I'm trying to use the Facebook Like Button Configurator to generate the Like button for a facebook page URL but it's not showing up:
Here are the steps I performed:
Goto https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button#configurator
Type in 'https://www.facebook.com/LoveJadot/' in the 'URL to Like' textfield and hit tab to move to the next field.
The Like button does not appear below.
It does, however, work for all other facebook pages. Our client wants to know if this is a facebook issue and if so, what's the solution?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Facebook is making a few changes when it comes to promoting alcohol. Many groups and campaigns are being affected by this change.
Unfortunately we can't say for now what Facebook will end up doing. And there is no way around it at the moment(at least they did not communicate one yet).

Im using Facebook's like button plugin on my own website product pages, also using opengraph tags
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
Everything seems to work fine, the problem is when people 'like' a product, the comment box shows up but if they leave it empty only single line is posted on their feed like:
Jon Doe has liked "title here".
But when they write that comment when they click Like or even post the the link manually all the image,text,description information is correctly displayed.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Well, that’s the basic difference between a like and a share. Since Facebook has merged these to functionalities into one social plugin, it’s up to the user which action he takes.
The old share button has been deprecated, so not much use in implementing it now, because even if it’s still possible(?) it will stop working eventually.
If you want shares instead of likes, your one alternative IMHO is implementing the Feed Dialog on your site, triggered by a click on a button of you own making.
I'm hoping that someone can help me out with this problem that I've been trying to solve all day. It appears as though there is a new 'Like' button on certain Facebook Fan Pages. When a user hits this button a dialog box appears that says.... "Help your friends discover great places to visit by writing a recommendation for 'Fan Page Name'". There is space to include a recommendation and 2 buttons; 'recommend' or 'skip'.
My team have developed a fangated promotion for this client (which lives on a separate canvas page). With the typical 'Like' button functionality the user likes the page and is automatically taken to the canvas page promotion. As a result of this new 'Like' button (whether the user chooses to recommend or not) the are automatically redirected back to the main Wall and can only access the canvas promotion by clicking on the correct icon in the left column.(Needless to say this is resulting in a lot of traffic being lost.)
I have 3 questions here;
Any ideas on how to remove this 'Recommend' dialog box and revert back to the normal 'Like' button
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to allow the user click 'Like' (recommend or not) and arrive at the correct canvas page without the redirect back to the Wall?
Do you have any insight on how FB are choosing which pages to roll this new 'Like' button out to?
Thanks in advance!
It's a facebook bug for places pages
temporary workaround is to remove the address from your fan page ... still looking for a coding workaround so please post if you have one!!
I am developing a Facebook page for fans only. When a user lands on my page I am able to determine if it is a fan or not and display content appropriately. In the last few days I have noticed that non fans that land on my page and click on the native tab like button the page doesn't refresh to display the fan content.
What do I do about it? I haven't changed anything on my code to cause this. It just stopped working.
I didn't encounter such problems, but if you need a solution, try to subscribe to the edge.create event: https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.Event.subscribe/
This way, you will be able to detect if someone clicks a like button and, if the like button for your page is clicked, you can redirect the users back on your tab, like a sort of refresh
Sounds like it might be a Facebook bug, nothing in your code should have any affect on the native like button.

I'm trying to add a facebook "like" button to my page, and it is appearing just fine. My problem is that once it is clicked by a user, it says "Like NUMBER" then resets as if the request was canceled or something.
The weird thing is that if I try to like a page using my facebook account it works, but I tried letting a friend like some content and this behavior appeared.
I created a facebook app, specified the site url with a trailing slash, and site domain. I used the app ID with FB.init, and with the open graph tags. I can't figure what I'm doing wrong here. Any help would be appreciated.

First, for the count to work correctly, Facebook needs to have access to the page (in other words a public page). Check your URL in the linter tool (https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) to ensure it can been seen by Facebook.
Secondly, ensure your og: tags are correctly setup. Once again, you can use the linter tool to do that.
Facebook like buttons will show this behavior until they have been scraped by Facebook. That scraping (facebook like docs) will occur every 24 hours, when an admin clicks the like button or the url is put in the url debugger/linter. From what I can tell doing that will solve the problem for that specific link, but not any others you may have on your site.
I don't know of a generic solution for dynamically generated pages unfortunately.
I'm trying to figure out how to add a Fan button to a Facebook page right next to the company name. I've seen this done on a few pages, as shown in the following screenshot.
I've added the FBML application though I can't find a great deal of information on the code required for the actual button and then how to place the button on the page. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Many thanks.
For pages, that button is automatically handled by Facebook. If you are already a Fan of the page, the button won't appear. You should be able to "unfan" the page in your account settings.
The FBML application lets you add arbitrary FBML to the "box" that represents that application. It has nothing to do with the Fan button.
Visit the url that lets you edit your page information, on the right had side you should see something along the lines of "Promote with a fan box" -- that should be what you're looking for.
If you want to do it by hand you can use the fb:fan tag (http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/index.php/Fb:fan)
Thanks guys. Yep I delved into the hacks for this using FBML though eventually logged out and logged in with a different account and lo and behold! Facebook add this Fan Button by default now.
