The Open Graph protocol enables any web page to become a rich object in a social graph. For instance, this is used on Facebook to enable any web page to have the same functionality as a Facebook Page.

Quote:

Basic metadata
To turn your web pages into graph objects, you need to add basic metadata to your page. We've based the initial version of the protocol on RDFa which means that you'll place additional <meta> tags in the <head> of your web page. The four required properties for every page are:

og:title - The title of your object as it should appear within the graph, e.g., "The Rock".
og:type - The type of your object, e.g., "movie". Depending on the type you specify, other properties may also be required.
og:image - An image URL which should represent your object within the graph.
og:url - The canonical URL of your object that will be used as its permanent ID in the graph, e.g., "http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117500/".

This modification will add these tags to all pages, and the <og:title> attribute to your SHOWTHREAD pages (for the moment.. additional Pages to be added soon), along with the Facebook 'Like Button' under the Thread Title (as we are supposed to put the Like button next to the thing the person is Liking).

Install Instructions:
AdminCP - Plugins & Products - Manage Products - [Add/Import Product] , browse to the location of the .xml file you downloaded from this thread, Import it.
Template Modifications
In SHOWTHREAD, find:

PHP Code:


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

Replace with:

PHP Code:


			
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <if condition="$vboptions['ogfb_onoff']">xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml" xmlns:og="http://opengraphprotocol.org/schema/" </if>dir="$stylevar[textdirection]"

Find:

PHP Code:


			
$headinclude

Add under:

PHP Code:


			
$ogfb_metadata

Wherever you want to add the Like Button, add

PHP Code:


			
$ogfb_like_showthread

Configuration Instructions
AdminCP - Settings - Options - Opengraph/Facebook Integration
Global On/Off - Set to Yes to turn the system on.
FB - Page Admins - A comma-separated list of the Facebook IDs of the Admins of your pages on Facebook.
FB - App ID - The application ID of your Facebook Application.
OG - Site Name - A short, human-readable name for your site that will appear in the Like on the User's Facebook Activity Stream.

It is important to fill in these, as they are used by FB to fill in some of the information, and allows your pages (Showthread at the moment) to be referenced in the Open Graph.

What's Next?
This is an early beta release to gauge the interest in Open Graph/Facebook type stuff.
I intend to add the tags to other pages, and implement some of the other Facebook Social Plugins. These will all be On/Off configurable. Some can be seen in action at:

This stopped working when I tried to isntall the vb nexius mod

I've removed both, re-added this mod and nothing is showing in the postbit.
I'll see if I can look deeper, maybe something from the nexius mad is stalling things..
I'm bummed, it was looking great too

Are you still using some form of Connect?

well I wasn't, your mod was working great and then I tried adding the nexius mod that IB_username (I don't remember his name, but it's the IB guy that's posted a few mods) and your mod stopped working. So I removed the nexius mod, removed all files and your mod still doesn't work

I've since removed the opengraph mod, and tried adding it back late last night.. still not working

I'm guessing there is something leftover from the nexius mod

your mod doesn't even show ATM if I place it in the showthread template like designed.

I tried your mod and it's working for me, thanks a lot. However it is showing a white rectangle around the button and my forum is dark. Is there any chance to adapt the look and colors etc. of the rectangle? Thanks a lot!

Sure is.

In template ogfb_like_showthread, change the following div properties to suit.

Awesome, thanks for the quick reply!

I've downloaded this, tried it, got it working ok and experimented with moving the like button around, however the place I'd like it ideally is one of these two positions in the attached pics (blue cross marked) the first one is my preference... any ideas at all please?

You could try adding $ogfb_like_showthread before the following in SHOWTHREAD:

PHP Code:


			
$pagenav</td></if>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- / controls above postbits -->

Is there any chance to exclude the button from private forums?
