Socialbookmarking Plugin and Facebook

OK.. I need help with this before I go crazy! My bookmarks work just fine.. the problem I have is some of the post will post just fine to Facebook and some will not?

And there's no pattern that I can figure out either. I can post one blog and it works fine and then the next will not post to Facebook.

The templates are identical obviously, so the only conclusion is it has to do something with the content block itself and something i am loading into it is causing the Facebook API not to read the URL and description or something?

The only common denominator is that I did the upgrade to 1.9.4.3 "Faanui" and all the pages and blog post prior to the upgrade post to Facebook just fine using the Socialbookmarking plugin and all the new content created afterwards will not?

I know that seems odd, but that's the only thing that has happened since they stopped working on the new post?

That being said, If i select the URL directly from the address bar and try to post it directly into Facebook the same post also do not post and the older ones will. So I am at a total loss right now and can't figure out what it is?


Anyone else having a similar problem or can give me an idea of a direction to start checking that i might not have looked at yet ?

check the html output for the old and new urls with your browsers firebug equiv and verify that the open graph tags created by the module are exactly the same. they should be. if they are not that is your problem. possibly a bug/conflict between module and newer version of cmsms. has that module been updated since 1.9.4.3 or right before? if not submit bug report to module maintainer through the forge. if somewhat stale see if same functionality can be achieved with cg fbapp his stuff is up to date. if og tags are the same are file permissions for the old and new pages the same? they should be but i've managed to mess up my own permissions before. you can also add the tags yourself. the module probably just automates the process in some way.
