HTML code in sidebar

[Teascu Dorin]

Hello,

I have add an HTML code for the Facebook Social Plugin in the sidebar and is not showing anything either with HTML or PHP selected.
It can't be used HTML or I did something wrong?

Can you be a bit more specific? I used Addthis.com to get the code for this... then I used the ad module not the html static module. Use the ad module, then check "when user is browsing content page." It works perfectly.

For example I can not add the code below into the sidebar (module). Appears empty.

<div class="fb-like-box" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/roStyles.Design" data-width="240" data-height="340" data-show-faces="true" data-stream="false" data-border-color="#000000" data-header="true"></div>

I believe for Facebook stuff there is other code that you may have to add to one of the templates, such as the footer.

I had to activate the Facebook Options with the ID and secret. That did it.

That is the case for the default "Facebook Connect" functionality, yes. However it looks as though the OP is trying to add a Facebook Social Plugin into an HTML module. I have a feeling that this will also require some code in the footer, though I am no expert on Facebook.

This is because once enabled, we actually pull the Facebook Javascript that allows their social plugins to work. If it is disabled, you need to add code to the page to do this per their instructions. This code can only exist on the page once though or it will cause problems.

It's important that there is a result that actually works at the end, maybe others will look for this and will be helpful.
