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.

is this how its supposed to work? it there something i'm missing to get the title of the thread to display? please advise.
To be clear, this modification is setup to work with out of the box VB without VBSEO, that takes a separate plugin to work. As for it now showing the titles properly I would make sure that you don't have any other SEO mods/plugins running.

That will do it, remember that FB has to be able to read the thread as a guest in order to display its title.

I inserted the code so that the FB Like will only show in certain forums, but it continues to show in all forums. I have seen this code in two different ways in this thread. Is either one correct.

<vb:if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(2,14))">Show this to forum 2 and 14</vb:if>

<vb:if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'],array(2,14))">

This is what I have and it doesn't just show these two forums:

PHP Code:
<vb:if condition="in_array($forum['forumid'], array(2,14))">
<
vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) AND ($post[postcount] == '1')">

Maybe my screenshots will help. If you're not logged into facebook, you'll see this:



And when you are logged into facebook, you'll see this:



Obviously, the above examples are using Option 2.

Option 1 would look like this, and I didn't like the way it was wrapping the text.



And here's option 2 on the same thread:

Marked as unistalled. Although there seems to be no danger, it serves no purpose in a inaccessible forum.
EDIT: Installed. Having the code to specify forums changed my mind

Because FB cannot access the URL as a guest. Try to think of FB as a guest on your site, if a guest cannot access a forum it cannot see the title.

ONLY DISPLAY IN CERTAIN FORUMS

29 and 133 being the forum ids you want this to show in.. more forums would be 29,44,123,49 etc


its not $forum[forumid] its $thread[forumid]




Code:

<vb:if condition="in_array($thread['forumid'],array(29,133))">
<vb:if condition="(THIS_SCRIPT == showthread) AND ($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=false&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:30px"></iframe>
