The Arcive of Official vBulletin Modifications Site.

Add New Facebook "Like" button to your threads · **Released**: 04-21-2010

Please remember to click Mark as Installed if you use this modification.

Facebook has just launched their latest "Like" button to developers to use on any site. What this does is utilizes the Advertising module to add the "Like" button to the first post of each thread. Please see screenshots to get an idea.

In your Admin CP go to Advertising > New Ad > Choose "Thread" from the dropdown and then select the first thread box. Give it a title (I called mine FB Like) leave "First Post Content" at default and paste in this code:

HTML Code:

<!-- Facebook Like -->
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.YOURSITE.com/{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}, {vb:raw pageinfo_post}}#post{vb:raw post.postid}&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:px"></iframe>
<!-- / Facebook Like -->

Be sure to change YOURSITE.com to your URL including your forum.

The VBSEO team has instructions on how to make this work for their product here http://www.vbseo.com/f2/facebook-lik...95/#post265997

===========================================
Option 2 (different from above, do not use together) will show at top, see screenshot #3

In Postbit (or legacy) find:

Code:

{vb:raw ad_location.thread_first_post_content}

Add this after:

Code:

<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) AND ($post[postcount] == '1')"
<!-- Facebook Like -->
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.YOURSITE.com/{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}}&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;font=tahoma&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:75px"></iframe>
<!-- / Facebook Like -->
</vb:if>

For additional information on this button and different parameters please visit http://developers.facebook.com/docs/...e/plugins/like

=================================================

For those who have asked, here is the modification adds both the "Like" button and comments to a users profile https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=239424

=================================================
Additional locations to place this code:

For CMS, in vbcms_content_article_page add the code below this:

Code:

{vb:raw comment_block}

For pictures, in template album_pictureview add the code below this:

Code:

{vb:raw picturecomment_commentarea}

For Blog, in template blog_show_entry add at the very top.

Thank you TimberFloorAu and Uberguilds for posting your code. Unfortunately, I couldn't get either to work. I can get the mod to work by itself except everytime I try to exclude forums it doesn't work. I've tried all different ways:

Code:

<!-- Facebook Like -->
<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) && ($post[postcount] == '1') && (in_array($forum[forumid],array(2,3,8,9,13)))">
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.yourDomain.com/{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}}&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;font=tahoma&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:75px"></iframe>
</vb:if>
<!-- / Facebook Like -->

Code:

<!-- Facebook Like -->
<vb:if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'],array(2,3,8,9,13))">
<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) AND ($post[postcount] == '1')">
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.yourDomain.com/{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}}&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;font=tahoma&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:75px"></iframe>
</vb:if>
</vb:if>

I bet I'm doing something simple that's wrong. I just don't see it.

This is a 4.0 mod. The bit in bold and big kind of jumps out as being totally incorrect..

I bet they have to be combined, I don't have time to look at it tonight but I'll play with it some tomorrow.

Thanks TimberFloorAu and everybody who has tweaked this, not forgetting EricGTR, I really like this mod and think overall, it's far better than Facebook Connect, I just hope Facebook don't decide to discontinue this like they the did with Facebook Connect.

worried · #56 04-23-2010, 04:51 AM

There is supposed to be a bug in 4.0.0 - 4.0.2 in which ads won't diplay at all if you set them for certain forums: http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/proje...d=34416&page=2

It's supposed to be fixed in 4.0.3 which I'm using yet I can't get it to work.

hubie · #57 04-23-2010, 05:16 AM

Here's an adaptation I made for 3.8.x: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=241053

Cheers.

hiker · #58 04-23-2010, 05:17 AM

I just changed to option 2. Much better. Option 1 was wrapping my text strange, leaving big gaps.

reimic · #59 04-23-2010, 05:28 AM

How is the code for the CMS?

TimberFloorAu · #60 04-23-2010, 06:22 AM

Option 2 to hide specific forums.

Code:

<!-- Facebook Like -->
<vb:if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'],array(2,3,8,9,13))">
<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) AND ($post[postcount] == '1')">
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.yourDomain.com/{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}}&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;font=tahoma&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:75px"></iframe>
</vb:if>
</vb:if>
<!-- / Facebook Like -->

Dont forget if your forum is in folder [forum] change the above code to:

Code:

<!-- Facebook Like -->
<vb:if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'],array(2,3,8,9,13))">
<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) AND ($post[postcount] == '1')">
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.yourDomain.com/forum/{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}}&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;font=tahoma&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:75px"></iframe>
</vb:if>
</vb:if>
<!-- / Facebook Like -->

The code

Code:

<vb:if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'],array(2,3,8,9,13))">

This displays this MOD in these forum ID's

The code

Code:

<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) AND ($post[postcount] == '1')">

Displays only in first post

To show in only ONE forum:
Replace

Code:

<vb:if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'],array(2,3,8,9,13))">

use this

Code:

<vb:if condition="$forum[forumid] == x">Show this if forum id is x</vb:if>

Change x to the forum id of the forum you want this mod to display in.

Change x to the forum id of the forum you want this mod to display in.

confusing..the display and hide are both the same?

how do you combine these conditions?

show in forum

Code:

<vb:if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'],array(2,3,8,9,13))">

with

Code:

<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) AND ($post[postcount] == '1')">

thx
