ Edited June 14, 2016 by t0mc@ Quote Link to comment
