hi kall

thanks for the mod,
got it working :)

some questions about thumbnails:
For threads i like without commenting : profile shows likes
For threads i like with my comment : profile shows snippet of thread + thumbnail

the weird thing is for all the thumbnail that appears beside the like post that displays on facebook, it shows a thumbnail of an image that isn't in the page. i attached the screen shot.

i have no idea what VBCUSTOMPIXEL is

Is there a way i can set a permanent thumbnail image instead? if there is no way of determining a thumnail from the thread?

Thanks!


thanks

The image that FB displays comes from og:url .. I'm not sure where it pulls those weird non-existant images from, but it does that when the og:url is not defined.

I could really only define it for Member Profiles, otherwise I set it to whatever you have set for the titleimage stylevar.

(Regarding the private forums exclusion, yes.. you would just have to add the conditional to exclude it.)

Uhm, would it be too much to give me an idea how to do this...? Sorry... And thanks!

ceho, you could search on how to exclude based on certain conditionals.

Google search brought me an article over at vBulletinSetup.com here: http://forum.vbulletinsetup.com/f18/...list-2185.html

Good luck :up:

hi Kall

thanks for the reply
can you tell me very briefly where to set this url to use a single image instead?

thanks!!!

Find this in the ogfb_like_metadata template, and change the bit in the "" to whatever you want:

I am suddenly getting errors without having changed anything!!

When you click on the button it says "Be the first one to like: Error".

Erros is a link, when you click it a popup opens saying the page could not be reached. Pls. see screenshot.

Any ideas what that is, why it happens out of nowhere and how to fix it?

Thanks a lot!

Edit: OK, it looks this is a Firefox issue. It works on IE, Opera and Google Chrome!
Second edit: a user just reported it happend on IE as well :-(


@MagicThemeParks: thank you very much, I will give it a try once my problem as above is sloved ;-).

I'm thinking that the temporary error without changing anything scenario has to be at the FB end. A few people mention it over on the FB developers forums.

See if it comes right in an hour or 2. :)

Could you please instruct me on an example where to place the "$ogfb_like_showthread" code so it appears just as in your screen shot?

Also, whenever a user uses the feature to post it on their profile it automatically grabs an image off the thread. Can I control which image is posted, I don't wish for this part to be automatic. I'd like to inset my forum's logo.

Thanks

Installed this, it's the third Facebook Like hack I have tried and this one works better than the others, I have tweaked and played about as I always do and finally worked in a tidy placement of the Like button, top and bottom of thread, with correct alignment.
