Facebook Connect query about customizing the share-button
Question
I really hate asking about Facebook Connect on SO, but their own development forums are horrendous.
We're implementing a Facebook share button using this:
<fb:share-button class="url" href="http://oursite.com/"></fb:shared-button>
This is documented(poorly) here: http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Fb:share-button
I need to be able to change the text from "Share" to something else. I've spent 2 hours looking for an answer to this and have come up short.
Solution
With the replacement like social plugin (the one you should be using now instead of the deprecated fb:share-button), you have two choices for the button text: Like
or Recommend
.

OTHER TIPS
If you really want to customize the facebook share button, look at the url you would use for a desktop app. Makes it much better. You can also use AddThis the same way to get some analytics from the share.
