Facebook Like Button

Well, utter cr..... Unfortunately, this is all about utilizing the Facebook code - not manipulating it. The instructions say that meta tag is required.

Yeah, i know, nothing wrong with your code or the module.
Just tought it would be good to post here, in case anyone else comes acroos this, may save someone some time/frustrations

Thanks,
Jeroen

Hey. Firstly, thanks for this mod, this was requested by my client and I don't know what I would have done without it! But I do have an issue...

Everything works fine when I'm logged out of my zen cart, but when use the secure server I get the error message 'The app ID specified within the "fb:app_id" meta tag is not allowed on this domain. You must setup the Connect Base Domains for your app to be a prefix'. I'm quite sure this is down to me using a shared ssl certificate temporarily, therefore the url I entered into the facebook app doesn't match the secure one on my host server (server.hostssl.net/mywebaddress). Assuming I'm right, I just wanted to check... can I assume that once I get the dedicated certificate facebook will be happy that https://www.myaddress.com is the same as http:// and not throw up this error? I imagine you guys are bouncing between secure and non-secure connections with no trouble?

Thanks in advance

You have to alter your settings in Facebook using Insights for the domain. When you are logged into your Facebook admin account, you should have a my apps link on the left hand side. Click on the website address for your like button and edit settings. I think under website there will be a blank where you can put in the base url (no https or www - just the domain name. If I'm wrong, my apologies but this is a Facebook thing!

Hi Delia,

Thanks heaps for putting your work up here for people to use. It's very much appreciated!

I've installed it and have a couple of comments. I used the manual installation as the site is still on 1.3.8

The first is that the Like buttons load very slowly and I can see the status bar message sitting and waiting for Facebook until it finally shows up. I expect this is beyond the control of the mod?

And the other comment is just that there's an error in the readme file: It refers to tpl_product_info.php in a few places, but the file is in fact tpl_product_info_display.php

Thanks again
Rob

Yep, it's slower than molasses and I don't have a clue. I'm aware of the mistake in the instructions.
