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.

  • I'm not sure it is possible. You can change it to other facebook defaults though - wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Fb:login-button Commented May 21, 2009 at 22:04
  • Thank you so much. The answer really was staring me in the face. Just made my own anchor tag with their js call and its perfect. Commented May 21, 2009 at 22:08

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.

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.
