I know its designed for a widget but i installed your twitter mod fine as a forum block and just tried this

BUT it says "There was an error fetching the like box for the specified page."

Any chance you know how to fix this ?

many thanks

It's a problem with the code. Try this one:

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: vbcms_widget_facebooktwitter -->
<iframe scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowtransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:300px; height:395px;" src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com/PUT HERE YOUR FACEBOOK PAGE NAME HERE&amp;width=300&amp;height=395&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;show_f aces=false&amp;border_color=%233378B0&amp;stream=true&amp;head er=false"></iframe>
<!-- END TEMPLATE: vbcms_widget_facebooktwitter -->

There was an error fetching the like box for the specified page.

I have a question for you, can the widget color be customized? background to be invisible?

[jancarlo]

Could not retrieve the specified page. Please verify correct href was passed in.

I have a dark skin forum and the text is to dark. Is there away to change the font color, and if so how?

[tbworld]

Your questions is unclear to the text you are referring to. The text within the widget (the facebook content) or text on the widget container? A picture or a link to your site would be helpful.


General Stylevar Information - May or may not be helpful to your question.
The correct and easiest way to change the colors is via vbulletin's stylevars. I have listed some reference links below that should get you started.

Sorry...I am talking about the facebook text in the widget. It looks ok on a light skin website, but hard to read on a dark one.

Try:

In the widget HTML change the property "colorscheme=light" to "colorscheme=dark".

Hi again, I am having trouble but I do not think its your widgets fault at all. I have also tried the Facebook! Mod Version: 2.6.2 and the same thing happens. I install the product or the widget for facebook and it works great for a few minutes and then it disappears.
Does anybody think it could be my server blocking it or facebook possibly? Is that even possible?

One last question. When members come to my website that do not have facebook, all they see is a blank widget. I also see a blank widget when I am not logged into facebook. Is there a fix?
