How to remove the “Facebook social plugin” text?
I am new to facebook social plugins and i wanted to customize css of social plugins provided by facebook. Basically i want to change the way like logo and facepile is displayed. I want to show faces from facepile in circle rather than rectangular box.
I have read facebook developer docs but there isn't much documentation about how to customize social plugins. I also searched it on stackoverflow and other websites but the answer given there are not working as facebook has changed social plugin on NOV 7,2012.
I also read solution on line 25 website and on stackoverflow
but both are not working. Any help will be appreciated.
Actually, you can (or could) make some plugins a little bit customized.
In the Like Box or Fan Box you could add a external CSS file from a parameter &css= at the iframe src call. But it seems stopped work at last days.
Anyone got that problem too? I'm searching for a anwser, but didnt find nothing.
No you can't update or override css of facebook plugins because most plugins of facebook rendered in iframe.

I'm trying to embed YouTube videos onto my Silverstripe site, using the page editor. We're having problems with two different ways of embedding.
Editor's Insert Media:
When I click the editor's "Insert Media" button I choose "From the web" and paste in the YouTube URL. However I need to hide related videos, so to do this we need to add "&rel=0" to the end of the URL. When I do this the "Insert Media" option doesn't work.
iFrame:
So instead I tried to use the embed code provided by Google. I went to he text editor and inserted it. The iframe works, however the editor strips off the "allowfullscreen" tag from the iframe - which means users cannot watch the video in full screen.
So I either have to show related videos, which I don't want to do. Or I need to block users from being able to watch it in full screen mode - which again I don't want to do.
We're running on Silverstripe 3.3.
Is there any way to stop Silverstripe from stripping the allowfullscreen tag? Or to have Silverstripe still process the YouTube URL if we put rel=0 on the end?
Alternatively, does anyone know if this has this been solved in 3.4, 3.5 or 3.6?
Before posting this I have done over 45 mins of thorough searching for an answer, including through Silverstripe forums (which are now discontinued), here on Stackoverflow and the Google group. Plus I worked my way through a number of the change logs of 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 for anything related to iframes and YouTube, but was not able to find things specific to this problem.
The TinyMCE editor in a different CMS I use does not strip out the allowfullscreen tag from iframes. So it seems specific to Silverstripe's implementation of the editor.
Direct answer to your question would be to amend the tinymce config to include more attributes for the frame by setting the "extended_valid_elements"
https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/3/developer_guides/forms/field_types/htmleditorfield/#setting-options
Alternative way would be to introduce new shortcode : https://docs.silverstripe.org/en/3/developer_guides/extending/shortcodes/
Latter would be more user safe to some extend.
How do you implement custom css on a Facebook activity feed plugin? This related post does not fully answer the question. Is this the right way?
Where does the
<fb:tag name='link'></fb:tag>
go? Inside of of the
<fb:activity site="..." app_id="..." ></fb:activity>
outside of it, before or after? I'm sort of confused...
the only way i use activity feed is when its in a widget that will generically upate in all posts. Anyone who inserts these snippets into blog posts or other 'hard to find and edit later' posts and pages, will regret it
Why?
Because Facebook changes their script every month or so and the script snippet you inserted wont work anymore
I have hundreds of blank areas in blog posts where i inserted an activity feed and the script always stops working after some weeks when fb adds some code or changes the location of some script or renames a file and the old script has no canonical or generic way of readjusting.
There is no point in using a script which gets made obsolete every month and you then need to find all posts where you inserted the snippet and change it for the new working code.
Im always having to reinsert new code into my fb social widgets because they cease to function...
Not viable unless you take it into consideration. Only insert in spaces where oyu wil notice it when it stops working
As Facebook Answers answered, you cannot really style it with a custom CSS, nor via JS, as the activity feed widget creates an iframe.
The info from martincarlin87 is useful, but that is not exactly what you get with the Activity Plugin, which is what you meant I guess:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/activity/
For using this you cannot really interact with the Facebook API, it is a little world apart. By now... (July 12th 2012)
Facebook PHP SDK: https://github.com/facebook/php-sdk
Comes with some simple examples, I would suggest uploading it to your server and tinkering with it, Facebook has a steep learning curve but here at Stack Overflow there is even a Facebook section: facebook.stackoverflow.com so just take each step at a time and if you can't get it by reading the facebook docs: developers.facebook.com then you can always ask here and I'm sure someone will be able to help you.
Getting Started: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/php/
Once you have made an app, you add it to your fan page and then you will be abel to test what information you can get using the Graph API Explorer: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer
That post you refer to is a red herring I'm afraid. If you put any HTML between the activity tags it gets rendered BEFORE the iframe is added. So its a no starter, from what I can see. However, I eventually found a solution, which I gave on that thread. I am repeating it here in case somebody searching doesn't see the other thread.
I managed to customise an Activity plugin, after a great deal of effort.
You can see the result here:
http://www.quniverse.co.uk/shopdata/about_us.php
Feel free to post a comment on that site, it exists purely for test purposes so I'm not fussed what goes up there provided its clean.
I explain how I achieved this in the blog article posted here:
http://facebookanswers.co.uk/?p=302
To summarise briefly:
You cannot insert CSS into the activity plugin.
Rely on the fact it has a transparent background, and supply your own.
Turn off the header and supply your own.
You can specify a light or a dark font, a few fontfaces and a border colour.
If you read the blog article you will get a full explanation.
Hi I am trying to import all wall posts on a given Fan Page into a custom welcome tab.
I can't find the FBML for that anywhere although I have to believe it's simple.
You can develop your own tab application that does this or alliteratively you can find one that someone else has done :P. You can start your search here. I just searched for "custom wall" and it gave me a few results. I'm sure one of them will be able to answer your requirements.
Good luck!

How to enable iOS 5 Safari Reader on my website?
So iOS 5 Mobile Safari has this new reader feature but I don't understand how it works on my website and what I as a web developer can do to make sure a webpage is "Reader" compatible.
Does anyone know where I can find docs on this, I understand it's still in beta but there should still be docs somewhere. As far as I can tell by playing with it, its seems to be looking for RSS feeds? Can anyone elaborate?
There isn't really official documentation for it, but you just have to keep a good structure in your HTML. I've found some 3th party documentation here:
http://mathiasbynens.be/notes/safari-reader
For example, make use of heading tags for titles.
<h2>This is one item</h2>
You should then either use a DIV or SPAN to wrap your content in.
<span>This is the content that you would see in the reader</span>
What also seems to help is to use class names like "author", "content" or "article" for your content. It will be picked up by the reader. So you would get a result like this:
<h2>My Item</h2>
<span class="author">Some Name</span>
<span class="article">My content.</span>
I've seen websites without RSS feeds and still have the reader option, so that's not necessary.
I need help with a problem I'm facing, basically I'm utilizing the new "Facebook Comment Box" feature and the issue is it is overlaying with standard Wordpress comments. It is best described by showing you the following screenshot:
Because I'm new here I couldn't post a screenshot because I don't have enough rep so a link to the screenshot of the problem is here - http://www.wdbc.org.au/comment_screenshot.jpg
The true URL for the above screenshot is here
So I did some investigating around, I couldn't find anyone else who came across this problem, but I also found that it is a combination of factors which makes encountering it more rare. Below are some specifics on what I'm using, and factors I believe are contributing to this problem:
Wordpress 3.1
Wordpress Theme Genesis1.5
Wordpress Plugin Facebook Comments for WordPress 3.1
Wordpress Plugin The Events Calendar 1.6.5
Google Chrome Browser 10.0.648.204
Some important notes on this problem:
It does not happen for the same URL in Explorer or Firefox, only in Chrome
It only happens in Wordpress posts tagged as Events so the events calendar plugin is definitely part of the issue here (for example I don't see the overlap issue on a non-event post which does not utilize the Events Calendar plugin)
My thoughts:
The plugin "The Events Calendar" has something to do with this. The plugin adds some information at the top of the post such as Date, Address, Cost, etc, and the height this information takes up seems to be about exactly the height the wordpress comment is encroaching on the space of the facebook comment section.
I don't have enough Wordpress expertise to dig deeper in to this and determine what is wrong with either the Events plugin or the Chrome browser and I'm not really sure where to start. I would really appreciate if anyone can help provide some tips or guidance on how I could progress with this issue. If you need any further details just ask and I would be happy to share, thank you.
Edit: Same problem observed in Safari (on iPhone) so impacts Chrome/Safari not Firefox/Explorer.
Edit2: On further testing it looks like this is only impacting retrospectively. I created a new Event post and it works fine, but older Event posts are affected. I guess this makes the issue not as impacting as I first thought so I might be able to live with this.
It might have something to do with the like button. I use a plugin for wordpress that also includes the like button. I chose to hide it, and all is good. I will enable the like button using another plugin.
