Send button not displaying in my web page - facebook

I tried with HTML5 as well as XFBML version also but send button not appearing on my webpage.
I used the code from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/send/ for http://www.rakthadanam.com. On the developers.facebook.com it is showing properly but on my site it's not displaying.

Well, that´s because you cut it from the Social Plugin. There is just no space for it right next to the like button, you are going to have to make it bigger.
Also, there is "send=false" in the source code, so of course there is no send button at all.

How to Make Links Work in WKWebView and how to correctly format words

I am coding a simple app in Xcode and I have ran into a problem. I can not get links to work on the mobile app that go to other links. For example, if I click on the Twitter button at the bottom of the webpage nothing happens, I want that button to lead to the desired link it was supposed to go to. Also, the words in a page on the site are lined up in a vertical column, and I would like to know how to make the text look better in terms on formatting it correctly. Here is a picturePicture Of Simulator The Code

Seems like you're adding your WKWebView the right way and the page is loading fine. The problem with the text is actually coming from the CSS of the site as I have the problem in Safari on my phone as well, so if you are the web admin of the site I'd fix it there.
Did you try if the button you are talking about is responsive when accessing through Safari on your phone/simulator? WKWebView does not have a loading bar and it seems "unresponsive" sometimes even though the sites are loading in the back.
When adding your WebView implementation buttons like the privacy policy on the site work fine for me.

Facebook Like Button Missing after liking the url

I am currently using Floating Vertical Bar from Adthis For Sharing URL.
At first, everything appears to be correct but when i like a page using Facebook like button and reloads the page, the like button appears to be missing. There is no like button in that space.
When i move on to a new page which i have not liked the button will be there. Issue happens only when i like the page or url.
Can anyone help me on this.

How to trigger Facebook like button from custom button?

I have created a custom Facebook like button.
How do make it that when I click the button, it will trigger the like button provided by Facebook like the one below?
According to facebook policy on Social Plugins point 4 states:
"Don’t obscure or cover elements of social plugins."
You can't change the image directly because it's provided by Facebook.
The Facebook button is in an iFrame with a source that is on a different domain, Facebook’s domain, and so you can't change the button as it's protected by the same-origin policy.
Also, Facebook’s policy prohibits changing their buttons and logos when using embedded content from Facebook, like social buttons.
So, you're not suppose to be able to change the FB buttons, and even if you could it would be against the Facebook Terms of Service.
But... if you still want to do it, you can use the native Facebook button and lay your own image on top or below the Facebook button to fake a custom button.
Laying your image on top is only possible if you use CSS3 pointer-events, wich will make your image click-through and the click event will work "through" your image and actually click the Facebook button.
This only works in newer browsers that support Pointer Events.
Another option is to lay the image behind the FB button and set the FB button's opacity to zero.
I have used this several times myself, and with a little digging around in the Facebook code you can attach hover events and everything else to make it look like a custom button. You would have to find what elements to set opacity : 0 on.
Have never spent any time trying to figure out how to make the unlike function of the original button work on a custom button, but it's probably possible.
All my attempts to actually trigger the FB button with javascript or jQuery trigger() have failed, but maybe someone else has figured out how to do it?
When you create a html element with fb-like class, facebook javascript SDK convert it with a like button when document loaded. You can make a custom element and trigger click event of like button when user click your custom button.
For example :
<input type="button" id="mycustombutton" value="Like">
<div style="display:none" class="fb-like" data-send="false" data-layout="button_count" data-width="450" data-show-faces="false"></div>
jQuery code:
$("#mycustombutton").click(function(){
$(".fb-like").find("a.connect_widget_like_button").click();
// You can look elements in facebook like button with firebug or developer tools.
});
Update
Facebook SDK has been creating like button in an iframe and browsers not allowing to intervention to the iframe in the page. I think add event listener to element in iframe does not possible anymore.
This is not allowed for the obvious reason that it would lead to fraud. Imagine if each time you clicked an image on the web you don't know if it's an actual image or if it will result in a like and show up in your FB feed. It would be disastrous.
If you do want to do this legitimately, you will need to create an app and have the user authorise the app when he visits your site. This will open a popup where the user agreed to let the app access his FB account. Once that is done you can then send the like request on behalf of the user via a server-side script. In other words, it's not worth the effort.
If on the other hand you just want to get the like count for a page and display it however you want, you can do so via a request to "http://graph.facebook.com/#{url}" which will return a JSON payload with the number of likes. In jQuery it would be:
$.getJSON("http://graph.facebook.com/#{url}", function(data) { alert(data.shares); });
I think that facebook goes through great lengths to make sure people can't trigger the "Like" button. This is to prevent scripts from automatically clicking the "Like" button when someone visits the site.
You may be able to override the style of it using CSS and have your image show instead.
You can overlay your button on top of the Facebook like button and use css to hide the Facebook button.
Not sure on the legalities of this however.
You could try to trigger an Ajax request like this
FB.api(
'me/og.likes',
'post',
{
object: "http://samples.ogp.me/226075010839791"
},
function(response) {
// handle the response
}
);
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/opengraph/action-type/og.likes
http://sharingbuttons.io/ allows to make social media share buttons with no javascript at all (Not a like button like in the question…). For Facebook, it just uses a link like this:
<a href="https://facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fsharingbuttons.io"
target="_blank" aria-label="Share on Facebook">Share on Facebook </a><br>Here on Stackoverflow, you have to cmd + click to open the link in a new window.
Customize it with your own CSS and, to mimic the share button, just open the url in a popup instead of a target="_blank".

adding facebook like and tweet buttons to an exhisting tumblr theme

I am trying to add facebook 'like' buttons and tweet buttons at the end of each blog post on my tumblr blog. I used the 'minimalist' theme on tumblr. Ive tried just about every method to insert the html properly and nothing has worked. Below it the current full HTML that I am using. If you go to my site right now there is a facebook button and it actually works but there is a ton of blank space underneath that I cant get rid of. Also, it works in Safari but not Firefox which is odd. The fbook code is right before {/block:posts}. I've been able to look at other formats of buttons but they either like my entire page rather than individual posts or I have this same spacing/firefox issue. Can anyone help?
</div>

{/block:Posts}
I cant even get that. I've done this task a few times before with other themes and it is no problem at all. It sounds like you didn't uncheck the boxes on Facebook that enable the big black space go back to f.b. and get a new code made from the link page. Do not forget to uncheck the unneeded stuff or that will also be embedded in the code given you.

Facebook Fan Gate Page with jquery overlay

I'm basically creating a 520px wide welcome page for Facebook which I will upload onto the server and then Iframe it into a Facebook fan page. I'm doing this using HTML, CSS and JQuery rather than the old FBML method.
I've seen a lot of companies using an overlayed image to tease the user to 'like' the page. Once the user have liked the page, the content underneath is visible.
Examples:
https://www.facebook.com/redbull
https://www.facebook.com/smirnoffus
Red Bull - when the like button is triggered the transparent image is hidden to show content underneath
Smirnoff uses an image to give the illusion that the image is overlayed on top of the content. Somehow when the like button is triggered, the image is swapped for content.
Can anyone shed any light on how this can be acheived? I don't mind which one - Smirnoffus looks easier but might be a pain as everytime I update the content, I'll need to update image too.
When a user likes your Facebook fan page, Facebook will reload the whole page. You can then use server code to inspect the signed_request post parameter that they will send over. This question has an example code of how to detect if they liked the page in server side code.
