Facebook share count issue resloved URL
Permalink Browser Info Environment
I was finding that the social share button count for facebook was stuck on 1.1k
As much as i like to dream that just wasn't the right count.
The actual url used in facebook button share was of the raw "index.php?cid=" variety.
I think it should be changed to the real url as facebook likes natural url or encoded urls. So on skybluesofa_social_share/view.php line 249 i changed this:
to:
NB '$sbsss_pageURL' is set n the controller
Now the count works ok and the shared url is the pretty one
