Facebook Like Button

I'm thinking that it could be a timing issue. Check to see how large the images are that don't show up. If they are a bigger file than the other images, then that could be the answer.

thanks, that is the one thing I did not think of...yes we were having pretty large images and I can experiment with recreating the images in a smaller size.

I checked to se if it was because some were png and others might be gif then jpg but never thought of the size.

thanks will let you know

well tried making some of the no shows to be 700x700 which is smaller than the ones that are 800x800 and the ones that are 1100x1100 (the beginning sizes before image handler and they still do not wish to show up so not sure what is the problem.

I even got this one:

got the original image I have on my computer then shrank it to 700x700 and did a "save for web". Reuploaded it and the silly girl still won't show up in the fb dialog box...so am still not sure.

but will experiment with the ones I find that will not show in the fb dialog...lol

I've installed this add-on on my local site to check it out before loading on my website.

a couple things I need help with.

#1) What do I do with, or where to do I put the XFBML from Facebook?

#2) Why doesn't the Like button show up on my main page? It does show up when a product is selected.

700 x 700 is dang large still. My rule of thumb is 500 x 500 and many times I go to 450 or 400 depending on what the product is.

Serious:
This is for adding the like button to the product pages only. If you are seeing it on those pages then you've installed the mod correctly. If the like button is working then that's all there is for now.

I do have a modified version for placing a like button anywhere else in the cart. PM me if you are interested.

Thanks, I like it on the product page only but will pm you anyway since I may change my mind---you never know and since I am female tis my perogative...lol

The promo images are ginormous for we are a 3d art store and this way they can really see what they get really good. It is weird that some of the 1100 ones will go to facebook but some of the smaller ones won't..who knows, at lesast it works

thanks for this wonderful addition.

i use seo url, for the product www.site.com/aaa-p-10.html, like button record was 51, then i changed the product name to bbb, the current url is www.site.com/bbb-p-10.html, like button record becomes to 0, is it possible to make it back to 51?

I doubt it but that's a question for facebook as it's their rules.

Hi Delia, can you post the modified version?

I have the like button working on products, it gets the proper info and images. I have modified the code a bit to display on my homepage, works fine but gets first image on the page, IE the "For All pets" tab.

site is: http:// habitathaven .com

Here is my homepage code, changed php echo to home URL and works fine, just need to select a static image via metatags or hard coded.

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
 window.fbAsyncInit = function() {
FB.init({appId: '158346437554948', 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 href="http://habitathaven.com/"></fb:like>

My includes/modules/custom_template/meta_tags.php

//added  p.products_image for facebook opengraph / like button
  $sql= "select pd.products_name, p.products_model, p.products_price_sorter, p.products_tax_class_id, p.products_image,
                                      p.metatags_title_status, p.metatags_products_name_status, p.metatags_model_status,
                                      p.products_id, p.metatags_price_status, p.metatags_title_tagline_status,
                                      pd.products_description, p.product_is_free, p.product_is_call,
                                      mtpd.metatags_title, mtpd.metatags_keywords, mtpd.metatags_description
                              from (" . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd) left join " . TABLE_META_TAGS_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " mtpd on mtpd.products_id = p.products_id and mtpd.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "'
                              where p.products_id = '" . (int)$_GET['products_id'] . "'
                              and p.products_id = pd.products_id
                              and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "'";

  $product_info_metatags = $db->Execute($sql);
  if ($product_info_metatags->EOF) {
    $meta_tags_over_ride = true;
  } else {

As a Wordpress guy I want to use "if_is_home" or similar, or maybe define home meta tags like;
// Home Page Only:
define('HOME_PAGE_META_DESCRIPTION'

Any ideas?

Thanks

one important change i had to make to get the like button behave without some weird stuff on some pages was to comment out this og property:

<!--<meta property="og:type" content="product" />-->

For some reason some of the pages i was unable to like, while others just showed wrong pictures. After this change it seems to have solved these problems
