    <p>How do I add "via my company name", company logo, and a link to my website to a Facebook share using AddThis buttons and Javascript</p> <p>I have a Ruby on Rails web application, and the user interface uses Javascript. Currently, I have working AddThis share buttons. The way my website works is, a user is presented an article from the internet and has the option to share it using the share buttons. The addthis:url is dynamically changed using the Javascript code <code>addthis.update( 'share', 'url', url )</code>, where url is the article's url.</p> <p>I went through some AddThis documentation, and found this:</p> <p><a href="https://www.addthis.com/help/url-and-title#.T0mk3XMmP6c" rel="nofollow">https://www.addthis.com/help/url-and-title#.T0mk3XMmP6c</a></p> <p>When I click on the Facebook share for any of the share buttons on that page, here is a screenshot:</p> <p><a href="http://imgur.com/d3oIC" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/d3oIC</a></p> <p>Here is how it looks like on my Facebook page:</p> <p><a href="http://imgur.com/28GP4" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/28GP4</a></p> <p>If I could just replace AddThis Sharing with my website's name and link, and keep the article data just like it is in the picture (obviously with the url, title, and description that I provide) that would be ideal. Does anyone know how AddThis was able to do that? Was it using Open Graph tags?</p> <p>I was unable to copy/paste the code on that page and achieve the same result, as it only used the addthis:url, not the title or description. Here is what that looks like:</p> <p><a href="http://imgur.com/MMN7C" rel="nofollow">http://imgur.com/MMN7C</a></p> <p>There must be something that is not obvious that would allow me to post the way I want to, and I know it is possible, since the AddThis website can do it.</p> <p>I am not sure if I can use Open Graph tags. The articles on my website are not static urls, so Facebook can't visit a specific page to grab the information it needs. The articles are loaded into the browser with Javascript, so the next one instantly comes up after rating one.</p> <p>Based on how my website works, and what I need to have working, does anyone think they can help me out? Also, it would be good to know if what I am asking for is absolutely not possible.</p> <pre><code>//If anyone can suggest another tool like AddThis which would work better for the needs and constraints I have, that would be greatly appreciated. </code></pre> <p>I now have Twitter, LinkedIn and email buttons working the way I want, and now all that is left is Facebook. I would really like the Facebook button to work with AddThis.</p>

    1. COdid you ever find a solution to this? I could really use some similar help you were looking for and was wondering if you'd be willing to follow up on this considering this was posted a year ago...

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
