Facebook Like Button

[BlessIsaacola]

Thanks for that information. I'll include this link in the documentation. It's not about how the like button appears - but about problems with search engines. The article includes suggestions to implement but also suggests not using the XFBML Like button and using only the iframe button in the meantime. A choice not an option if you have a secure cart. The iframe will throw an error on secure pages.

Do continue posting problem reports here but remember I am a Zen Cart developer not a Facebook developer. I only followed the directions given by Facebook to create this mod. It does seem to be working but I will hold it for a while longer to see what else crops up.

This is also another solution option for those that care about the Facebook fb_xd_fragment bug. http://forum.developers.facebook.net...php?pid=271194 post #11

I'm not seeing that happening in firefox on the site I've tested this on. Again what browser? Please try in both Firefox and IE and let me know the results.

It's not working in either FF or IE. It was working originally which means it could be a problem with FB. Do you have a site where this is working so I can test just to make sure it's not a localized problem for me.

Thanks!

I actually just tested it on one of your sites: http://regimental-books.com.au/shop/...chuting-p-1632 and it's not working either in IE of FF...I am guessing it maybe a Facebook problem since it was working originally but how do we solve the problem.

It's strange because the image shows when you check with the URL Linter but when it posts to Facebook the image is gone and replaced with a generic image.

Well now that's just strange. I just posted one to facebook and it's definitely still with the post.


Anybody else?

as to the FBXML bug mentioned before - it supposedly can be fixed or something but putting this right before the ending body tag (which would be in yourtemplate/common/tp_main_page.php:

<!-- Correct fb_xd_fragment Bug Start -->
<script>
document.getElementsByTagName('html')[0].style.display='block';
</script>
<!-- Correct fb_xd_fragment Bug End -->

I can put it up on the site I developed this for but can't really test to see if it works.

The code suggested above works because I have it implemented in production. If that code is not implemented, it sends user to a blank page if they arrived via one of the infected/corrupted url.

Are you saying you're not having any issue with image posting back to facebook? I have had another friend of mine try both on our site and the site I posted for you and neither of us get the image to show up.

We are both geographically in the same city so if this issue is related to Facebook server serinng our location it maybe why but we are seeing the problem but you're not.

I am struggling for answers...I know it has to be a Facebook problem just wish I know what't going on.

Thanks!

PS. Would you kindly please like a page from our site and see if the image shows? Thanks!

Exactly, I'm not having a problem with that.

I just did it from your site and it worked. I got no explanation. I used both IE8 and Firefox

Thanks for trying it on our site. At least it's good to know it's working on your end which means the code and implementation is okay. Now, it's going to be interesting to dig deep to see if I can find what's causing the issue from my end.

Thanks!

The XFBML dynamically re-sizes its height according to whether there are profile pictures to display, gives you the ability (through the Javascript library) to listen for like events so that you know in real time when a user clicks the Like button, and it always gives the user the ability to add an optional comment to the like.

Does anybody know how to implement the feature to know in real time when a user clicks the Like button?

Thanks!

I added the code to the product_info template that is what is needed to send the stats to your facebook account.

The instructions for use are here:

http://forum.developers.facebook.net...273143#p273143

There's a thing called Insights for facebook accounts. Once it's activated, you will get some reporting at facebook.

Thanks for the clarification. I am not sure if the insights (which I already have) is the same thing here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/...vent.subscribe

When your time permits and you're able to help me troubleshoot why image is not showing on our like, I'd appreciate that. Thanks!
