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.

when I try to share a link on Facebook it cant be read. I dig into other vbulletin sites that use zoints seo and the problem is same. When I deactivate zoints seo its alright but I must not deactivate it. I cant understand the problem with zoints seo

The code was missing something, View the "red" part

Works Nice i changed it cause the Thread part wasn't working

i changed to this instead

Quote:

showthread.php$session[sessionurl]?p=$post[postid]&show_faces=false&amp

Thanks!

As I said, nice addon!

But I wonder about the long loading time. Is it possible to make it faster?
You can see the addon here on my website and it takes so much time to load..

MissKalunji · #25 06-15-2010, 12:23 PM

are you positive it's not something else causing this?

cause it loads fine for me?

jakobility · #26 06-15-2010, 12:40 PM

Okay, now it loads fine.

So probably it was because of the cookies ect..
After removing it, it works well!

Thank you very much!

Noli · #27 06-15-2010, 06:49 PM

is it just me or is the create app page down?

After installing this addon, I have problems with like button.
By the button it shows me an red error. If I click on it, there comes a popup from facebook with the following message (translated from german):

You have to set a ?href?-attribute for the inlineframe. For example <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Ffoo%2Fbar .html"></iframe>

Is there anything wrong in the configuration at facebook.com/developers or do I have to change the code in my website?

My configurations on facebook:
Canvas Callback URL
http://tablet-faq.de/
Connect URL
http://tablet-faq.de/
Base Domain
tablet-faq.de
Canvas URL
http://apps.facebook.com/tablet-faq/
FBML/iframe
iframe
Developer Mode
Off
Application Type
Website
Private Install
No

I think this addon already has the LIKE integrated by the way

(Yes, you can place it ANYWHERE! I chose the ad template because it's closer to the reply button xD)

I cannot place it anywhere... I tried it and the code will not work properly... the post that will be posted on FB with the link of the thread that you "Like" will becomes an error if I put it in other places like ad_showthread_firstpost_sig and ad_showthread_firstpost_start

so is it really possible to place it on another location? because currently the location of the Like button is kinda messed up.... here's a screenshot http://i49.tinypic.com/2a9cq4h.jpg

its kinda floating between the first post and the new reply botton which is kinda annoying... is there a way to put it besides the edit button or the thanks button so its more cleaner and pleasant to look at

I hope someone can help me
