Please help. I've spent hours on this. With Twitter I had no trouble adding a button to my website using iWeb but with facebook.....
The best way I can describe my problem is this: I go through all of the required steps to obtain the plug-in for my facebook page (http://www.facebook.com/thekitchensinkwma). I then "get code", copy the code, drag HTML Snippet onto my desired page in iWeb, then paste the code into the appropriate window (BTW: I've tried all 3 codes several times). When Click the "Apply" button, the "Like" button does not appear.
I'm at my whit's end! Please help. Thanks.

Without seeing the page I have two initial thoughts you can run down:
Your CMS [iWeb or whatever you are using] is altering the fb-root tag which is required for the button to show. Twitter only uses javascript.
Your page is appearing via iframe, javascript or something from the system is causing Facebook to believe you may be hiding the button to fake a click.
If this is happening with both the iFrame and Scripted method a url will be helpful as it may be more complex.
Try adding <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml"> to the HTML-tag.
Would be easier if you provided a link though.

I'm attempting to add a FB "Like Box" to a website I'm developing. Not too familiar with Facebook apps, but so far I've gone the non-IFRAME route, using the FB SDK script include.
I'm fairly certain I've got almost everything setup correctly. In fact, I see the widget appear when I visit the page UNCACHED (i.e. in FF, I hit CTRL+SHIFT+R to reload all content to avoid loading from cache). Once I revisit the site, or move around within the site by clicking links, the content does not reappear.
I'm wondering if it's an issue with a) the channel.php file, or b) the apps interaction with my use of JQuery. The channel.php file is verbain what is provided by Facebook (using PHP's caching mechanism).
Here's the site currently: http://www.morningfatty.com/demo - It might be easier to list this rather than post several code snippets.
I went to your website and didn't see the like box. I checked the HTML code and it all appeared fine. The div looked like <div data-header="false" data-stream="false" data-border-color="#40ADAD" data-show-faces="true" data-colorscheme="light" data-width="192" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/morningfatty" class="fb-like-box"></div>
I went to https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/ and tried your link http://www.facebook.com/morningfatty and lo-and-behold the like box didn't display there.
I tried going directly to http://www.facebook.com/morningfatty and it redirected me to http://www.facebook.com/MorningFatty. I noticed the change of case in the name. So I went back and tried http://www.facebook.com/MorningFatty in the like-box and it worked!!.
I believe that you page will work once you update the casing on the url. :)
I'm trying to get Facebook send or like button display on GWT popup panel and I am not successful. When inspecting the generated HTML, facebook HTML button looks properly inserted into but it just does not show up. Save Facebook button works well in html page (not on GWT panel).
Have you ever had success in displaying Facebook Send or Like or Share button in GWT? I know I ca implement FB Like button myself using API or other libraries. But I do it need that. I need standard Facebook Send button to be used in my GWT application.
Please advise me if you have experience and were successful.
Thank you very much!
I had a similar problem, and it was because, in the html file's script tag, I had changed and not updated the src="path" to a valid path. I had a wrong directory listed in the path. For me, it's correct now with:
<script type="text/javascript" src="clienttest/clienttest.nocache.js"></script>
I rebuilt, and the image appeared on the page. This problem was keeping the entry point module from loading.
Basically i'd like to put a like button on the website so that fans of the site can like the websites Facebook page.
The Like button page doesn't give me the code when i click the button, just says "Only verified developers can be added as listed developers of this application. Read www.facebook.com/help/?faq=17580 for details." Is this a common error, or?
EDIT: Using Like box now, but would prefer Like button.
And the like box page gives me the iframe and XFBML codes. Sorry for being a n00b, but how do i add either one onto my site? I've tried Insert > Script and pasted it in there, using all four script types (Javascript, JS 1.1, JS 1.2 and VBScript but they don't show in the preview. Placed the code under the 'back to top' button at the bottom of the page. Not showing up when i look at code view of the online version though?
Hopefully its something really easy and obvious, but any help would be great.
Again, site is designed/updated with Dreamweaver MX 6.0.
I dont have that much experience with Dreamweaver - but implementing the facebook social plugins (eg. Like button) is very simple. All you have to do is copy and paste the XFMBL you generate from this link. Once you paste your URL into the "URL to Like" field and click "get code" you should get the correct code to use...
You place this code wherever you want it to appear - if you want the like button to be in the footer just paste it there...
The code snippet actually loads the facebook javascript sdk and places your like button inside an iframe on your page...
You can not place the like button code inside a different element - if that were possible people could trick you into liking their page by writing some different label on the button - eg. "Back to top" :)
This should be relatively simple to implement. If you are still having dificulties - why not try opening a new HTML file containing only the required HTML tags and the like button code...
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
The error appears because, just like it says in the message, you are not a verified developer.
In order to be a verified Facebook developer, you need a verified Facebook account, with a credit card or a phone number verification.
I'd suggest you verify your account as soon as you can if you plan to use more of Facebook's plugins and apps, since it will give you full access to their developer tools
I'm developing a WordPress plugin to show above or bottom the posts Facebook like and send buttons.
Unfortunately when is also activated a plugin for Facebook share button there is a Javascript error (FB.provide is not a function) and like and send buttons don't appear.
For example this happens in this page: http://www.pasqualepuzio.it/2011/04/plugin-facebook-like-and-send-button/
How can I solve this issue?
Thank you very much
I ´ve faced the same problem and it happens if you add the script twice on the site (http://connect.facebook.net/sv_SE/all.js)
I understood that part that we cant have all.js twice but I want to have Facebook Share Button and Facebook Like Button.
According to Docs, I need to include these two JS Files.
https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js
http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share
Now, If I include both Firebug will give me same error "FB.provide is not a function". If I remove either of them then Like or Share button wont work.
I can do iFrame version but I have HTML Encoding issues with iFrame Version. I am programmatic generating HTML Response.
Any idea, how to approach?
There is a workaround for this: instead of placing the javascript Fb.Share within the same page where you are loading the Javascript SDK, use an Iframe with the first and set it in the second.
I'm writing facebook app in fbml (not in iframe).
I added comments with <fb:comments ...> and it appears to work.
However, to add a comment, user has to click Add a comment... link to see the textarea and post button.
I am wondering is there a way to automatically show the form?
I want it to really look like here:
developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments
(with or without the like button)
well... to answer my own question:
it's documented at
developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fbml/comments
The showform parameter.
Maybe it will help someone.
