Add "LIKE" button and other Facebook plugins to threads. · **Released**: 05-25-2010

UPDATED: 7/4/10

What's new?
Facebook Comment Box

I recently added the new facebook "Like" button to my forum and I want to share with everyone!

Yes, this is IE,Firefox, Opera, Safari compatible.
Yes, this will also show a "comment" box when hover over.

First thing's first:

1. Go to http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php (Facebook account required)

2. Enter your site name in the "Application Name" field... "agree" - "Create new app"

3. Click the Website tab

4: Enter your site URL in the "Connect URL" field.

i.e. http://www.DOMAIN.com/ (Don't forget the SLASH).

5. Enter DOMAIN.com in the "Base Domain" field and save.

6. In the next page you will see an "Application ID" number. (you'll need it later... keep the window open for now)

Template Edits:

headinclude:
Under:

PHP Code:


			
<meta name="generator" content="vBulletin $vboptions[templateversion]" />

Paste:

PHP Code:


			
<meta property="og:title" content="$threadinfo[title]"/>

<meta property="og:site_name" content="$vboptions[bbtitle]"/>

<meta property="og:type" content="website" />

<meta property="og:image" content="IMAGEPATH"/>

<meta property="fb:admins" content="YOUR PROFILE ID"/>

* Replace IMAGEPATH with the actual path to the image you want to be displayed on people's facebook wall. (You can use your site logo)
*YOUR PROFILE ID = http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=randomnumbers

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++

SHOWTHREAD
Find:

PHP Code:


			
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" dir="$stylevar[textdirection]" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" lang="$stylevar[languagecode]">

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ++++++

under:

PHP Code:


			
<body onload="$onload">

Paste:

PHP Code:


			
<div id="fb-root"></div>

<script src="/images/fb.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

*Download and open the attached .js file, Replace "APP ID" with your actual app ID. (not to be confused with profile ID)
*Save and upload fb.js to root/images
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++

Find:

PHP Code:


			
<!-- / multiquote scripts -->

</if>

Add below:

PHP Code:


			
<!-- Facebook Comment --> 

<br /> 

<if condition="in_array($bbuserinfo[usergroupid],array(1))"><div align="center">

<fb:comments numposts="3" width="800"></fb:comments>

</div></if>

<!-- / Facebook Comment -->

*This will place the Facebook Comment box below the last post, you may change the width to your liking.
*The comment box will only be shown to guests.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Now we need to place the "LIKE" button somewhere visible.

I use postbit_legacy so, this is what I did:
Find:

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="$post['title']"><strong>$post[title]</strong></if>

            </div>

Add below:

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="$post[postcount] == 1"><table style="background-color: #ff0000;">

<tr style="background-color: yellow;">

<td style="background-color: #fff;" align="right"><fb:like href="$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php$session[sessionurl]?p=$post[postid]" width="260"></fb:like></td>

</tr>

</table></if>

* This will place the like button below the first post of every thread.
* you may change the table color to suit your needs.

So, you want your facebook profile (and the facebook profiles of your members) to possibly have thousands of entries under the 'Pages I like'? Each one powering a tiny bit of link juice back to an individual post?

Why?

Anyone else notice when they first open a thread, the box for the Like button opens big and then goes small?

Doesnt work with Zoints SEO when you have the URL re-write enabled. Does ANYBODY have a solution to this problem so both can work in harmony

I did the fix and everything, but still getting errors in IE. I have Addthis and the social bookmarks on the footer, so that will just have to do.

Uninstalling this one. I don't think the mod is bad, just Facebook having issues.

the comments not showing on the threads

I followed all the instructions and nothing happened at all on my board. What am I missing?

Thanks a lot

Ran fine for a couple years until today. Seems facebook broke the fb.js script somehow, at least as far as all my users with IE are concerned.
