Sitecore (sitecore social connector) - unable to customize content posted to facebook/twitter


I've recently installed the sitecore social connector module, and I've placed tweet and like buttons on a page, but I can't seem to control the content either sends to twitter/facebook. The tweet button sends the title of the page as the text to be tweeted, and I'd like to override this.

The facebook like link doesn't seem to do anything. If I go back to the same page, it still shows 1 like, but nothing has appeared on my facebook page.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • Apologies for the very late reply. I did not realise someone had asked me for a reply.

    In the end I found it easier to just use the standard Twitter/Facebook controls. I have since learned that while Sitecore has some useful modules for handling CMS operations, it is often easier on the Content Delivery side to just use whatever web technology is the easiest to implement.
