Facebook "Like" button on every product page?

**lankeeyankee** · 8 Sep 2010, 01:30 PM

I added the code and got the Like button to appear but for some reason it's using the last image on the product_info page which is usually from the "customers also purchased" section. This only happens when you post a comment when adding a Like. Anyone else get this behavior? Any ideas?

Hey everyone,

great addition, hopefully a quick question for everyone:

When I click the like button my facebook feed reads: "Rowan likes test product [1.1] - $0.90 : Zen Cart!, The Art of E-commerce."

I've edited the meta_tags php file, but I can't seem to shake this tag.

Store link

I'm currently running v1.3.9f, pureblue template, canada post module, and lightbox module

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Working for me, just liked it and saw your pony meta tag and not the stock zc tag. Interestingly, I did not get the image showing even if I added a comment(see my above post). So it's all good for your site, you have to remember to clear the browser cache and page cookies sometimes to see changes.

I'm really impressed with this as it's worked well when you click the share (to facebook) button, but if I click the like button it doesn't show up on my list of likes in facebook. Is there a slight delay on it?

ver 1.3.9c

Well my Facebook LIKE button has worked fine for the past several months. But, within the last week or 2 , when I hit it, I login to FB, but it does NOT post to my FB Wall.

See here on any product page, please try and see if you have success.

Hey there,

referring to post #29, hey_you talks about a method of controlling the image that is displayed on the facebook page after a 'like' button is clicked. I've tried this method but cannot get it to work. Has anyone else got it to work or found another way of doing it?

Thanks.

On my site I just created a file called jscript_fbimage.php with the following code inside

Code:

<?php
  /**
   * Add "image_src" link to <head> section for current product's image
   */
  $sql = "select p.products_id, p.products_image
           from   " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p
           where  p.products_status = '1'
           and    p.products_id = '" . (int)$_GET['products_id'] . "'";
  $product_info = $db->Execute($sql);

  $products_image = $product_info->fields['products_image'];
  if ($products_image == '' and PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE_STATUS == '1') {
    $products_image = PRODUCTS_IMAGE_NO_IMAGE;
  }
  if ($products_image != '') {
    require(DIR_WS_MODULES . zen_get_module_directory(FILENAME_MAIN_PRODUCT_IMAGE));
?>
<link rel="image_src" href="<?php echo HTTP_SERVER . DIR_WS_CATALOG . $products_image_medium; ?>" />
<?php  }

and threw it in the includes/modules/pages/product_info folder.

I'm not using the FB Like button because I cannot get it to work so I gave up, but it still works if someone shares to FB through AddThis , etc...

Hi khopek,

thanks for the post.
I have the FB 'like' button almost working so I'd prefer to stick with that.
What's not working:
1. The product name is repeated (and also there is a price and general store info that I would like to remove)
2. The image posted in facebook is the VISA image:

Is there a solution to these?
I would prefer to remove the image altogether if it can't be fixed. Any ideas?

Thanks.

I'm fairly certain the solution I posted for you will work just fine for pulling the correct image. It came from another zenner when I needed help getting the correct image to show when things were shared to facebook. All the code is doing selecting the product id and corresponding image.
