my issue might look a strange a little bit.
i'm working on a cakephp website in which i want to integrate facebook comments, like, and share functions. i'm using for that Webtechnick's Facebook plug-in, and i think this far everything is doing great. except one thing.
whene i call comments and like:
<?php $facebook->comments(); ?>
<?php $facebook->like(); ?>
it works and i have my share and like buttons, but when i call
<?php $facebook->share(); ?>
<?php $facebook->comments(); ?>
<?php $facebook->like(); ?>
only the share button is displayed. It's like if the share button hides likes and comments
not sure if this is clear enough, I know it's a strange problem.
If anybody has experienced something similar to this please help, thank you.
You may be better off using the social plugin versions of these three. I'd recomment you start with the HTML5 versions and go from there.
See:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ (does both like and send)

For my selfhosted Wordpress blog, i wish to add Feedburner email subscription form.
Embed code from feedburner site:
<form action="http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify" method="post" target="popupwindow" onsubmit="window.open('http://feedburner.google.com/fb/a/mailverify?uri=[BLOGNAME]', 'popupwindow', 'scrollbars=yes,width=550,height=520');return true">
My issue is, i dont want the popup window to show up. That thing is so 80's stuff.
Instead, is it possible to show the popup contents inline? Using JS or PHP or something?
Check out how div contents change over click here using JS: http://www.willmaster.com/library/web-development/replace-div-content.php
Would be great if something similar could be worked out.
I guess this is easy to do but i have limited knowledge on web designs and php/js/forms.
Thanks in advance.
PS: Please do not suggest plugins. I hate installing plugins unless absolutely necessary.
You can change target="popupwindow" to target="_self" or target="_blank", it can load in current page or go to a new page.
I had links in my website which were working fine but I noticed that these are not working now.
eg : http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?s=100&p[url]=http://www.otlcampaign.org/blog/2013/02/04/inconvenient-truth-education-reform&p[images][0]=http://www.otlcampaign.org/sites/default/files/journey-for-justice-mlk-memorial.jpg&p[title]=The+Inconvenient+Truth+of+Education+'Reform'!&p[summary]=Recent+events+have+revealed+how+market-driven+education+policies,+deceivingly+labeled+as+%22reform,%22+are+revealing+their+truly+destructive+effects+on+the+streets+and+in+the+corridors+of+government:
this link was working fine before but its not taking custom title , summary etc. Please help me to resolve this problem.
I'm not using meta tags because there are lot of share buttons which have different title, description, image urls.
I have already gone through existing question on this site but those solutions are obselete. eg Facebook Share doesn't show my description or my thumbnail
Any suggestions please.
I'm not sure if you're comfortable with using PHP, but have you tried the following?
<?php
$title=urlencode('Title');
$url=urlencode('http://www.facebook.com/yourfanpage'); /* Note Personal FB Pages will not work */
$summary=urlencode('Custom message');
$image=urlencode('http://www.yourdomain.com/facebookshare/images/customthumbnail.jpg');
?>
<a onClick="window.open('http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?s=100&p[title]=<?php echo $title;?>&p[summary]=<?php echo $summary;?>&p[url]=<?php echo $url; ?>&&p[images][0]=<?php echo $image;?>', 'sharer', 'toolbar=0,status=0,width=548,height=325');" target="_parent" href="javascript: void(0)">
Share our Facebook page!
</a>
From your example, also, I noticed that one of the issues might be the ampersands. You have 100& instead of 100& You will need to double check all of the links for these and the spaces, etc.
I have a facebook like button on each of my wordpress blog posts, this worked fine up until about 2 weeks ago, and now all recent blog posts don't have functioning like buttons.
This is the response I get when I click the like button (post link)
for (;;);{"__ar":1,"payload":{"requires_login":false,"success":false,"already_connected":false,"is_admin":false,"show_error":false,"error_info":null}}
and for the old blog posts that DO work (post link):
for (;;);{"__ar":1,"payload":{"requires_login":false,"error_info":null,"show_error":false,"node_type":"ExternalLink","node_id":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","edge_type":"ExternalLinkLike","connect_text":0,"success":true,"already_connected":true,"user_profile":{"name":"xxxxxxx","profile_url":"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/xxxxxxx","pic_square":"http:\/\/profile.ak.fbcdn.net\/hprofile-ak-snc4\/xxxxxx_xxxxxxxxx_xxxxxxx_x.jpg"},"story_fbid":"xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx","is_admin":false,"admin_url":""},"invalidate_cache":[0]}
I've tried replacing the like box code, removing the href attribute from the like box tag, running each link through Facebook URL Linter and none of this has worked!
I don't understand why it works for old blog posts and not new ones, there are no differences between them (that I know of).
This issue has nothing to do with your code. It is a FB issue I encounter on my websites as well. Did some research and came up with this:
this behavior is intermittent, may work on some pages, may fail on others
if you go on this page: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/lint/ and enter your url there, first time it will show up an error, afterwards the page will load. Hit some refreshes and afterwards the like button on your site (on the entered url) will suddenly start working... Very weird! I think it has something to do with FB crawler and (maybe) when accessing the lint tool you somehow force the crawler to recheck your page or something.
If anyone finds out something else, please share, the issue is really annoying...
Looking at the forums here:
http://forum.developers.facebook.net/viewforum.php?id=53
It looks like several other developers are running into the same issue. Some posts there also brought up having to use the lint tool to get their like buttons to work. I've also gotten it to work on my site by just mashing the Like button until it eventually accepts it so like what hpuiu said, i'm pretty confident that this problem's on their end.
Edit: And maybe on a related note, another post said that FB stopped scraping their site until they used the lint tool on their page and another said that they seem to consistently get this issue for any new posts that're around for less than 24 hours.
You could try to add the Iframe version of the like box instead of their javascript version. Sometimes it actually works better when loading multiple post for example.
Facebook doesn't like the '/' at the end of the url. So you can use something like this to omit the '/' at the end of the url :
$title = get_permalink();
<fb:like href="<?php echo substr($title, 0, -1); ?>" layout="button_count" width="300" show_faces="false"></fb:like>
I saw many similar questions here but their answers don't work for me by some reasons.
I need the share box, not the like one.
Can anyone share a working solution?
Thank you very much
EDIT
The only working way I found is to add a link like:
Share on Facebook
But in this case there is no counter and I need it. Is there a way to do it now?
Ok, I found it here: http://www.simplebloggertutorials.com/2010/05/how-to-add-facebook-share-button-with.html
Just need to add following code:
<div>
<a name="fb_share" type="box_count" expr:share_url="data:post.url" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>
</div>
very easy solution and according to the link provided by Jarede Facebook will support Share button in the future.
Much more nicer solution here: Facebook Feed Dialog
The share button has been deprecated in preference for the Like button. Probably best to keep up with the rest of the world and use Like instead of trying to implement the outdated Share.
I found this:
https://www.hs.facebook.com/note.php?note_id=10150211527410844
I'm trying to figure out if this is possible or not within a facebook tab on a page.
My page url looks like this:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/appname/342342342?v=app_1234234
I simply want to pass it another param like this:
http://www.facebook.com/pages/appname/342342342?v=app_1234234&donated=1
I can do in within the app, but it doesnt work on tab - any ideas?
Tried these two:
<?php echo $_GET["donated"]; ?>
<?php echo $_REQUEST["donated"]; ?>
Wes, I am not sure this is possible at this time.
I am also seeking a solution to this problem. It looks like iFrames in the Tabs will be available soon, and hopefully this change will allow access to the parent URL, similar to iFrame canvas applications.
I have asked a similar question here: http://developers.facebook.com/blog/post/434
Let me know if you come across any solutions!
