Facebook Link content image
Finally! An automated way to tackle the wicked facebook share thumbnails! Works fantastic!

Well, I installed this plugin in my joomla 1.6.1, and what I get as the meta page description on EVERY page, is the information from the site footer. FOOTER! Same thing on every page. In other words it is not drawing text from the article at all, but from a random module, in the footer. I have no idea how that even works. But it is disastrous. Uninstalling.

Let me say that Metagenerator v2.0 for joomla 1.6 is still in Beta phase and bugs is expected to be found so you can go to my discussions group in order to get it working for you and all other users who can have the sample problem.

Content Slider Module
I would use this slider for its simplicity, however there is one crucial thing it doesn't do. It doesn't cut articles off at any point. If the article is long, it displays the whhhoooooleeee thing.
I can't use that. Real shame.

Otherwise, it's pretty neat and simple, and unlike many, keeps the original article formatting.
After days of trying out a sea of share plugins, I think I'm settling with this one. I love that I can use my own image instead of the default ones, and that I can easily apply my own css styling to it without having to hack its core file.

The only thing missing is a facebook "like" button, but that's a complaint for Add To Any. This plugin, as far as plugins go, is great. No complaints!

JConverter
This plugin is going to be useless until it figures out a way to tackle line breaks.

For some reason Wordpress doesn't save any or tags in its mysql tables.

Because of this, when JConverter moves content to Joomla, all the articles lose their basic formatting and become big unbroken lumps of text.

What am I supposed to do with that? Open each one manually and enter line breaks? It'll be easier to just copy paste them into a text editor manually, I don't need this plugin at all then.

Zn Facebook like
Installed it, it works well. There are truly loads of these "fb like" plugins going around, but this is the first so far that I've tried out which lets me put the like button inside the article (to the left or right) not only above or below. This suits my template better.
Tested the clicking, the link was correct on Facebook, I've seen plugins that couldn't figure out SEF, this is not one of them.

Nurte Facebook Like Button
I just tried this out and it's not bad, it works ok, but I have two complaints:

1) My site uses SEF (the plain native joomla 1.5 SEF). When I like an item from the article list (category view or front page) it shows up in my facebook feed linking to the non-SEF URL of the article (index.php?option=com_content&..etc).
If I like an item on the page of the item alone, it links correctly to the SEF URL.

2) As a consequence of the above problem: if I click to like an article while reading it in category view, the button takes the click and says "one person likes this". But if I open the article to "read more..." and view it alone, it thinks no one has liked it yet. It counts the article in the list and the article alone as two separate items.

That might be something to look into.

Otherwise, neat little plugin!
