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 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).
I am fighting the whole days with this thing, I would like to add to my website the like button to each article and when a visitor click on the LIKE button, then on his/her timeline/wall should be shown this information.
Could anyone help me with this? The like button itself is working, but I don't know how to put this information to the timeline.
Thank you very much
By default when a user likes an article it shows in on his/her timeline (Recent Activity Section) and from Your question I understand that you have a blogging system if You are running and working on WordPress use the Facebook Plugin tell me if you need further information
Im using Facebook's like button plugin on my own website product pages, also using opengraph tags
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
Everything seems to work fine, the problem is when people 'like' a product, the comment box shows up but if they leave it empty only single line is posted on their feed like:
Jon Doe has liked "title here".
But when they write that comment when they click Like or even post the the link manually all the image,text,description information is correctly displayed.
Anyone knows how to fix this?
Well, that’s the basic difference between a like and a share. Since Facebook has merged these to functionalities into one social plugin, it’s up to the user which action he takes.
The old share button has been deprecated, so not much use in implementing it now, because even if it’s still possible(?) it will stop working eventually.
If you want shares instead of likes, your one alternative IMHO is implementing the Feed Dialog on your site, triggered by a click on a button of you own making.
I have a website that utilizes the facebook like button social plugin. It's part of a small toolbar that also has a tweet button and other similar things. After clicking the button, however, facebook automatically displays a menu to let you add comments to the post. This really throws off the css in my site and makes things look really bad. I really just want people to be able to click the recommend button, and have it end there. I don't want any extra elements to be brought into the HTML code after the action is taken.
Does anybody know of any way to stop all the extra stuff from being displayed?
From the FAQ at the bottom of the like button social plugin reference:
When will users have the option to add a comment to the like?
If you are using the XFBML version of the Like button, users will
always have the option to add a comment. If you are using the Iframe
version of the button, users will have the option to comments if you
are using the 'standard' layout with a width of at least 400 pixels.
If users do add a comment, the story published back to Facebook is
given more prominence.
So one option would be to use the iframe instead of the XFBML version, and make sure the width is less than 400px.
I am developing an iPhone application that lists videos posted on logged-in user's wall. I would like to provide an Like button below each video listed. When the user clicks on this Like button, the corresponding video should be liked in Facebook.
The Like button shown in the UI should match the UI theme of my app. I have gone through Facebook plug-in documentation related to Like button. Following is the link with the documentation:
http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
But, I cannot use this Like button generated using iFrame since I will not be able to customize the look of Like button.
How can I customize my Like button? Or how can I programmatically like a Video URL? I am trying to this since long time. I have seen some iPhone apps already having custom Like button.
Take a look here for a nice how-to on styling:

And the specific policy from Facebook is that as long as you are not deceiving the user, the policy team would consider this practice acceptable.
I could do it using Graph API. New SDK provides support for Graph API.
