Facebook Likes not working

[Bob_R]

The Facebook likes (and even the Publish to Facebook) doesn't work on my vbulletin site.

Suggestions? Please advise. Thanks!!

[Zachery]

Is your site able to be access by guests?

Yes.

Publish to Facebook is a known bug. From a search:

Freddie suggest this fix and it worked for me-

Download the facebook SDK from https://github.com/facebook/facebook-php-sdk

Upload the three files from \src to your \includes\facebook directory.

[Bob_R]

Still not working Lynne.

Used both the Like button and Publish to Facebook not more than 5 minutes ago.

If it's still not working, then you will need to wait for the bugs to be fixed as I have no other solutions to offer. (Unless it is due to a modification, in which case you need to use a totally default style and no modifications and see if it still doesn't work and if not, then wait for the bug to be fixed.)

Unless you are testing in Internet Explorer all the suggestions given should have worked.

Internet Explorer requires additional custom patches.

However, I believe in October unless vb updates their code it might stop working again due to Facebook api changes.

[Bob_R]

Not using IE. Haven't in years. Not working.

Any other suggestions?

FYI: I use Firefox.

Also, doesn't seem to have worked. I liked something and do not see the like of FB.

[Zachery]

I just liked a thread, waiting for it to showup. Despite facebooks best effort, not everything is instant.

[tbworld]

I took a quick look at your page, and you do have a few JavaScript errors you might want to fix. May not have anything to do with your Facebook problems since @Zachery says he was able to like a thread. Later I will try to take a look at your JavaScript errors and see if I can help you pinpoint them.

I assume it didn't show? Because mine didn't.

Thanks. I would appreciate that!! :up:

Facebook has been acting up for me pretty badly for the last 48 hours, not sure what is going on.

[Bob_R]

What a shame that Facebook doesn't work (any more) with vBulletin.

I don't get the error message part that you get. Mine simply does not work at all. The Publish to Facebook and the Like button does nothing. As if it's not even there. :(

[tbworld]

I will check Facebook on v4.2.1 tomorrow, as I am updating my daughters board due to the fixes in activity stream. Facebook should work on v4.2.1 at least till the API changes. I have reviewed all the changed code in v4.2.1, there is no reason it should not work. Facebook does seem to be a bit laggy these days.

Once again:
1.) if you run a private board and want facebook... See my entry in JIRA, vb politely gave us a quick fix.
2.) Update the SDK from facebook... See this thread for details. (If you do not, it will not work!)
3.) Enable Facebook and setup your account correctly in admincp. (I added this just in case).
4.) JavaScript errors interfere with the Facebook JavaScript. (Nobody ever checks their boards for this one.)
5.) Internet Explorer will not work unless you patch the Facebook JavaScript yourself.

I hope this helps.

@Bob, check for JavaScript errors on your board.

How do I do that? Thanks.

[tbworld]

How do I do that? Thanks.

Use your browser's developer mode. I would suggest Goggling it for your browser.
You will have to play around a bit, but it's well worth your time. Look for console errors or javascript errors.

Just remembered that I checked your site and you have a few JavaScript errors. I will check again in about an hour and try to give you a hand where to look. (Pizza just arrived!)

@Bob, your JavaScript is a mess. Turn off your plugins and hooks and re-try Facebook on the default skin. If you have modified the SDK, I bet Facebook will work.

On threads, the facebook like button does show.

ERRORS: on your showthread... using firefox.

[Bob_R]

OK, tbworld. I uploaded the two images and took out the sharethis stuff.

Liked something on site --> www.talkclassicrock.com/forums and now just waiting for FB. Nothing yet.

[Bob_R]

Nope. Doesn't work AT ALL.

[Bob_R]

Can't believe it wasn't fixed with the 4.2.2 upgrade.

[bennzy]

I could understand the facebook button not working in the latest IE but the liking and posting onto facebook still having issues is just annoying and there seems to be not much help out there to fix it unfortunately.

[Bob_R]

Is this ever going to be fixed?????????
