Is it possible to have a share button (the old one) and the iFrame resize function in the same app? It seems the two javascript libraries don't work together.
Update
I finally replaced the old share button with a FB.ui feed dialog:
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/dialogs/feed/
you could nest the share button in a separate iframe, so the library won't need to work together

I have a link, it looks like that:
link text
The target (shop) is an iframe with the name shop. Clicking the link and showing someplace.html in the iframe only works, if the page that contains the iframe is already loaded.
So my problem is, how can I make it work even if the page that contains the iframe is not loaded? I tried loading the page with the iframe by redirecting to it when the link was clicked using its onclick, that worked, but I still have to load someplace.html afterwards and this is where I am stuck.
Any ideas how to solve that? I can use jQuery or plain JavaScript ... doesnt matter.
Thanks!
If you have a link with a target "shop", you must have a iframe called "shop". It is possible to load the iframe with a blank page if there is no initial content.
I try to put in a page the share buttons of facebook, linkedin, google+, twitter
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
https://dev.twitter.com/docs/tweet-button
but with another graphism.
Is there a 'simple' way to do so?
I can not really use css or jQuery are they are in an iframe
Thank you
Make a custom button with whatever CSS you wish to and then position the standard like button over it with 100% transparency.
Though you won't be able write custom event handlers (if that's what you wanted jquery for ) for those buttons. That's why in first place these buttons don't allow you to modify them.
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
}
);

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".
How to you link from inside an iframe to another tab? When i normally link from inside the iframe it provides you with a
Do you have to use javascript ? if so how would you do that?
Example (the second carousel image):
http://www.facebook.com/pages/New-York-Life-DFW/116752861740593?sk=app_208195102528120
I would use target="_top" just in case Facebook (or you) decided to wrap the whole thing inside another frame.
I believe the that you can do it by setting the target of the link to "_parent"
i.e. this would be the link inside your iframe:
Go to another tab
On Facebook you can browse the site without affecting the floating chat windows. Seems like if the main page was inside an iFrame and the footer and chat windows where floating outside.
(source: k-director.com)
Is the main content inside an iframe or are the footer and chat windows the ones inside an iframe?
The later doesn't seem possible because int this case when you click in a link in the main page everything would have to reload, including the footer iframe.
If you refresh the page the chat windows are reloaded, but if you browse the site by clicking links they are not.
Thank you.
If you install FireBug and enable the net monitor for Facebook, you'll see that when you click most links inside the application, you're not doing a full page refresh, but rather an AJAX call which updates the page with the new content.
It looks like a new page, but in reality you're on the same page with just about everything but the chat-bar replaced.
Probobly just an absolutely positioned div, containing a scrolling div for the content. Ajax would provide the content.
The chat windows do indeed refresh when you load a new page, they maintain their viewstate however (open/close/chat history).
It's an absolutely positioned div, positioned at the bottom of your browser window. It's not hard, I cloned the Facebook chat for ClockingIT from scratch in a weekend.
