What does this do?

Ok this mod adds facebook fanbox to your forum home page. Expand and collapses.

Takes 2 minutes to do code edits.

1 template file to edit.
0 to upload

You must have a facebook account, and can get their widget from here:

Just goto http://www.facebook.com/pages/create.php

Please read the instructions CAREFULLY

I will NOT assist those who do not mark this as Installed.
Other sites copying VB.org Modifications including ours, do not hotlink our files ! Do not reproduce this modification unless you credit Me and VB.org as the source publisher.

Special thanks to Cellarius for his Collapsible Boxes Tutorial

Looks good, just don't know how my users will feel if their pictures are randomly shown on my site...It would be cool just to have a thing telling how many fans there are and to have a fan button :P But I'm sure I can figure out how to do that.

Good work :)

[ijob]

quick question b4 I install. Can this be used to target other 'groups' of people belonging a particular 'network'?

[TimberFloorAu]

No idea. Check the code over at developers corner Facebook

[Magz]

Looking good, installed without hitch.

[TimberFloorAu]

I would image that you would just duplicate for another account...

[iguano]

Installed thanks but in the lateral block, is better for me.:up:

[abdobasha2004]

very nice
better than the java script

[GrossKopf]

The link in your instructions are wrong to create the Fan box. The correct link is http://www.facebook.com/facebook-widgets/fanbox.php

[AdamFL]

Thank you ! :)

[TimberFloorAu]

Havent tested but try:

Adding <cente> tags as below


<!-- This is the content for fan box from FACEBOOK-->
<center>
<!--facebook script content goes here see readme -->
</center>
<!-- End content from facebook FAN BOX-->

[Zaiaku]

If I had more members using facebook this would be installing this now. I'll get this tagged so I could use it later, Great Work!

[TimberFloorAu]

Personally I cannot stand facebook.
I dont actually have this product/mod installed.

But hundreds of our members think Facebook is the bees knees... I am in the minority lol

[tunerclub.net]

it may just be me... but i cant find in the readme where it says to put the code in the actual file

[tunerclub.net]

ok, i figured it out...

is there a way to make it collapsed by default?

[TimberFloorAu]

Click Install ;)

By Cellarius:

Collapsed as default? Yes, but...

There is a way default the box to be collapsed by default. But this it's quick and dirty, and really not recommended to use. Basically, you have to add display:none to the style of the collapsing container, like so:

Code:

<div class="blockrow" id="cel_dummy" style="display: none;">

Now, there are two major drawbacks:

* any user with javascript disabled will not be able to open the box, and the box will show the wrong icon.
* vB at this point only saves information on closed boxes to a cookie; so if you reload the page, the box will always be closed, because vB will not remember that it has been opened.

cheers mate!!! thank you ;)

[COL NIL SATIS]

Is there a way to have more than 32 members in the box.... i changed the 32 to 48 but the 48 dont fit in the box??? any ideas...how to make the box bigger or longer lol

[TimberFloorAu]

Nope sorry.

[COL NIL SATIS]

No problem!!!! thanks for the reply though

[COL NIL SATIS]

anyone know how too have say 50 members in the box????

[TimberFloorAu]

Perhaps contact Facebook API developers. There code is limiting the number of "friends" I would imagine because the script fires multiple requests, and they deem 32 as their limit

[COL NIL SATIS]

Ahh right ok mate..i will try that ..cheers

[COL NIL SATIS]

my page has gone??? any ideas...anyone else having issues

[nekiw]

how can I implement it in a forumblock on right side? please let me know

[TimberFloorAu]

I would imagine, not having created forum blocks.

Create new forum block, title it Facebook Fanbox

Then add the html from facebook ( you will not need our code ) And size the fanbox according to your forum block.

Pretty simple stuff I think Nekiw, but do some investigating first

[Boosted Panda]

The widget is super easy. Just copy and paste the code into the widget and adjust the size.

[TimberFloorAu]

Cheers Matt

The link in your instructions are wrong to create the Fan box. The correct link is http://www.facebook.com/facebook-widgets/fanbox.php

Please update this in the instructions :D

[crazyace]

Any way to make it fluid? Also any way to make it line up with the collapse bar above it?

[nekiw]

thank you for replies, but I dont understand where to make new forum blocks.
when I goto forum blocks manager all that I can add is preset blocks.
I cant find anywhere to add my own code.

[TimberFloorAu]

1. thanks for the link update.

2. no it cannot be made fluid.

3. see attached image. Goto forums and Moderators, add new forum block, choose vbblock.blocktype_html

See image below

[Shanti Nanda]

<font color="DarkOrchid">Now that page just show a "Like Box", no a "Fan Box"... I tried to find the Fan Box now, as It shows on the fist post, but nothing... and I tried to use the codes for that Like Box but didn't work, so maybe we need a update.</font>

[wierdo124]

Mine won't work. The code that you say is there, isn't there on my style i guess. Using Brave.

[CapitanoN6]

is possible made this for user page and when you click you become friend and not "like" ????

I made it & it works great on top like originally planned, but i made one for the sidebar/block but there is this red x error image box showing that doesn't show on top of forums.
"{vb:rawphrase latest_bets}"
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachment.php?attachmentid=129291&d=1305871110
Can i just remove some of the code, or will that screw up the connection.?

> Also is there any way to shift it over so i can add another row of pics, or center it so it doesn't seem off to one side.?


Thanks
:D



*edit*
I removed this part of the code & it appears to be fine, but... is it going to cause issues.?

<a class="collapse" id="collapse_cel_dummy" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse{vb:raw vbcollapse.collapseimg_cel_dummy_img}_40b.png" alt="{vb:rawphrase latest_bets}" /></a>

[red-dna]

Thanks TimberFloorAu for the great idea and the help
