Facebook/Twitter Like Button Customization - El Forum - 12-19-2010

[eluser]iloveci[/eluser]
Hello,

I setup FB/Twitter like buttons, the simple copy+paste html versions and it works fine however the messages posted on twitter/fb don't contain the exact info I want inside it.

It currently posts the page title & some jibberish/image, but I want it to post product name / some product info. So I'm wondering is there a way to customize the simple version of these buttons or will I have to signup for a developer API for both services in order to customize these messages? And if so are there any suggested CI libraries for this?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry to post & solve my own problem but I figured by posting the solution it may help others in the future ( if they are as blind as me ). I completed skipped/missed the fb meta-tags which I was able to generate & use for this, Twitter had a few similar tags which I was also able to use.
