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 :

<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:

<!--- 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 :
