Facebook like button in first post

[ROTPAR]

Hi, I would like to put the facebook like button on top of the first posting, so beneath the title or at the end of the first post instead of having it on top of the whole thread. How can I do that?

[ROTPAR]

nobody?

[ROTPAR]

ok, last try....can nobody hlep me out with this?

Hi ROTPAR - looks like a template edit to me. In SHOWTHREAD, find:

		<vb:if condition="$show['fb_likebutton']">
			{vb:raw fblikebutton}
		</vb:if>

And put it in postbit. You'll probably need a conditional for post # in thread == 1, otherwise it'll show in/under every post

Hi there, thank you What do you mean with the condition? What do I have to write? Thanks a lot

Hmm, this may sort of be like the blind leading the blind, but let me give it a shot

Try this in postbit_legacy and let me know how it works:

<if condition="$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1">

<vb:if condition="$show['fb_likebutton']">
			{vb:raw fblikebutton}
		</vb:if>

</vb:if>

Within postbit_legacy, just search around for a good spot (like maybe after the infractions link?) Or maybe after this part:

				<vb:if condition="$post['title'] OR $show['messageicon']">
				<h2 class="title icon">
					<vb:if condition="$show['messageicon']"><img src="{vb:raw post.iconpath}" alt="{vb:raw post.icontitle}" /> </vb:if>{vb:raw post.title}
				</h2>
				</vb:if>

By the way, there is another conditional called <vb:if condition="$post['isfirstshown']">, but I think that's going to repeat for each page, so try the first one and let me know if that works okay

[ROTPAR]

<if condition="$post[postcount] % $vboptions[maxposts] == 1">

<vb:if condition="$show['fb_likebutton']">
{vb:raw fblikebutton}
</vb:if>

</vb:if>

THX After placing this code in postbit_legacy vbulletin tells me that the code is not ok... can'T translate it. Any ideas?

[findingpeace]

Hmm, can you try this instead:

<vb:if condition="$post['isfirstshown']">

<vb:if condition="$show['fb_likebutton']">
{vb:raw fblikebutton}
</vb:if>

</vb:if>

This will show on the first post of each page, but I'm sure we can figure out a way to ensure only page 1 I just want to make sure it's the conditional breaking, not anything else. So let me know if that works!

If it doesn't, we may need to register fblikebutton to postbit_legacy, in which case you're going to want the help of someone who understands hooks

To get it on the first port, I tried this:
http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...b-like-button?

but placing the likebutton code in there, shows just nothing

the problem seems to be this code:

<vb:if condition="$show['fb_likebutton']">
{vb:raw fblikebutton}
</vb:if>

This code does not work in postbit_legacy....how could I get it to work there?

Unless you write a plugin to register the variable $fblikebutton to the template postbit_legacy, it isn't going to spit anything out.
