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.

Correct. The only one that I found for 3.8.x was the one made by hubie but people were reporting it didn't work in IE and the "comment" box would not appear.

That's probably why Brandon mentioned the other 2.

You could make it fewer edits required if you popped $vboptions[bbtitle] instead of YOURSITENAME.

kall, does yours work in 3.8x? Looks like it's for vB4.

Thanks Xtrigit, gonna try this one out this weekend!

Hi, I would like to finish the installation as your mod seems to be working well.

However I have problems with the position of the button. I put it into postbit_legacy under >!-- controls -->, and it's somewhere in the middle of that bit. I couldn't find a way how to change it (except for an align=left), and it seems that the class is coming from FB directly (as far as I understand...).

Here is what it looks like:

Attachment 117718

This is what it should look like:

Attachment 117719

And there is obviously a problem with the comment field which is not working properly:

Attachment 117720

Any help is much appreciated, really. Thanks a lot!

Yep, there's a 3.8.x version as well.

RvG2 · #17 06-04-2010, 05:07 PM

Worked with 3.8.x

IS there a way to NOT show the icons (or faces) of the people who clicked?

Replace the last code edit with this:

PHP Code:


			
<fb:like href="$vboptions[bburl]/showthread.php$session[sessionurl]?t=$threadid" show_faces="false" width="500"></fb:like>

Daisyboo · #20 06-07-2010, 08:12 PM

Is there any way to stop it showing in sensitive areas of the board?

jakobility · #21 06-12-2010, 10:06 PM

thanks, great addon!
