Show Thread Enhancements - Add New Facebook "Like" button to your threads

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:

<!-- 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:

{vb:raw ad_location.thread_first_post_content}

Add this after:

<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:

{vb:raw comment_block}

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

{vb:raw picturecomment_commentarea}

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

I have this installed and working fine for forum posts, but how do I go about adding it for CMS articles, blog posts, and albums/pictures?

Here's some suggestions.

For CMS, in vbcms_content_article_page add the code below this:

{vb:raw comment_block}

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

{vb:raw picturecomment_commentarea}

This gives you the idea, I haven't added it to the blog yet but it's just a matter of locating the right template.

Thanks, I added this code:

<!-- Facebook Like -->
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.npac.ca/2010/{vb:link thread, {vb:raw thread}, {vb:raw pageinfo_post}}&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_f aces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;color scheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:30px"></iframe>
<!-- / Facebook Like -->

in: vbcms_content_article_page

after: <vb:if condition="$comment_block"> ... </vb:if>

Example: http://npac.ca/2010/content.php/121-QA-with-Rod-MacIvor

I click like, it shows up with the proper article title on my Facebook profile, however it links to the corresponding forum post for the article: http://www.npac.ca/2010/showthread.p...th-Rod-MacIvor

The 'like' does appear in both the forum post and article though.

How can I make it link straight back to the article? I'm not familiar with the {vb:link} stuff, so I don't really know what else to try instead.

Thanks again for your help!

FYI, I had the error, and realized you need the trailing / on the end of the url.

Added that, worked liked a charm, this was in Postibit Legacy.
