Facebook link not well formatted

[Deleted user]

Hi,

I am trying to use your package in order to create a Facebook share button, but it seems that the link is not well formatted. Perhaps Facebook changed some of the previous functionalities. I tried with other services, like twitter, and it works fine. Could you take a look and see if there is a quick solution for this issue?

Best regards!

I will gladly help you if you give me the URL that you are trying to share.

Thanks for your quick reply :)

This is in my controller:

$share_link = Share::load('http://'.env('WEBSITE_URL').'/members/'.$user->id)->facebook();

This is the resulted string:

https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fhttp%3A%2F%2Fwpx-site.dev%2Fmembers%2F1125

As I said in my previous message, it works fine with Twitter. But not with Facebook. Facebook redirected to this URL:

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/return/close?error_code=100&error_message=href+is+not+properly+formatted#_=_

No error message given, but as I see it is a problem with the URL format.

`error_message=href+is+not+properly+formatted#=``

Do you have any idea why?

Thanks for your time! :)

Notice that http appears twice in the u variable. I think you will find that env('WEBSITE_URL') already includes http://, change your call to:

$share_link = Share::load(env('WEBSITE_URL').'/members/'.$user->id)->facebook();
