I'm trying to add the facebook 'Like' button to my CiviCRM civiMail footer template.
When I paste the downloaded code into the footer code the CiviCRM editor flags up the following error
"Illegal characters in input (potential scripting attack)"
(I have pasted the code into my HTML pages and added to my Wordpress pages and it works fine in both but wont work in CiviMail)
Anyone know how to do this?
You can't embed script code into HTML emails. At least you can't and expect it to run. The best you can do is embed some kind of fake like button that is a simple image and hyperlink to your fan page or the url that you want people to like which will open in their browser and then they could like it from there.

I'm looking to create an app with PHP Desktop (latest version) and for the Contact page I wanted to insert a simple Google form.
My problem is that, if I open this link in an external browser, it works as it should be, but using PHPDesktop, returns me a blank page.
I encounter the same issue in both scenario: using the link shown above or the iframe for embedded HTML.
Googling around, I found only one similar reference here, but as it looks my problem is different.
My error code is:
my code is inserted as hyperlink in the menu of my index.php page with this code:
<a class="button2 button1" href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSdm7v9mzLeqENTjimhr1w54J-fvCuNJpWAn9O06JsQsmzp4nA/viewform?usp=sf_link" target="blank" >Contact</a>
Do you have any idea how can I solve this?
I've put like button on joomla site with cyrillic text:
http://womanew.kz/index.php/2011-10-22-01-42-12/2011-11-01-05-34-04/147-2011-11-07-06-22-02
When I push like button facebook's scraper incorrectly encodes the page.
Also I've created static test html page equal to this URL (http://womanew.kz/test.html), and it scrapes well.
All two pages have equal content, but the problem page is generated from Joomla PHP script.
Also I've noticed that scraper reencodes not full document (it keeps head block unchanged), please see its "See exactly what our scraper sees for your URL" debuging page on facebook.
What can I do to struggle this problem?
When I did this I use this manual and didn't have such problem. This is for Joomla website:
1.Go to the Facebook developer page here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box
2.Enter the page number (found in your Facebook page URL) of your Facebook page.
3.If you don't have one, go to Facebook Create Page wizard and create a Brand >> Website page for your site.
4.Enter the height (typically 400 pixels) that you want for the Like widget
5.Click the Get Code button to generate the Facebook Code.
6.Open the Joomla Administrator on your site
7.Navigate to the Module Manager
8.Click the New button
9.Select Custom HTML
10.Paste the code into the HTML box (make sure the editor is turned off).
11.Give the module a name
12.Click the Hide Title radio button
13.Select the Module Position where you want the widget to appear
14.Click Save

Hope, it will help you!
I've found a bug in the site. One of joomla's modules was truncating UTF-8 strings in byte boundaries and this was created one-byte bug character in the page, after this character scraper starts using incorrect encoding.
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.
