Facebook Like Button: how to like an image file url? - facebook

I want to have it so the Facebook Like Button API is able to 'Like' and image hosted on a server. EG if it can 'Like' something like: mysite.com/photo1.jpg
Currently, this does not work with the API:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://mysite.com/photo1.jpg" data-send="true" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true"></div>
Does anyone know of a work around for this? Or do I need to put each image on an HTML page?

Get the iframe of like button from the below link and in that rewrite
href="http://mysite.com/photo1.jpg"

Fb Like in Ember App

In my ember app I am trying to add fb like button. I have this flow.
index -> select Image -> pay -> thank you page
In my thank you page I am trying this fb like code
<div class="fb-like" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/Postify.Postcards" data-layout="button_count" data-action="like" data-show-faces="false" data-share="false"></div>
The problem is when I am coming the above mentioned flow it doesn't show a like button. But when I am on thank you page and the refresh then it shows the fb like button.
Any thoughts?
Facebook parses the page on page load for instances of Facebook items, since you're dynamically adding it after page load it doesn't catch it. You'll just need to re-parse the page, or re-parse that item when you hit a template where that applies.
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/javascript/FB.XFBML.parse/
Something like this would be the way to solve it.
App.ThankYouView = Ember.View.extend({
setupFbLike: function(){
FB.XFBML.parse();
}.on('didInsertElement')
})

Why is my facebook like button applying to the "social plugins" page?

I have added a facebook like button to my site at http://forkmyreligion.com. I have triple checked all the settings for the app on my developers.facebook page and I'm pretty sure its all correct - the domain is correct, the website url is correct and I have the correct app id for the application.
The problem though is that clicking on the like button results in the user liking the facebook social plugins page rather than my page.
Any ideas what the problem might be?
Thanks
The Like button on your page is Liking the social plugins page because the Like button on your page has a data-href parameter which is explicitly configuring the like button to like that URL:
You have this:
<div class="fb-like" data-href="https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/" data-colorscheme="light" data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-show-faces="true" data-send="false"></div>
You need to set the data-href to the URL you want the button to display and increment the like count of.
This parameter is mentioned on the Like button documentation and the example in the documentation is the URL https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/

Facebook like/recommend button on facebook iFrame tab

I want to add a like/recommend button to a facebook tab.An example of facebook tab is this.
The problem with using facebook like/recommend is that if we have done fan gating and the user has to like the page before he/she can view the content of the tab, then the like/recommend will always be greyed out, since the page has been liked.
So in particular I want the user to like a section of the page not the complete page.
I have gone through the net and found out some hacks for it like this and this.
I don't want to use fb:comments or fb:share as they have been deprecated. Is there any other way around.
Place this code inside your page:
You need to specify data-href to your particular link.
Leaving it empty gets facebook to like the current page.
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.google.com" data-send="true" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true"></div>

Facebook Like button shows url for my dev site

I'm using a 503 page as a 'coming soon' splash page. It has a FB like button on it.
I have been able to get the description and title to pull across, but the url of my site is wrong..
my normal url is like example.com, and the url displayed is my dev site - dev.example.com
I have searched all the files I can think of for dev. and can't find it anywhere..
Clicking the title link provided on facebook actually takes you to the correct url, but it's just the url displayed underneath that is visually wrong.
any ideas?
check the configuration of your app in fb or:
<div class="fb-like" data-href="YOUR_URL" data-send="true" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true"></div>
or
<fb:like href="YOUR_URL" send="true" width="450" show_faces="true"></fb:like>
Is there any server side redirection from your example.com to dev.example.com? The Like button script will resolve those and present the user with the end URL.

Why different facebook plugins using the same div id name?

We want to integrate the facebook login button plugin, facebook like button, facebook comments with in one page for different purpose.
But we found that they all using the same div id #fb-root. As we know, one div id should be used only time for one page...
How to solve it?
You only need one fb-root. The like button, login, etc will generate where you put the "like", "login", etc tags.
<div class="fb-like" data-send="true" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true"></div>
"Include the JavaScript SDK on your page once, ideally right after the opening tag."
This contains fb-root
Then, Place the code for your plugin wherever you want the plugin to appear on your page.
