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

I also get "error"

The page at http://mysitehere.net/showthread.php?t could not be reached.

Also it seems not to work with VBSeo

Would be great to have a dislike button as well.

Can it also be tagged to each post in a thread or can it only deal with first post?

Wherever you want. :up:

trackpads · #6 04-22-2010, 04:35 PM

I changed the width to =50 so that it didnt push the content around

trackpads · #7 04-22-2010, 04:35 PM

Suggestion: Can you create a hack like this so users can like members profiles?

ericgtr · #8 04-22-2010, 04:49 PM

To anyone getting a submit error, be sure your URL is correct. Also, I have not tested with vbseo and it will most likely need to be re-worked for that.

@trackpads I will look into that, I'm sure the parameters will have to be modified for that page.

looks like sweet addon thanks

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
