Embedding Socialcast Reach Extensions in Salesforce via a Visualforce page (2036573)

Cause

Visualforce pages are IFrames within Salesforce.com. When embedding a Socialcast Reach discussion extension in such a page, the code detects the information of the Visualforce frame and not the containing page that loaded it.

This article provides information on embedding Socialcast Reach Extensions in Salesforce via a Visualforce page.

Resolution

To allow discussion extensions to operate correctly in a Salesforce.com instance, the Open Graph Protocol markup must be used with the extension, so that the correct parameters from the parent page are passed to the extension.

For example, to embed a discussion extension stream in a Visualforce page which is loaded for Opportunities, you can use a code similar to:

<apex:page standardController="Opportunity">
     <html prefix="og: http://ogp.me/ns#">
     <meta property="og:title" content="Opportunity [{!Opportunity.Account.Name}] - {!Opportunity.Name}" />
     <meta property="og:description" content="{!Opportunity.Description}" />
     <meta property="og:url" content="https://salesforce-instance-url/{!Opportunity.id}" />
     <body>
     <div id="socialcast_reach" style="height: 500px; width: 500px;"></div>
     <script type="text/javascript">
     var _reach = _reach || [];
     _reach.push({
     container: 'socialcast_reach',
     domain: 'https://your-community-url/',
     token: '37c69e64f215331cc4a2'
     });
     (function(){
     var e=document.createElement('script'); e.type='text/javascript'; e.async = true;
     e.src= document.location.protocol + '//your-community-url/services/reach/extension.js';
     var s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(e, s);
     })();
     </script>
     </body>
     </html>
     </apex:page>
