[Forum] Facebook "like" Button for Vbulletin

[Reolien01]

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=(web_site)&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=dark" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:px"></iframe>

This is the code, my question is, how do I put this in the postbit legacy and have it update the current url.

With this code, every time a user clicks, it links to only one address labeled above as (web_site).

It would be much appreciated for a hand on this.

 scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:100px; height:20px"></iframe>

That does it by Url in browser in postbit_legacy. Now I just need to find out how to add postid

Can I ask what the idea is behind this? Will it then show up a like on your facebook profile and link back to the thread for example?

[Reolien01]

Yes, anyone who presses the "like" button.

 scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:100px; height:20px"></iframe>

This works correctly, but I would like the URL preview text to be the same name as the thread.

Hi, Ive been trying to get the same thing working yesterday and today! Although I can't even get as far as you...

when I add the exact same code you have... click like I just get 'error' in red next to it, I have tried setting up my website application ID with facebook and getting the javascript for that in the header too to see if it would help.. but nothing?

any ideas?

here is my code

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.streetrace.co.uk/forum/$session[sessionurl]?p=$post[postid]&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light" 
 scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:100px; height:20px"></iframe>

I have even tried pasting the URL into facebooks generator which presents this...

still no joy?

Do you have vbseo? If so try:


<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://(DOMAIN)$_SERVER[VBSEO_URI]?p=$post[postid]&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=l ight"
scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" title="hihi" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:100px; height:20px"></iframe>

Thanks, this worked perfectly for me!

[Coop1979]

Thanks, this worked perfectly for me!

Odd, I'm still getting an error when I try to "Like" a thread using this code.

This is the first thing I was looking for this morning and the code works perfectly on my site.

So are you able to put a Like button on each thread? And when published to the facebook wall, does it show the thread title, or just the name of the forum?

Is there anything you need to change in this code to get it to work? Like change DOMAIN to your domain?

[Reolien01]

change DOMAIN to your domain?

Yes

Yes, the facebook status shows "Name likes THREAD NAME on FORUMNAME" - both the thread name and forum name are directly hyperlinked.

When I put it on postbit legacy, it showed on every post, but even if you liked post number 11 in the thread, it counted the "thread" as the liked item instead of the individual post.
