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.

Plus one on the above question, but this iframe, has to be moved to the right side of the postbit window, above the postbit content perhaps.

I've managed to put it under the thread title, but that's not where it should be, if we were to have it in every post.

Hi,

I managed to add LIKE button to the post.

BUT - I want to add LIKE button to EACH post in thread so users can like specific answer/comment and NOT the WHOLE thread.

How can it be done?

Thanks

[sv1cec]

I am looking at doing the same thing. Putting a like button in every post, but so far I haven't managed to do it. I am waiting for some help in here, if I manage to do it, I'll let you know.

Remove template condition to get on every post just add facebook like code to template

Stupid question but if we are serving ads in that spot, this won't work, right?
