Facebook sidebox -Support Thread

[kazbryan]

I know this is an old thread, but I wondered if anyone else has been having this problem...

I have the Facebook Sidebox on my client's cart and it's fine if you're not logged in to Facebook, or are logged in but aren't already a fan. However, if you're logged in and are a fan you don't see the proper feed, just location information from the page owner.

Has anyone else had this problem, or can anyone suggest how to fix this?

Thanks in advance

Yep. Still works. Facebook occasionally changes their code making the facebook sidebox code unusable. All you need to do is update the code.

I follow Kerrin Hardy's code for the Fanbox Sidebox but have had to update the code (twice in its inception) to reflect the following.

Where it says to type the code in tpl_main_page.php file from includes/templates/template_default/common, the code there is old. The new one needs to be replaced with is

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=286105648151075";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

And everything else is the same.
