Facebook screws up Post URL

[danieler]

Hi!

A plain copy&paste of a post URL onto Facebook leads to the following:

An URL like this:
http://rampaz.de/blog/index.php?/archiv ... njura.html

Will be modified by Facebook like this:
http://rampaz.de/blog/index.php?%2Farch ... njura.html

A click on it will get to the top of the blog and NOT to the post. Is there a solution to that?

Thanks, Daniele

Hi!

Hm, sadly it seems that facebook encodes the "/" in the URL, which leads to s9y not being able to interpret is a permalink. I'm not so familiar with the facebook URL ruling, but maybe their technical support could sched a light; the proper s9y URL is valid, so they should not rewrite it?

Another solution would be that you link to your articles like that:

http://rampaz.de/blog/index.php?serendipity[id]=44

Or, a second way, to try to turn on the Blog's URL Rewriting (s9y options); most servers support Apache Errorhandling as URL rewriting method. This would create a "pretty" url without the "?" in the URL.

HTH,
