Facebook Likes not working

[tbworld]

I will check Facebook on v4.2.1 tomorrow, as I am updating my daughters board due to the fixes in activity stream. Facebook should work on v4.2.1 at least till the API changes. I have reviewed all the changed code in v4.2.1, there is no reason it should not work. Facebook does seem to be a bit laggy these days.

Once again:
1.) if you run a private board and want facebook... See my entry in JIRA, vb politely gave us a quick fix.
2.) Update the SDK from facebook... See this thread for details. (If you do not, it will not work!)
3.) Enable Facebook and setup your account correctly in admincp. (I added this just in case).
4.) JavaScript errors interfere with the Facebook JavaScript. (Nobody ever checks their boards for this one.)
5.) Internet Explorer will not work unless you patch the Facebook JavaScript yourself.

I hope this helps.

@Bob, check for JavaScript errors on your board.

@Bob, check for JavaScript errors on your board.

How do I do that? Thanks.

Use your browser's developer mode. I would suggest Goggling it for your browser.
You will have to play around a bit, but it's well worth your time. Look for console errors or javascript errors.

Just remembered that I checked your site and you have a few JavaScript errors. I will check again in about an hour and try to give you a hand where to look. (Pizza just arrived!)

@Bob, your JavaScript is a mess. Turn off your plugins and hooks and re-try Facebook on the default skin. If you have modified the SDK, I bet Facebook will work.

On threads, the facebook like button does show.

ERRORS: on your showthread... using firefox.

OK, tbworld. I uploaded the two images and took out the sharethis stuff.

Liked something on site --> www.talkclassicrock.com/forums and now just waiting for FB. Nothing yet.

[Bob_R]

Nope. Doesn't work AT ALL.

Can't believe it wasn't fixed with the 4.2.2 upgrade.

I could understand the facebook button not working in the latest IE but the liking and posting onto facebook still having issues is just annoying and there seems to be not much help out there to fix it unfortunately.

Is this ever going to be fixed?????????
