its up to facebook, sometimes works, sometimes doesn't,  facebook tries to get the title of the page you share and the images on that page,    sadly not always works,   sometimes even the title of the page doesn't work.

Excellent ! Works perfect - and you can put it where ever fits best 

glad you like it    Im thinking to offer some more places to put the button on, I just don't know where  


any suggestions?

In your demo link http://dev.oharascans.com/index.php?topic=1.0 once you click on like a box is shown to write something. In my forum it does not show that box.

Also what to write in these boxes?
The URL of the best picture for this page. The image must be at least 50px by 50px and have a maximum aspect ratio of 3:1.
cebook Like Button with. example: 200px

[mirahalo]

can I have a link where the like button is show?
by default the box must appears.


on the image, you put a url of and image, perhaps the banner of your forum,  when a user like a thread and post a comment, the comment will be show on his/her wall  next to the image, will be the ttle of the page a link and the name of your forum, heres an example:





I enter h**p//oharascans.com/oharateam.gif   in that field

[giveaway365.com]

In first box i have put this:
http://www.giveaway365.com/Themes/default/images/giveaway365.png
What to put in seconf box?

Other thing is that in the demo link when u click on like the color changes and then if you do mouse over it shows a text area to write comments. In my forum ir does not happen. what is the problem?

My forum like is http://www.giveaway365.com

[mirahalo]

did you just create the application?   give it some time to work properly, it appears that the new  JavaScript SDK have som problems,   the box for comments doesn't always shows,   your button seems to work fine, give it a couple of days for the application work properly.

Hi guys,

Can i request for a help..

Stupid question - how do you move it to a different place other than the default?

(Fantastic Mod btw)

[mirahalo]

@azhriel   try this two, install the mod, even with the rror show, then replace the files with the ones attached,  you have the SA facebook connect mod and theres a big chance the like button wont work properly because incompatibilities beteween facebook old code and the new javascriptSDK


@PurpleCrow   there´s no such thing as a stupid question   where exactly do you want it?

Thanks i'll try it

[PurpleCrow]

@PurpleCrow   there´s no such thing as a stupid question   where exactly do you want it?

I'm not sure    Was just wondering what other places it could be put in 

[mirahalo]

well   it could be anywhere really,  its just a simple code: 

<fb:like href="', urlencode($page_url) ,'"  width="', $modSettings['share_likebutton_with'] ,'"></fb:like>


you could even put it on index.template  and have it on all your pages

[PurpleCrow]

Ooo I like the idea of having it on the main index...

What about the icons? Is it possible to change those, the new ones being bigger?

[mirahalo]

yes, you can use your own icons if you want, I've been looking for new ones  unfortunately I didn't find icons for all the social networks the mod use who where the same size and style. 

just replace the images in /Themes/your_theme/images/share  folder  with your own, just make sure you keep the file name

the icons can also be moved anywhere you want

[Arantor]

Well the original ones I added... I made those with GIMP from the original logos.

I like the ones used but what I would prefer to do is use larger ones and center them.

[mirahalo]

to center the icons on your display.template search for this:

<div class="plainbox" style="text-align: left;">', $social_icons, '</div>

and change the style="text-align: left  for style="text-align: center

@Arantor, thanks,  i downloaded those icons, pretty good ones unfortunately I still  missing a few, but thats a start
