I see you have the like button on every post- does it link back to the whole thread or just the single post?

It links to the thread but adds the post as a qualifier at the end, for example:

http://www.car-seat.org/showthread.php?p=1464875

Also, if you Like a post, it only applies to that post and not any of the other posts in the thread. For that reason, I opted to make it more apparent rather than limit it to the first post.

Also, the comment box appeared to be somehow tied to posts before I removed it. If I was in hybrid view and clicked on a post and left a comment in the box below the thread, I could not view the comments if I clicked the threaded link to another post in the thread. Given that it could be hard to find comments so that any questions would be unlikely to be answered, I decided to remove it. Plus, we allow unregistered members to post (via moderation) questions in some forums. For another forum format, it seems like it was a very nice way to allow visitors to leave a comment.

Oh, I do like how the opengraph image setting forces the Facebook Sharer app to use the forum logo, rather than a random image from the page. That was annoying some users when they posted photos and the sharer would grab them and slap them on FB.

I use this mod with a slight modification as my requirement is to show the LIKE button in front of the thread title for a selected forum instead of the individual post.

Managed this by adding the codes to display the like button in the threadbits template.

Complete the steps given up to editing the headerinclude template. After editing the headerinclude templete follow these instructions :

Template to edit : threadbits

Find :

Code:

<a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]t=$thread[threadid]$thread[highlight]" id="thread_title_$thread[realthreadid]"<if condition="$show['gotonewpost']"> style="font-weight:bold"</if>>$thread[threadtitle]</a>

Add below:

Code:

<!--- facebook Like button ------->

<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid]==xxx">

<span id="fb-root"></span>

<script src="/images/fb.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

<fb:like href="$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php$session[sessionurl]?t=$thread[realthreadid]" width="260"></fb:like></if>

<if condition="$foruminfo[forumid]==xxx"> <-- this is to limit the button only to a selected forum. If you want it like that, replace xxx with the actual forum id.

Thats it.
It shows the FB Like button as follows :

This mod is not compatible with vbSEO. You will get an error every time. In order for the app to work, you must make coding changes which are available at vbSEO forums.

I just went live with this mod. I did end up limiting it to the first post. I didn't realize that first post wasn't ONLY the very first post, but at least in hybrid view, it is the first post on the page you are viewing even if it isn't the first post in the thread, which is nice. It worked fine on all posts, but the resizing could take a while on a long thread and was a little annoying. Anyone head about the facebook bug issue? Is it resolved or is there any other fix aside from the custom channel mod?

At least that's my logic.

Facebook plugins/like.php has been the top referrer (outside of search engines) for a few months now. Great mod!

I run the latest vbseo on 3.8.5 and this mod works fine for me-

Nevermind got it to work. I put the fb.js file in forum root instead of site root.

How can I change the font color of "Be the first of your friends to like this."
