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.

I'm getting this error...

Code:

You must specify an "href" attribute to the iframe. Something like <iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fexample.com%2Ffoo%2Fbar.html"></iframe>

Thanks!

any help about this please

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

Installed but not working... I went to "like" a thread and I got asked for the comment, I added a comment and posted but got the dreaded red "Error" when I click on "Error" I get a page popup that says:
The page at could not be reached.
Facebook ©2010
Then when i reload the thread, OR ANY OTHER THREAD, it says that I like the thread already, and it says 3,398 other people like the same thing- impossible, I only have about 250 active users and 95% of them weren't online.
this is all in firefox...
in IE I get another popup error when I click "Like" I get:
An error occurred with Facebook Platform Opt In. Please try again later.
It also says 3,298 other people like it.

I've double checked the meta tags and my app id, all valid/correct. Any ideas?

Oh, and facebook of course never posts it.

BirdOPrey5 · #39 07-02-2010, 05:18 AM

I don't know if it makes a difference but the link in the template edit: http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml doesn't work/page not found error.

i couldn't get it to work, no idea why, it's the same code Facebook themselves gives out... so i switched to an iframe version of the code and all works well- just no comments posted.

Daisyboo · #40 07-02-2010, 02:53 PM

I had this working fine but now instead of posting the name of the thread it posts the name of the forum and when clicked it says No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator
