Changelog

---

0.2 - Added feature to show FB like button on each posts of given topic.
        Removed FB like button from Administration Area to avoid unnecessary facebook OG calls

0.1 - Initial release

Awesome idea. The open graph part is awesome being able to track likes a lot easier.

Thank you.. actually I was doing this on my few forum from long..really interesting to see what facebook is giving to your.. OR rather.. whats its taking :P... thought to share with SMF community also. :)

Hmm, is this mod compatible with SMF2.0.1?  I am using SMF2.0.1 and managed to install this mod while emulating  SMF2.0.

However, when I went to the configuration page, I got blank screen.  :-\

Thanks.

;D

It is compatible with SMF2.0.1 , I only need to modify few small things, will update.
However, you got blank screen, that may due to that mod not properly installed.

Thanks for the response, I will wait for the update then try again.  :D

I have updated this MOD  to work with current version of SMF as well as added option to show FB like button on each post.

Do you have to have an app id to use this mod? All i want is to have a facebook share or like button for each post (not each topic but post)

It will work without them too but obtaining one is easy, just use your current FB ccount and shall work. That way you can see how many pages are being liked, what traffic you get from FB and what traffic you sent to FB !

Yeah but to get an app id you have to give your real personal info (phone number/cc number etc.) otherwise you cant get your own app id.

Well, then I have tested it and works without using them ie. leaving all blank ..Go ahead and use it.. only thing you need to do is to enable it..

Yeah i am using it now. Its very very nice. Good job with it. Thank you.

The only thing that kinda bothered me is that there is no option to disable the like button on the top right corner of each page. That button covers my search bar.

Also i think it would be helpful to have the options in permissions for each membergroup.

hmm..

You can customize css so that it won't overlap with each other.  Hmm.. I will consider adding option to disable top button in future update.

Can you help me out on that? Like what code i need to adjust and what should i do? I am not good at those.

Link to your site ?

I can give you any file you need. Just ask.
I use Mineral Multicolor theme

PM me your site link if you have privacy concern.

Works great on my forum!  Thank you.  :)

My earlier problem must be due to my host's configurations.

PM me your site link if you have privacy concern.

I actually do. I cant give my site address. Please understand.
But i can put any file  or a screenshot here

Well, then I suggest you to remove top button code.. its simply matter of removing one line..
In index.template.php
Find :
<fb:like send="false" layout="button_count" width="100" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like>
Remove it and make sure you don't touch anything else.


@Bancherd
I am glad you liked it.

Some of my members say buttons mess up their view in the forum/messages. I think they use IE8 or maybe IE7.
I think moving the butons to the right corner of signature area would solve this problem. How can i do that?

Actually you know what would solve almost all of my problems? Putting an option for each member in their profile to enable/disable the buttons

It works fine in IE6 even. I have tested it.
Looks like some post content conflict .

Care to ask them what layout issue they are facing..

Anyways, you can show it sig area.. like, find following in your Display.template.php  , I am assuming you have mod already installed..
//Advance fb like with opengraph
if(!empty($modSettings['e_fb_enable']) && !empty($modSettings['e_fb_topic'])) {
if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
echo '<div style="float:right;margin:5px">
<fb:like href="',$scripturl ,'?topic=',$context['current_topic'],'.0" send="true" width="300" show_faces="true" font=""></fb:like>
</div>';
elseif (!empty($modSettings['e_fb_post']))
echo '<div style="float:right;margin:5px">
<fb:like href="',$message['href'],'" send="true" width="300" show_faces="true" font=""></fb:like>
</div>';
}//Advance Fb like with OG

Cut it from there and paste it just before following :
// Show the member's signature?

Let me know if this position is good !

i cant find
      // Show the member's signature?
or
      // the upshrink image, right-floated

contains the main template layer that displays the header and footer of

the linktree sub template, which sorts out the link tree.

The init sub template should load any data and set any hardcoded options.

The main_above sub template is what is shown above the main content, and
should contain anything that should be shown up there.

The main_below sub template, conversely, is shown after the main content.

The linktree sub template should display the link tree, using the data
in the $context['linktree'] variable.

The menu sub template should display all the relevant buttons the user

Thanks Ricky. Layout issues has been solved once the buttons moved to signature area.

zebono2,
That code has to be there in header section of your index.template.php , it will work in 70% as generally are based off curve..

Whats your theme ?

Im desperately in need of adding an option for members to disable these buttons. Please somebody help me about it.

I really dont want to uninstall this mod just because few of my VIP members are having layout issues. (I dont even know what kind of issues exactly because they are very old people and they know nothing about computers. They cant even send a screenshot for me to understand the issue.)

Adding option for each member will need significant change.
Well, better is to see those member's past few post and see if it is actually causing any issue, also try to open your forum in older browser like IE6 / IE 7  to check if its something related to browser. Or else we can try some new location. I am not short in ideas !

How about putting an option for membergroup permissions? Would that be hard to do? Because at least i can disable it for those people.

Also we can try to put the buttons right under the member info on the left side panel.

Ya, for membergroup, that won't be that hard but can't do any soon however,

For now , you can put all that code befpre <span class="botslice">

I have not check the location but should work good at that place.. also, I have another position if you want..try this.. first !

QuoteFor now , you can put all that code befpre <span class="botslice">

I cant find this code in index.template.php

Its in Display.template.php

But there are many of this code in display.template.php <span class="botslice">
Plus which code i should put before it?

You have to put this code :
//Advance fb like with opengraph
if(!empty($modSettings['e_fb_enable']) && !empty($modSettings['e_fb_topic'])) {
if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
echo '<div style="float:right;margin:5px">
<fb:like href="',$scripturl ,'?topic=',$context['current_topic'],'.0" send="true" width="300" show_faces="true" font=""></fb:like>
</div>';
elseif (!empty($modSettings['e_fb_post']))
echo '<div style="float:right;margin:5px">
<fb:like href="',$message['href'],'" send="true" width="300" show_faces="true" font=""></fb:like>
</div>';
}//Advance Fb like with OG
Currently I can't tell you exact location as I am not on computer currently. .. though you can try experimenting meanwhile...

I just tried now but it keeps giving me syntax error.
I think an option in the permission or another absolute solution would be better.

I really appreciate you try to help though.

that happens to me too

lot of errors

Looks like this position is not very good .. is it ?

Anyways,  a new position you can try :
in Display.template.php
Find : <hr class="post_separator" />';

Replace with
';
//Advance fb like with opengraph
if(!empty($modSettings['e_fb_enable']) && !empty($modSettings['e_fb_topic'])) {
if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
echo '<div class="windowbg" style="text-align:center;">
<span class="topslice">
<span></span>
</span>
<fb:like href="',$scripturl ,'?topic=',$context['current_topic'],'.0" send="true" width="500" show_faces="true" font=""></fb:like>
<span class="botslice">
<span></span>
</span>
</div>';
elseif (!empty($modSettings['e_fb_post']))
echo '<div class="',$message['alternate'] == 0 ? 'windowbg' : 'windowbg2','" style="text-align:center">
<span class="topslice">
<span></span>
</span>
<fb:like href="',$message['href'],'" send="true" width="500" show_faces="true" font=""></fb:like>
<span class="botslice">
<span></span>
</span>
</div>';
}//Advance Fb like with OG
echo '
<hr class="post_separator" />';
[/code]

Also not to forget to remove this code :

//Advance fb like with opengraph
if(!empty($modSettings['e_fb_enable']) && !empty($modSettings['e_fb_topic'])) {
if ($message['id'] == $context['first_message'])
echo '<div style="float:right;margin:5px">
<fb:like href="',$scripturl ,'?topic=',$context['current_topic'],'.0" send="true" width="300" show_faces="true" font=""></fb:like>
</div>';
elseif (!empty($modSettings['e_fb_post']))
echo '<div style="float:right;margin:5px">
<fb:like href="',$message['href'],'" send="true" width="300" show_faces="true" font=""></fb:like>
</div>';
}//Advance Fb like with OG

This is pretty good. I personally liked it a lot. But some of my members who have slow internet connections complaint about buttons slowing down the load time for each page. So i think an option in permission section or an option in every members profile would be the best for all the problems. Maybe it could be added in the next version (update).

Once i get the above option (or in a new update) i will translate this mod to Turkish. You have my word.

Thank you for all your help.

Ya, it does slow down as for every post it needs to connect to FB server, you can disable for each post. However, in next update I will try to include Group permission for this MOD.

waiting your update

Is there any solution for the scroll bar issue yet?
http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=457963.msg3199714#msg3199714

Well, I gave it a good look, looks like FB creates an invisible iframe or something that causes that scroll bar, though not yet clear, once I get to know exact reason, I will fix it. Will update it here.. I guess there is not any urgency !

Time for an update... :)
FYI, If you put all the lines here, i will translate them to Turkish so you can add that to the update.

I installed the mod and everythings works fine the only problem I've is Internet Explorer :(

On the forum index the "Like" button isn't to see, I add the button manual because I use a copy of the Core-Theme and
modified it. I think the problem with IE are the java-scripts, there a way to much on my forum.

When I'm in a topic than the "Like" button upper the date is to see, but not when I'm on the Portal (SimplePortal 2.3.3)
or on Boradindex. Google Chrome and Mozilla showing everything perfect :)

Is there a way to solve the problem?


Next question :)
I haven't enabled "Show FB like button on each post" and it works fine, but when the topic is having more than 1 page
the "Like" button is to see on the first post of every page of the topic. Is there a way to change it?


Sorry, I'm not an English person and don't know to explain it better :)

The upper part is important  as it contains call to FB Like script, so if on any page, upper script is not properly included, Like button won't work on rest of the page.

Regarding Like button on first post of second page, I had noticed it however, little short on time , will look into some work around.

So, now I have following to dos ..
1. Fix scroll bar issue,
2. On first post for second page, change link to actual post, not to whole topic.

The script are all included, and I think it's not a problem of the mod, it's a problem with my forum.
Could be there a way to much javascript installed and this is causing IE problems. I don't know, could be
possible.

Excess of anything is bad.. :)

Alright ..

1. Fix scroll bar issue,
2. On first post for second page, change link to actual post, not to whole topic.
3. Group based permission to turn it on / off.

I hope I get time soon !

"FYI, If you put all the lines here, i will translate them to Turkish so you can add that to the update."

The reason i want you to list all the lines is because i dont wanna just translate what i could find then it will be half ass job. I remember translating many mods which has lot more lines then the ones in language.modification.php

Any chance this will be coded for 1.1.15 ? Id really like to add the like button for each post and not just for the entire thread. Any help would be appreciated.

hi ricky,

my facebook like button is not showing in my theme.
but it's showing in the default theme. i can't find anything wrong.
what's the problem?
pls advice. tks

Hi Berntan:

You need to make manual edit in your custom theme, somewhere in header (at your desired location), add following code:
if(!empty($modSettings['e_fb_enable']) && $context['current_action'] != 'admin'){
// Advance FB like with OG
echo '<span style="float: right; margin-top: 10px;"><div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
    FB.init({appId: \'',(empty($modSettings['e_fb_appId'])?'your app id':$modSettings['e_fb_appId']),'\', status: true, cookie: true,
             xfbml: true});
  };
  (function() {
    var e = document.createElement(\'script\'); e.async = true;
    e.src = document.location.protocol +
      \'//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js\';
    document.getElementById(\'fb-root\').appendChild(e);
  }());
</script>
<fb:like send="false" layout="button_count" width="100" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like></span>';
As I guess only that one is missing.

in index.template.php?

hi ricky,

i can't add within header. error occurs.
i had pm u.

thanks mate

I can't give you exact location as you have custom theme, code I gave you can be placed anywhere in index.template.php (but should be in header). 

Looks cool, probably WILL try this.

May I suggest (if no one suggested it yet) to move the Like & Send button to the left of the "Report to moderator" & "(IP) Logged"? Or better yet, right above them!

1 question though, can you make it language specific? I mean in the mod settings, Admin will have a text field called "Language", and he can insert his desired language? Like he_IL, in my case?

Last thing would be RTL support... Instead of floating it to the right, float it to the left...

Like I said, probably will test this, even though I prefer these suggestions will be implemented first. :)

Good job, and thanks for this mod. :)

1- I dont have the buttons appear on the homepage. But everytime the homepage load, it also sends/inquires connect.facebook.net

2- There is still a big blank space on the right side of the forum cause by this mod. I think this was the scroll bar issue and it still continues.

1- I dont have the buttons appear on the homepage. But everytime the homepage load, it also sends/inquires connect.facebook.net
Because   you theme may have missed code required to show button on top. Was there any install error for theme you are using ?

2- There is still a big blank space on the right side of the forum cause by this mod. I think this was the scroll bar issue and it still continues.
Because FB need more space then they promise to use in this widget , I have found fix for it, may need some code fixes , will do it soon.

QuoteBecause   you theme may have missed code required to show button on top. Was there any install error for theme you are using ?

I dont think so. Bu i dont remember. Its been a long time. I may have fix the error and then install the mod. But i never force to install when the error is still there.

I just read this,

Installation on Custom Template
This MOD need manual modification in order to function on custom themes other than default. You can use Package Parser to do the required changes. If you are unsure about it then you can ask me.

Does this mean I have to change files? , if so why cant this just be included in the package?..I'm not into changing files and such. It's best to just upload and click the install button and have it work properly,In my opinion. So in other words, It does not work? It does not make sense to sit here and change everything when It's stated it works..

Well, not really true, I need to modify this, just during installation select your custom theme also, in 90% cases, will be installed easily on other themes too.

I don't understand what you mean by " just during installation select your custom theme also ". does this also conflict with other mods that are similar to what this mod does?

In version 2.0.x of SMF, it also install modification to custom themes automatically but you have to manually select it (Given that your custom theme is not very different from default theme in terms of page code.)

I understand that,but that guy was trying to say i was being impatient cause i had 3 different subjects going at the same time in their proper places,then it became an issue cause i asked if i can put  codes on my site with out SMF or SMF mods...that guy didnt understand my situation and jumped to conclusions..and then it escalated cause of his lack of taking the time to read the conversations instead of assuming . He did not understand what was occurring.Then i was the one told i was being impatient and rude cause i said i could not wait for a mod to be merged when iwas told by the author " i dont know " on a time frame,I said i need these mods desperately so i cant wait for a " i dont know", that could be months as far as i know, so i asked if i can get these widgets on my site without SMF or the SMF mods. and they got pissed at that saying, Im  impatient. so honestly, i dont know.but I dont have a problem with being patient.

NO , I have no knowledge in that changing files thing, so I dont bother doing that stuff... I just download and install the mods.

Does anyone have a problem with the facebook SDK making a loop in Internet Explorer 8? I just to have this problem in joomla and fix it with the channel.html file and sending a header but I can't find the proper way to do it in smf.

And without this the mod can't function ok in Ie. =\

I can see it working in IE 8 .. where exactly you are facing problem ?

This happen to me before in one site where I'm using joomla, the browser star to reload it self making a loop ( in here there are a topic about this: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5640260/facebook-permissions-in-ie-causing-infinite-facebook-loop and also a lot of this in google searching "facebook internet explorer loop")

In my joomla site, I added the channel file and channel file ref in the script, also in the php the header send, (header('p3p: CP="NOI ADM DEV PSAi COM NAV OUR OTR STP IND DEM"'); ) and then the problem stops, but I can't get it work in smf. I already ask where I bought my theme and confirm that isn't a theme problem.

I'm making tests and the "crash" in IE only happen when the tag <fb:like> is called, each time that I change to another page/topic in my forum IE crashes, but if the <fb:like> isn't in the code all works fine.

Ok , may be something is causing issue or conflict as I have tested it on IE8 too, see http://ifandbut.com , its being used there.

Oh! did you config anything special in your FB app? or just the default settings?

By this mod, you get all features  FB offers properly integrated with SMF .

Is possible to enable/disable the sdk code in the administration? or I need to edit the code? Because I'm thinking of install the SA FB integration mod, that don't have Open Graph integrated, but have the FB login/register feature; and I'm not sure if the two mods can live together without messing with the code.

I don't think it will interfere unless SA FB integration adds something similar to LIKE / Share button. 

Thanks ;) I will look into the code

2. How to remove Facebook like button from Members & Profile pages.

Hey there !

We are using this mod on our forum : forum-clio.com

We also avec the issue with the horizontal scrollbar.

I read that is in the TODO list so I'm waiting for this ;)

THanks a lot !

Ricky...

I just installed this mod...thanks!

As it stands...I have it configured the way I want it...with my FB Admin ID but, not an application ID.  I've only tried it once and it doesn't seem to be pulling the image from the location I added in the settings of this mod.  I've modified the code so that the Like and Send buttons are displayed on the left side...just under the topic.  I'm not sure if I need to configure anything else or, not.  I just want to make sure the image gets posted when I "Like" and "Post" the comment.  So far...it grabs whatever image is available.

May I make a suggestion?

Instead of giving permissions for this mod...just configure it so it is only used within certain boards.  As it stands now...it's almost perfect.  It just doesn't have a place on certain forums of my site.  I mean...I can see it on certain forums...but, I wouldn't necessarily use it in an Off Topic forum...know what I mean?

I look forward to your reply.

You mean giving it board basis permission.
Well, there are so many things which can be done this mod, I am busy for a while but when I do I update, I will try to implement most of the suggestion.

Regarding image, you have to give full image page.

2. How to remove Facebook like button from Members & Profile pages.

On profile page, its actually linking to your main page, so if anyone clicks like on that page, he /she will actually like your forums' main page. I don't see reason to remove it from there.

The image is working now...

I forgot I had to make some additional code changes to my custom theme.

As far as permissions go....I just don't want the facebook like/send buttons used on certain forums.  Other than that...I'm completely satisfied with this mod.

Hi guys, I cant find the settings options ?? Could you please offer some advice

This mod is good but needs to be improved on. I installed it and it worked very well but interfere with post images. Instead of showing photos in the posts, it showed the inserted pictures on all posts when shared on Facebook.

Like the other poster asked two questions - one being Moving the Like - send buttons UNDER the post content.. that would be the Best place for it..
Thats the only thing stopping me from using this mod..

Hellooooo..

Y? here i am going wrong?

You have to install it manually on custom theme..
See: Manual Installation of Mods (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/Manual_installation_of_mods)

please i need your help what mod do i hv to install to show me fb like bottom on my site im using smf 2.0.2 please help tanx

You can do this with this mod itself , you will have to do some manual changes.  Install this mod and after installation , move some code to bottom :

<fb:like send="false" layout="button_count" width="100" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like></span>

And remove it, now will show this button in bottom :
<div id="footer_section"><div class="frame">
<ul class="reset">
<li class="copyright">', theme_copyright(), '</li>



' , !empty($modSettings['e_fb_enable']) ? '<li class="copyright"><fb:like send="false" layout="button_count" width="100" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like>' : '' , '

Remember, this code is not tested but it should give you some idea, it is based upon default curve theme, if you have any other custom theme, you may have to make changes accordingly.

Well, I couldn't really understand, and I have a question.

Does this mod allows you to like a specific post inside topics?
On other mods, when I like a specific post, what it shows after I refresh the page is that I like ALL the posts in the topic (and the topic itself).

Frankly, I prefer a simple mod (http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=3105), but to be able to like specific posts in each topic. I figured out that the problem is with the canonical url that SMF 2 outputs.

I'm considering on using your mod, but like I said, I prefer to keep everything simple.
If I knew how to use PHP to change the canonical url of a page in SMF 2 (let's say "$context['current_action'] = 'topic_page'" or something similar), only on specific actions (in my case the topic pages) I would have change it myself...

The problem isn't entirely down to the canonical URL, it's the fact that Facebook doesn't work on units of 'part of a page', it works for the whole page.

Well, if it did - I guess the "liking" and "sending" possibilites on a page, were endless. :) But probably would also take more loading time.

The thing is, a message on its own isn't really often that useful, very often it's only really useful in the context of the stuff around it.

There are like mods that work per-post, just they're not tied to Facebook (which strikes me as a good thing)

Hmm, I guess you make a good point.

Although - It would be really nice though, if someone likes a single post, so people (including me) be able to see it's popularity alone, not the as the whole topic.
It can be good if someone likes a post, and when a user click on the link that someone liked, he's being directed directly to that post.
Let's say there's a topic, and in one post, there's an opinion on the whole subject of the topic. If someone likes that post, and a user on facebook will click on it's link, he'll go straight to that opinion.

Like I said, if I knew PHP I would make a change to the index.php?topic=x, and remove the canonical link of it, so the like button will be able to take the link of a single post, OR, I would leave the canonical link, AND make a canonical facebook link, using og:url - that will change on the current message that the user will be on, although my guess it won't work, since the canonical link must be the same.

Well, is there any method I can remove the canonical link only for topic view pages? Something like "$context['current_action'] = 'topic_page'"?
My topic indexing (in Google, etc) isn't important to me that much.

Thanks.

-sigh- You could remove the canonical link and it wouldn't change a thing, except screwing up all your search engine handling. Facebook still wouldn't work how you want it to work!

Facebook Like does not work on a part-of-page context and removing the canonical URL won't change that.

(And really, do not change the canonical URL in topic pages, because it will seriously penalise you in Google for content duplication)

Well, I guess I'll stick to only topic liking... XD

Thanks alot Arantor. I hope to hear good news from you guys soon (you and Nao ;)). Keep up the good work.

Or, as I already mentioned, you could use a mod that isn't Facebook-driven to indicate likes...

Don't think so...

This will require me to use more settings (depends on the mod), hold my fingers crossed that it will get updated when a new version of SMF 2 comes out, make people register (my community is pretty public, so it's not a must-have to register), and probably won't show up the specific posts on Facebook, which what I needed from the start...

*shrug* You can't have what you want.

Having issues getting this to work with custom theme premiummgc

After uploading the package successfully, when you click install all checks are positive, except for the index.template in my custom theme. Of the checks it does, the only one it errors on is :

Fine

// the upshrink image, right-floated


add before

            if(!empty($modSettings['e_fb_enable']) && $context['current_action'] != 'admin'){   
            // Advance FB like with OG
               echo '<span style="float: right; margin-top: 10px;"><div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
    FB.init({appId: \'',(empty($modSettings['e_fb_appId'])?'your app id':$modSettings['e_fb_appId']),'\', status: true, cookie: true,
             xfbml: true});
  };
  (function() {
    var e = document.createElement(\'script\'); e.async = true;
    e.src = document.location.protocol +
      \'//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js\';
    document.getElementById(\'fb-root\').appendChild(e);
  }());
</script>
         <fb:like send="false" layout="button_count" width="100" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like></span>';
            } // Advance FB like with OG

this theme does not have that section.

After comparing the index.template from this custom theme to the one from default theme, I see that the package is just trying to paste in this code after the:

function template_body_above() , which is is this custom theme index.template file.

I attempted to paste in the above FB code right after function template_body_above()
{
   global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings;

But no luck. The facebook icons do not show up at all in either the default theme, which had no errors, or the custom theme I was attempting to modify

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Update Ricky:

I am attempting to manually modify my index.template of this custom theme. You noted on an earlier post what code needs to be pasted into the header of a custom index.template file, so I did this.

I found:

function template_body_above()
{
   global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings;
   
   echo'
   

<div id="header"><div class="frame">
      <div id="top_section">
         <h1 class="forumtitle">
            <a href="', $scripturl, '">', empty($context['header_logo_url_html_safe']) ? '<img src="'. $settings['images_url'].'/theme/logo.png" alt="' .$context['forum_name']. '"/>' : '<img src="' . $context['header_logo_url_html_safe'] . '" alt="' . $context['forum_name'] . '" />', '</a>
         </h1>
         <br class="clear"/>
         
         <div class="news normaltext">';

And made it:

function template_body_above()
{
   global $context, $settings, $options, $scripturl, $txt, $modSettings;
   
   echo'
   

<div id="header"><div class="frame">
      <div id="top_section">
         <h1 class="forumtitle">
            <a href="', $scripturl, '">', empty($context['header_logo_url_html_safe']) ? '<img src="'. $settings['images_url'].'/theme/logo.png" alt="' .$context['forum_name']. '"/>' : '<img src="' . $context['header_logo_url_html_safe'] . '" alt="' . $context['forum_name'] . '" />', '</a>
         </h1>
         <br class="clear"/>
         
         <div class="news normaltext">';

            if(!empty($modSettings['e_fb_enable']) && $context['current_action'] != 'admin'){   
            // Advance FB like with OG
               echo '<span style="float: right; margin-top: 10px;"><div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
    FB.init({appId: \'',(empty($modSettings['e_fb_appId'])?'your app id':$modSettings['e_fb_appId']),'\', status: true, cookie: true,
             xfbml: true});
  };
  (function() {
    var e = document.createElement(\'script\'); e.async = true;
    e.src = document.location.protocol +
      \'//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js\';
    document.getElementById(\'fb-root\').appendChild(e);
  }());
</script>
         <fb:like send="false" layout="button_count" width="100" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like></span>';

And now I get a parse error. Any ideas? Could really use help to get this working. thanks

Error is:

Template Parse Error!
There was a problem loading the /Themes/premiummgc/index.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.

You may want to try to refresh this page or use the default theme.

Well, lets try afresh, in your Themes/premiummgc/index.template.php

</h1>
<br class="clear"/>


Replace with
</h1>';
if(!empty($modSettings['e_fb_enable']) && $context['current_action'] != 'admin'){
// Advance FB like with OG
echo '<span style="float: right; margin-top: 10px;"><div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
  window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
    FB.init({appId: \'',(empty($modSettings['e_fb_appId'])?'your app id':$modSettings['e_fb_appId']),'\', status: true, cookie: true,
             xfbml: true});
  };
  (function() {
    var e = document.createElement(\'script\'); e.async = true;
    e.src = document.location.protocol +
      \'//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js\';
    document.getElementById(\'fb-root\').appendChild(e);
  }());
</script>
<fb:like send="false" layout="button_count" width="100" show_faces="false" font=""></fb:like></span>';
} // Advance FB like with OG

echo ' <br class="clear"/>

I have tested and worked as expected.

Hi Ricky,

Thanks for the reply. The modification you suggested took away the parse error, however FB like or send does not show up anywhere on any page. In the admin the check boxes are selected to show the like and send buttons.

What can I do to help you help me make this work? Do you need to see the files used?

I appreciate your help

I suggest you to uninstall the MOD (but keeping the changes done on index.template.php of premiummgc theme and install it again and let me know.

I did as you requested, keeping the last change you instructed me to make to index.template in the custom theme, uninstall then reinstall, and no such luck. Still nothing.

Would you like me to post certain files to review? If so please just let me know which ones.

I appreciate your time in this

post your index.template.php as well as post screenshot of your admin area..
Here what I suspect that you may not be editing right file..

Hi Ricky,

I am attaching my index.template file from my custom theme directory, and an image of the admin area. Any help is greatly appreciated!

(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nicholaspaul.net%2Fn%2Fimages%2Fadminarea.jpg&hash=15a946bd731da8ff51ed03fa8a6d6d8dd020aa8b)

You need to enable first option too, that is overall switch to turn it ON/OFF

I will give that a try and report back. Thanks

Did you notice anything else that would be preventing this from showing up in my code? I am attaching the default/display.template also for review

No such luck checking that box.

I attached my display.template.php from the default theme directory and here is the index.template from my custom theme again

Any ideas why this isnt showing up?

Please help me get this working

I don't see instance of my FB mod in your Display.template.php , I am not sure but looks like mod is not being installed properly. May be you can send me your forum details in PM so that I can see myself whenever I have some free time.

I am trying to get this installed on a custom theme. Everything works until this point...

This is code is not found...

Code: (Find)

Quote// the upshrink image, right-floated

Which means I am not sure where to paste...

I attached my index.template.php. Can someone tell me where I should paste this in so I can get it working?

It is not possible to suggest location without seeing theme live also, since you are using custom theme, it will be very easy for custom theme author to suggest you location.

toyotaoutlaws.com is the website. I would be happy to give you login info if you can possibly help me out on this on...  O:)

I just checked your index.template.php and looks like you have added but it is overlapped by other elements.
I am attaching modified index.template.php , remember to take backup of your current file as this code is not tested as I don't have this theme with me.

I want users on my site to click on like us and only then certain article would be visible

That is something different than what this mod offer, what you asked can be done but that will be something completely new, I can try but only when I get time.

Using helios multi theme and i cannot get the like buttons or anything to show up. 
i have manually attempted to add the files and still nothing. 

my index.template.php and display.template.php are attached if you can help me out. 
below is also a screen shot of the settings.  in misc.

Please do I when u get time
Thanks for your efforts

- It doesnt install in 2.0.3 without emulation
- You cant use the mod without an App ID which you have to give your full personal information to FB to get.

I would love to use this mod and I dont need the OpenGraph. So there should be an option to use everything else if you dont have an App ID. Wish I could use it.
Very nice mod. Good job.

This mod is compatible with 2.0.3 , though I need to update package so that one don't need emulation.

As far as I remember, it works without APP ID, if you don't have one, just leave it blank.

QuoteAs far as I remember, it works without APP ID, if you don't have one, just leave it blank.

It didnt work in my forum when i left it blank. I didnt see any kinda like button anywhere at all.

Well, then they may have changed things, but .. have you tried it on default theme ?

sorry m8 did not work for me on any theme

Does this mod work on 2.0.4?

Using version emulate yep!

I need help to, I have 2.0.4 and install with emulate, but nothing happens.
The installer had problem with Theme/core/index.template.php but I use Curl as default.
I change this file manual....

Hi,

I have some hidden boards, that are seen only by some users, so makes no sense the like button is shown in those boards, and inside the first post of a topic, just because, as well as the admin panel, the link that will be shared to facebook, will not work to persons that aren't registered in the forum, as well as the users that don't have permission to view those boards.

Is there any solution for these?

So far there is no solution for it, there is new version already being worked upon , may be something can be added to tackle situation like yours.

Ok Ricky, thanks for your feedback.

Then I'll wait for that new version :)

Hello Ricky,

I manage to install your modification on SMF 2.0.4, but I'm having one small issue. One the post pages the window for the "Send" function is cut out (please check the attached picture).

Any idea?

Thank you very much for your help!

Ya, I am aware of this issue, yet to find why it cuts off, though primary investigation shows FB should have used higher z-index etc.. so that overlay remains visible even of its parent container is smaller. Need to figure out some way around.

Is it possible to move to the left the Like and Send buttons?

Thanks!

In Display.Template.php of my theme, I have made these changes:

Old:
echo '<div style="float:right;margin:5px">
<fb:like href="',$scripturl ,'?topic=',$context['current_topic'],'.0" send="true" width="300" show_faces="true" font=""></fb:like></div>';

New:
echo '<div style="float:right;margin:50px" class="fb-like" data-width="400" data-show-faces="true" data-send="true"></div>';

Seems to be working
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fs14.postimg.org%2Fc08orq0tt%2Fimage.png&hash=412d63a23db7a11b9ca173f92f3c03c5a8859c1c)

Thats nice.

Hello Ricky,

How do I add the description to the modification?
"The 'og:description' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags."

I couldn't find anywhere a way to input the text describing my website to facebook.

Thank you for your help!

Best!

Is there any news of a newer version of this please, Ricky? I'm on 2.0.6 and there's no option to install/emulate an older version? Thanks :)

This should work on 2.0.6 ..

When you see list of packages in Admin, there is option to change version.
How can I install a mod that doesn't work in my SMF version? (http://wiki.simplemachines.org/smf/How_can_install_a_mod_that_doesn%27t_work_in_my_SMF_version)

Anyone get this to work on 2.0.7? I have been unable to do so. Although this mod seems great, I do not necessarily care about the like buttons, just the fact that it adds the OG info easily for FB to read.

I have to re-look into it as it seems few things are changed from FB side.

Can I assume this mod is expired and not to be used? and also support will not be there

Yes, this mod need rework and I am quite occupied for now.

Hi,I installed your mod with few minor errors that I fixed. I had to revert my forum to 2.0.2 to instal it and I had to manually edit my index.template.php file. Still after enableing the mod and setting everything up it wont work like its supposed to.
When I post a link on my facebook wall it will add only the images I use for logo as og:image not the one in posts.
Even when checking with facebook debugger it still shows up only logo images of my forum and no post images at all.
Did I do anything wrong? This is one of thing this mod is supposed to do,right?
Any other way of managing this except this mod?
Thank you.
