Facebook Like Button

[DarkAngel]

not sure what to tell you then, the spider really isn't harmful but if you don't care for it then to remove the mod you just need to remove the files you uploaded and all the edits you did for it....basically the reverse of what you did to upload it.

Hi All ,im using 1.3.9h I have install the Facebook like button as override the files but its doesn't work well as i have customized template , so i have to do it manually by editing the tpl_product_info.php , html_header.php , but my question about the metatags.php , this file is not in my original files ! do i need to add it or i can work without this file ?

also regarding the Facebook user photo beside the like icon ! can i remove it ?
the link for the issues and bugs about this addon is not working so i have no clue
Appreciate your answers

The metatags file is in your installation includes/modules. You need to place the new one in your override directory(or create one) under modules. It is essential in order to get the correct information to show up on Facebook when someone clicks the like button. You cannot change the graphics though because the like button pulls from Facebook and there's little than can be changed. There's more information at http://developers.facebook.com/docs/.../plugins/like/

I have been using this mod for a long time---since 1.38, but right now i created a fresh store, all freebies so it is a showcase setup with no need to have accounts since i put a download link in the descript page for items....

I installed the mod and it won't show up anywhere, I even put the code in manually from my live store where it works flawlessly. I have removed it now from this WIP store of 1.3.9h, since n sale items I did not think 1.5 was needed.

the template is Ebony and ivory : http://samwilson3d.com/ebony/

which by the way does not look like the description of it says...it do look like the demo so am happy.

anyidea what I might have done wrong, I have removed the coding totally [[hence no link to it]] since no matter where i had it to show it would only do a big gap with no words nor FB image even...which I on my live store have it with a small FB button not their own button.

or maybe I should ask in his template thread if there is one...no big deal just thought to ask in case anyone else uses this template and runs into the problem too.

Thanks for the information

DarkAngel,

I also like the Ebony & Ivory template; it is very striking and attactive...and unique. I like and have tested several of his templates: S E X Y, Alien Stemware and Ebony & Ivory.

The main problems with Ebony and Ivory, for me, can be seen here on this product:

http://samwilson3d.com/ebony/index.p...products_id=34

The prev/next buttons, attributes and additional photos stacked-up in a single line or column. Contact Us back/send buttons stacked up. Virtually everything left-aligned, such as Add to Cart. Kind of like the template is trying to be a "responsive" template, but doesn't really become all that responsive - just fluid width. Also, in IE compatability view the header area gets similarly messed-up.

Wish he had a support thread, but if we post on the Templates forum someone might come along who can help.

Unless one likes the template as-is.

IMO, though, he does produce some of the more interesting and unique templates. (Very few use his S E X Y template and main product image as intended...and which is very striking itself. But major IE compatability view problem.)


*NOTE: He did reply to email some time back when I was testing the S E X Y template; perhaps he still will.

I am unable to get this to work. Can somebody please take a look and help me figure out why it's not working?

* I am being asked to 'confirm' when liking the product
* No image is displaying
* Post is not displaying on FB
* Post to facebook button does nothing

I also tried adding a FB like button in the tpl_header.php file, but it also wanted a confirm and then it displayed an invalid image and META_TAG_FBTITLE.

Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you so much!

Everything is there as it should be but you are also running another like button at the top of your site. You can't run both and expect the product one to work as well. The top button works fine.

[kjmichal]

Yes, I finally got the top one to work, however, the product one never worked correctly...even without the like button on the main page.

Any other suggestions?

[delia]

Not without me going on your site and checking everything. But what I was saying is that if you have the top button working correctly and it shows the like correctly on facebook, then then perhaps you installed something wrong that I can't see - such as the metatags file in modules. If you have the product button working, then the top button will not show up correctly on facebook. One or the other at this point with the mod as it stands written now.
