[MOD] Facebook like/share/send button

[comicart]

I hate to ask for help.  I really tried everything to remedy this issue by following instructions and then following a fix that was similar to the problem I'm having.

What I have is - when clicking on the "LIKE" button, is a brief white-looking small pop-up that disappears before anything happens... before I can type into a window.  So essentially, I click the "LIKE" button and it adds a "1" to the button, then goes back to just a "LIKE" button.  Facebook doesn't recognize the "LIKE" either.

I know this isn't right.  Can you tutor me a bit here?

Code: [Select]

My site URL is http://www.richardhasawebsite.com
Be aware that my site is adult only.

Thank you so much and sorry for needing your time!

That's one of the reasons I changed mine to a "Share" button.

@thomseye and everyone else with same issue,
Don't feel bad asking for help, this is how I know something is wrong. I think I know what the problem is but I need to do some more testing this weekend before I know for certain.

Everyone hold tight and I will post what I find. It is suppose to rain all weekend so I should have plenty of time to work on it.

PS: I am regretting ever starting with facebook connectors  
They need better documentation and help. I am learning more from other programmers that are having the same problems then I ever did with facebooks help area.
But I think I am onto something...

Thanks for all your hard work Buddy.

Here is my Facebook adventure in a nutshell...

Even though it does not state in the documentation that you have to have an application setup on facebook to have a Like button,
from all the people I have talked with and other sites I looked over that seem to be working correctly,
You DO have to create an application on Facebook's website to get the Like button to work correctly.
That being said, Version 3 of this mod now has this built in and all my testing has been successfull and I even have added a new feature to it.

How do you create an application on Facebook?
It isn't that difficult, but they do now require that you are verified user to do it.
You will either need to give them your credit card # or cell phone #.
I did the cell phone route and then just turned off all notifactions going to my cell phone, so it won't be going aff all day long.
After I did that setting up the application was easy...
Go to this link
http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php
Give your application a name.
In the set up page you have different fields to enter, but only these are needed
Click on the "website" menu option on the left.
"Site url", you should enter the root of your gallery, for the example: "http://www.yourwebsite.com/gallery/" (Don't forget the last / )
"Site Domain", you should enter the root of your site, for the example: "yourwebsite.com"
Take note of the "application ID", (write down or be ready to copy this information)
and save everything and your application should be ready.
You can create multiple applications under one user account, so you can do this for multiple domains that you are running.
One thing, if you are listed as an admin for the pages, you may see something different posted when you like a page, you will see a link to an admin page to do more things to your pages. Not sure of its purpose yet, but I had to create another account that I could use for testing to make sure the likes are posted correctly for normal users.

Bugs, Bugs, Bugs...
Of course there are a few bugs that you may run into using the like button on your site.
Here are a couple that I know about in case they start happening to you,
They all seem to be Internet Explorer related
1. On IE6,IE7,IE8(compatability mode) all seem to keep refreshing the webpage till the browser crashes. I do know Facebook is looking into it.
2. On IE browsers the popup comment window sometimes does not render correclty
   (post button chopped off at bottom)
   (Window does not go away after posting)
   So far they are saying to user the "standard" layout for the like button with a width of 450 (not good for category pages, but OK for detail pages)
3. If you have multiple Admins listed for a page, only the first admin can actually admin the page. Facebook is aware of this.

With all that being said, Please load up version 3 of my mod and let me know how it is working for you...

Recheck step #1 and 2b, the code has changed for version 3 that should have taken care of that. Or you can zip your changed files and I can take a look at them for you...

@ Mailoo,
It looks like everything is correct...
The only leftover code I saw was in your header.html file
remove

Code: [Select]

{endif page_details}
Also, since you are not using the facebook admins, you may want to also remove from the header.html file

Code: [Select]

<meta property="fb:admins" content="{fb_admins}"/>
I will be making a change to not place that admin info in the header if it is blank. I saw some people complaining about it on Facebook's boards.

The meta properties seem to be correct now so your main link should be now correct.

[comicart]

So...
What's wrong with continuing to use version 2.0?
It works for me.

The only thing that version 3 gives you that 2 did not was if you were going to have a like button for your main website and not the thumbnails.
When the code was rendered in version 2, it would give garbage for the main site link unless you were in the details page.
Version 3 now renders the header info for your main site on all pages except the details page so your main like button will work for your site, but if you do not have one then version 2 should still be fine.

mr. budduke

thank you very much, for your hard work

can you plz see the attachment image.

[budduke]

@ mailoo,
You are requesting that the Category name will be diplayed for the image description instead of the image description. That would take a different sql call to make that happen. Not sure if anyone else would want that or not so I am posting the change here for anyone who is interested.

Replace the insert you did in Step #1 with this code and it should change it for you...

Code: [Select]

//[MOD] Facebook Like Button
if ($array["details"]){
$sql = "SELECT i.image_name, i.cat_id, i.image_media_file, i.image_description, c.cat_name
FROM (".IMAGES_TABLE." i,  ".CATEGORIES_TABLE." c)
WHERE i.image_id = $image_id AND i.cat_id = c.cat_id AND image_active = 1";
$image_row = $site_db->query_firstrow($sql);
$facebook['image'] = get_file_path($image_row['image_media_file'], "thumb", $image_row['cat_id'], 0, 1);
$facebook['image'] = $script_url.substr($facebook['image'],1);
$facebook['title'] = $image_row['image_name'];
$facebook['type'] = "article";//this is what facebook says images should be filed under
$facebook['description'] = !empty($image_row['cat_name']) ? strip_tags($image_row['cat_name']) : "";
$facebook['url1'] = $site_sess->url($script_url."/".$self_url);
if (strpos($facebook['url1'],"&")){
$facebook['url1']=substr($facebook['url1'],0,strpos($facebook['url1'],"&"));
}
}
else{
$facebook['image'] = $config['fb_image'];
$facebook['title'] = $config['fb_title'];
$facebook['type'] = "website";// types setting for your default website
$facebook['description'] = strip_tags($config['fb_description']);
$facebook['url1'] = $config['fb_main_url'];
}
$facebook['main_url']= $config['fb_main_url'];
$site_template->register_vars(array(
"fb_title" => $facebook['title'],
"fb_image" => $facebook['image'],
"fb_type" => $facebook['type'],
"fb_desc" => $facebook['description'],
"fb_url1" => $facebook['url1'],
"fb_main_url" => $facebook['main_url'],
"fb_appid" => $config['fb_appid'],
"fb_admins" => $config['fb_admins'],
"fb_language" => ($lang['fb_language']) ? $lang['fb_language'] : $config['fb_language']
)
);
unset($facebook, $image_row);

[mailoo]

yaaa wow great work my friend

your code is correct but, i make small edit to work 100%

you forget this line:

Code: [Select]

$facebook['title'] = $image_row['image_name'];
should be change to:

Code: [Select]

$facebook['title'] = $image_row['cat_name'];
and a right final code:

Code: [Select]

//[MOD] Facebook Like Button
if ($array["details"]){
$sql = "SELECT i.image_name, i.cat_id, i.image_media_file, i.image_description, c.cat_name
FROM (".IMAGES_TABLE." i,  ".CATEGORIES_TABLE." c)
WHERE i.image_id = $image_id AND i.cat_id = c.cat_id AND image_active = 1";
$image_row = $site_db->query_firstrow($sql);
$facebook['image'] = get_file_path($image_row['image_media_file'], "thumb", $image_row['cat_id'], 0, 1);
$facebook['image'] = $script_url.substr($facebook['image'],1);
$facebook['title'] = $image_row['cat_name'];
$facebook['type'] = "article";//this is what facebook says images should be filed under
$facebook['description'] = !empty($image_row['cat_name']) ? strip_tags($image_row['cat_name']) : "";
$facebook['url1'] = $site_sess->url($script_url."/".$self_url);
if (strpos($facebook['url1'],"&")){
$facebook['url1']=substr($facebook['url1'],0,strpos($facebook['url1'],"&"));
}
}
else{
$facebook['image'] = $config['fb_image'];
$facebook['title'] = $config['fb_title'];
$facebook['type'] = "website";// types setting for your default website
$facebook['description'] = strip_tags($config['fb_description']);
$facebook['url1'] = $config['fb_main_url'];
}
$facebook['main_url']= $config['fb_main_url'];

Mr. budduke
thank u 4 this mod. great work

Also you can add this code anywhere in details.html

Code: [Select]

<div id="fb-root"></div><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:comments href="http://domain.com/gallery/img{image_id}.htm" num_posts="2" width="500"></fb:comments>replace domain.com with your domain link.

that code allow users to add comments to images in your gallery by using Facebook account.
