Facebook "Like" button on every product page?

[solidrock]

It puts the Like button there fine, and says that I "Like" it when I click it, but then it gives me an error message, and when I click on it, it says, "The page at http://mysite.com/index.php?main_page=product_info could not be reached."

Any ideas how to fix that?

On a product_info page that code will produce this in the html:

http://domain.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath= 65 &products_id=181

Or whatever the details are. It will produce that wherever you put it as long as it is not already in <?php ?> tags in which case you'd need to remove the ones in my code.

So you could just put that code somewhere at the top of the page and you will see what it is outputing.

What you actually want to do is this:

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/widgets/like.php?href=<?php echo zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page((int)$_GET['products_id']),'cPath= '.(int)$_GET['cPath'].' &products_id=' . (int)$_GET['products_id']); ?>"
        scrolling="no" frameborder="0"
        style="border:none; width:450px; height:80px"></iframe>

But looking at it again I am not sure that the whole plan is going to work in that I am not sure the system will deal with the dynamic URL anyway. What that means is that I am not sure how the system will deal with the bit after the question mark. It might or it might not.

Using IE 8

this is what it looks like in firefox - is this different or are you expecting something else....

Yes, looks cleaner in FF. It doesn't have a white box around the Like It button like in IE8.

Another question. If there anyway to get the Like It posts to include an Image of the product? Like when we post on our Facebook "WALL" or "NOTES" , it pulls the image from the URL. Would be great if could get the Like IT code to ALSO pull the Image.

This and some of the rest of the thread is getting into issues with the facebook end of the thing. And I have to say that I know diddly squat about facebook....

But maybe someone else has better knowledge than I

I changed my coding on the header page so that now the Like button works without giving me that error message. Go to this page, download the file, and then copy the facebook section to your header page, and it should work:

Here's what I did...I'm not sure if it's the best way, but it works!

Do this at your own risk!!! Back-up all files first!

in "includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\common\html_header.php"

I placed this below the meta tag for "generator":

<?php if(strstr($_GET['main_page'], 'product_')) { ?>
    <meta property="og:title" content="<?php echo META_TAG_FBTITLE; ?>"/>
    <meta property="og:site_name" content="<?php echo TITLE; ?>"/>
    <meta property="og:image" content="<?php echo META_TAG_FBIMG; ?>"/>
    <meta property="og:type" content="product"/>
    <meta property="og:phone_number" content="ENTER PHONE NUMBER"/>
    <meta property="og:region" content="ENTER STATE CODE"/>
    <meta property="og:country-name" content="ENTER Country"/>
    <meta property="fb:admins" content="ENTER FB USERID"/>
<?php } ?>

Note that the above only works on product pages not document pages.

There's also many more meta tags that FB recognizes it. Take a look at their developer resources for me info...
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph

in "includes\modules\meta_tags.php"

Add the change in red to the query on (or around) line 200:

$sql= "select pd.products_name, p.products_model, p.products_price_sorter, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_image,
                                      p.metatags_title_status, p.metatags_products_name_status, p.metatags_model_status,
                                      p.products_id, p.metatags_price_status, p.metatags_title_tagline_status,
                                      pd.products_description, p.product_is_free, p.product_is_call,
                                      mtpd.metatags_title, mtpd.metatags_keywords, mtpd.metatags_description

I've inserted the following code at line 284 (for me), between the following lines in blue:

    } // CUSTOM META TAGS
    if($product_info_metatags->fields['products_image']!='') {
        $FBimgURL = (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER . DIR_WS_HTTPS_CATALOG : HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG ) . DIR_WS_IMAGES . $product_info_metatags->fields['products_image'];
        define('META_TAG_FBIMG', $FBimgURL); 
    } else {
        define('META_TAG_FBIMG', '');
    }
    define('META_TAG_FBTITLE', str_replace('"','',zen_clean_html($product_info_metatags->fields['products_name'])));
  } // EOF
  break;

And than follow the other instructions in this thread for editing tpl_product_info_display

I hope this helps.

I've tried changing my tpl_product_info_display.php file, as instructed, but nothing changed on my page. Why not?
