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.

            <tr>

                <td class="navbar"

Paste above the fb like code.

Also, you pasted this twice:

PHP Code:


			
<div id="fb-root"></div> 

<script src="/images/fb.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

Hi every one,
i added LIKE button to my forum and it works just fine except one issue, if i click on LIKE and write a comment it shows on my profile with Random Thumbnail, so how can i get the option to choose the Thumbnail i want to add with the topic i LIKE ?

The Thumbnail should be controlled by the line:
<meta property="og:image" content="IMAGEPATH"/>

in the headerinclude template. You need to replace "IMAGEPATH"/> with the path to a thumbnail image, or usually your forum logo... something like "/forums/images/misc/logo.gif"

Still not working

Code:

<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.mixlogy.com/vb/images/mix.gif"/>

I added it from here
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/...e/plugins/like

im just need the full come which show my forum image on every LIKE click on user profiles
and i need to know why i have to put my id ?

Support · #81 07-31-2010, 07:55 PM

Code:

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.mixlogy.com/vb/showthread.php$session[sessionurl]?p=$post[postid]&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true">
<meta property="og:site_name" content="Mixlogy.com"/> 
<meta property="og:image" content="http://www.mixlogy.com/vb/images/mix.gif"/> 
<meta property="fb:admins" content="100000769173722"/>
