This tiny mod is ruining my day yesterday and is about to do it again today. Awwww

I?d set it up using the fb-ID of my fan-page. even when it?s been written here, it?s designed to work only with fb-groups. Worked pretty good at first for 2 or 3 times and brought immediatly ~50 new likers. But since then the pop-up is empty each time. Regardless which browser, IP or machine, logged in to facebook or not.

Anyone an idea?

I have not looked into this modification to see what it is doing, but you might be running into the following problem if the application is not properly caching it's contents. Many developer are unaware that this is a change in the FaceBook API.

Ummh...most likely. That?s bad news. Thx, for pointing me to this one.

Now, I?m wondering how the big game-kind sites utilize this. Never experienced a blank facebook pop-up on their sites. So I guess there must be some code out there, which works them around that ugly problem.

Okay, folks. I guess someone is already having a knowing grin in his face.
C?mon, who ever you are and where you might be. Don?t be a dirtbag and spit it out, almighty

To whom it may concern:

After giving facebook the chance to lift the api-siteban tbworld mentioned yesterday and we´d obviously won, today we did another attempt. This time we have packed the code into a vb:if statement and restricted the audience to only members.

Until now, it works. But we guess, as soon as the members are coming from work and the traffic pitch goes up, we´ll be caught in the facebook-throttle again.

But an imprtant sidenote: it seems, that this plugin needs a logged-in facebook status - else it won´t show anything and will come up with a blank layer. That will divert more users as it will attract, depending on your visitors. Mine are grown ones >30yrs and significnatly older. A lot of them don´t use facebook or at least they aren´t logged in all the time.

If this is true, than we would need a rework of this mod, checking the logged in status in facebook, that avoids te blank layer to come up, if no facebook-login=true is detected.

Guess that´s the only way this mod could avoid becoming a negative sidenote of your sites. You know how quick users are to jump a trolling train :/

Hi Siva, I have three questions...

1. Can this be places into a product.xml file so it can be added as a plugin?
2. How can we get this to work on the mobile style as well?
3. Does this remember that a person has liked the forum? If so for how long? 30 days, etc?
4. How do I make the domain urls relative so that this can be viewed in https (secure) form as well? Don't want unsecure warnings...
