Does anyone know how to determine how many people click the LIKE button on a specific tab in Facebook? We've created new Tab (new iframe tabs), and would like to determine how effective they are at getting people to Like us. So, if we have a free offer tab and an About Us tab, and each of those has the Facebook like button on it (standard FB like button), how can we determine how many Liked us from that tab (to know if the tab is effective or not)?
should work if you extend the like url with an ref param. e.g.
?ref=about

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).
Hope this is in the right section(s). :)
Context: I have a site that has a central Like button (one that connects to the Facebook page for our organization), and each of our articles also has its own Like button (the button that's really more like a "share" button).
Question: Is it possible to see the origins of the individual likes on one of the articles? For the likes directly to the Facebook page, we can just go to the page and view the users who like it. But for the individual articles, the like count is generated completely differently (shares, "likes", the link being posted in PM's, etc.), and there appears to be no centralized "here's where this number is coming from" page. Is there any way to get an idea of where article likes are coming from?
Thanks!
This is covered on the Like Button documentation
See What is the best way to know which Like button on my page generated the traffic?
You add a ref parameter to the like button, and the value of this will come back in the inbound clicks as the fb_ref parameter in the referring URL
I want to have a web banner that when you click on it, it automatically likes my Facebook page. Is this possible? If so can someone point me in the right direction of similar to coding.
I want the functionality of a like button with my own image.
this is NOT a good thing to do - a like button should be the classic like button of facebook.
If it could look like anything then people could be tricked into liking something.
Do NOT attempt to do this.
You will make people very mad... you don't want to be deceiving your users...
You can read here for more information about the Facebook Platform Policies
Taken from the link above :
You must not obscure or cover elements of our social plugins, such as
the Like button or Like box plugin.
You are referring to obscuring the like button... ie - making it not look like the original like button
I'm able to make Facebook apps. But I have some problems. The documentation highlights this example: http://www.facebook.com/cocacola?v=app_161193133389
My apps are getting included as iFrames, even when I specify FBML - Coke's is more embedded. The "like button" generator creates a different style of like button to Coke's. Coke's uses a built in Facebook CSS stylesheet. Coke also has FB style links down the left side of their page.
Does anyone know how I could go about making an App like that? The documentation really does not cover it. Even useful web-links would be great. Thanks!
Actually, the link to Coke is not an application, but a FB page. The like button showed is the standard like button that you get when you create a page, which is different than the one that you obtain when you use FB social plugins.
They are very different things. A page represents something: a business, product, service, etc., while an application is, well.. an application. Note that pages can hold applications in their tabs, or just normal (and brand new) iframe tabs.

When you go on your profile page and click on "See all" in the "Friends" sidebar, you come up with a simple popup showing a (paginated) list of your friends (with their profile picture and name) and a search button.
I've got a list of users' ids and I'd like to display them in the same exact way: with a popup, the list and the fancy search button. Is there any simple way of doing this or should I write the popup content by hand (trying to imitate FB layout) and then use FBJS to display it?
Thanks.
I think there is no simple way to do it. FB doesn't provide the feature as a plugin or single API. But it would be possible to imitate the UI by using CSS+Javascript that FB uses.
