Show Thread Enhancements - Add New Facebook "Like" button to your threads

Please remember to click Mark as Installed if you use this modification.

Facebook has just launched their latest "Like" button to developers to use on any site. What this does is utilizes the Advertising module to add the "Like" button to the first post of each thread. Please see screenshots to get an idea.

In your Admin CP go to Advertising > New Ad > Choose "Thread" from the dropdown and then select the first thread box. Give it a title (I called mine FB Like) leave "First Post Content" at default and paste in this code:

<!-- Facebook Like -->
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.YOURSITE.com/{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}, {vb:raw pageinfo_post}}#post{vb:raw post.postid}&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:px"></iframe>
<!-- / Facebook Like -->

Be sure to change YOURSITE.com to your URL including your forum.

The VBSEO team has instructions on how to make this work for their product here http://www.vbseo.com/f2/facebook-lik...95/#post265997

===========================================
Option 2 (different from above, do not use together) will show at top, see screenshot #3

In Postbit (or legacy) find:

{vb:raw ad_location.thread_first_post_content}

Add this after:

<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) AND ($post[postcount] == '1')"
<!-- Facebook Like -->
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.YOURSITE.com/{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}}&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;font=tahoma&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:75px"></iframe>
<!-- / Facebook Like -->
</vb:if>

For additional information on this button and different parameters please visit http://developers.facebook.com/docs/...e/plugins/like

=================================================

For those who have asked, here is the modification adds both the "Like" button and comments to a users profile https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=239424

=================================================
Additional locations to place this code:

For CMS, in vbcms_content_article_page add the code below this:

{vb:raw comment_block}

For pictures, in template album_pictureview add the code below this:

{vb:raw picturecomment_commentarea}

For Blog, in template blog_show_entry add at the very top.

Great Mod.

Is it possible to have this shown on every post ( not just post #1 in a thread) ?

Cheers

[ttran]

Could it be "Like" in every post like mod "Thanks" guys?

I'm having an issue with this, in that it duplicates showthread.php when it posts to facebook (resulting in an incorrect link, and incorrect page info on the like)... i.e. it links to this:

DOMAIN.com/showthread.php/showthread.php/4465

instead of

DOMAIN.com/showthread.php/4465

Anyone have any idea why this is happening?

Good mod

Any way to add the Send button to this code, as shown here?

I tried with no success. I see a template mod here with the Send button, I just can't see how to merge the code:

Don't know whats happen but i get this error? it is showing 2 url when posting link?

The page at

http://www.blackops-squad.com/forums/http://www.blackops-squad.com/forums/showthread.php?3014-Three-toed-sloth-crossing-the-road-I-believe-I-can-fly-remix

could not be reached.

And now I can,t get in to edit my ads?

[neetusn]

when i like any thread in the forum, my facebook wall displays only thread link, but i need to display thread title.

[MagicThemeParks]

Option 2 has a missing bracket in the conditional code

Should be....

<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) AND ($post[postcount] == '1')">

[oldfan]

How would I align this to the right of the thread title, instead of underneath it?

thanks
