Today I have a like-button set up for the pages url. In the near future I might
Want to create a facebook page or group for the site.
Is there a way to move or sync the likes for the url with the page. Or will they always be separated and thus the gained like count lost?
You can change your old code for like button to have like link for the group page
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=
"your page link"
&layout=standard&show_faces=true&width=450&action=like&font&colorscheme=light&height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

May I ask why when Facebook like button href is a fan page, it's working perfectly.
<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FOscarPet.tw%2F%3Ffref%3Dts&width=450&layout=standard&action=like&show_faces=false&share=true&height=35&appId=PleaseChange2ARealAppId" width="450" height="35" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
But when href change to a fan page's "post", the like button not showing any more.
<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FOscarPet.tw%2Fposts%2F1076964629016757&width=0&layout=standard&action=like&show_faces=false&share=true&height=35&appId=PleaseChange2ARealAppId" width="450" height="35" style="border:none;overflow:hidden" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
From the docs:
Pick the URL of a website or Facebook Page...
It is not possible to use the Like Button for a specific Post on a Facebook Page, you can only use the Page itself - or an external URL.
So, I've run my url through the facebook debugger and everything comes out right. if i post my url in a status, the correct thumbnail and description comes up. However, the like button on my site results in my web host url and thumbnail showing on facebook.
My url is adammoritzmusic.com
My iframe code:
<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fadammoritzmusic.com&width=200&height=35&colorscheme=dark&layout=standard&action=like&show_faces=false&send=false" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:200px; height:35px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
help?
There's 3 Solutions You can follow:
#1
Use http://adammoritzmusic.com/Home.html (without https) because when you adammoritzmusic.com Facebook will use your index.html which redirects to Home.html
(Facebook Like button has a bug, the same domain has two different counts of likes one for http and the other for https)
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fadammoritzmusic.com/Home.html&width=200&height=35&colorscheme=dark&layout=standard&action=like&show_faces=false&send=false" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:200px; height:35px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
#2
Use Index.html instead of home.html or just use .htaccess file to make home.html as your default index file:
DirectoryIndex Home.html
#3
Create a Facebook fan page, this would the fastest and easiest solution.
I have a website that displays houses to the visitors. When the user wants to view a house, he/she clicks to view the house and a details page will show. With the url being www.myhouses/details/123 (123 being the unique id for the house).
I added a Facebook like button to the details screen (www.myhouses/details/123) . Will this "like" be counting towards like for www.myhouses (the entire website) or only for the specific url.
Is there a way to get the count for all Facebook likes to my page, in the above mentioned scenario ?
thanks
That depends if you have defined the data-href attribute in the fb-like div.
To know all likes you have on your website. From what I know ( correct me if is wrong ). You need to map all your site urls and request using the Facebook Graph or using FQL to get the like of every single page, and so, sum then all.
It depends. When you create a like button you pass the URL you are going to LIKE.
The documentation shows:
<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=YOUR_URL"
scrolling="no" frameborder="0"
style="border:none; width:450px; height:80px"></iframe>
If you put:
<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=www.myhouses.com"
scrolling="no" frameborder="0"
style="border:none; width:450px; height:80px"></iframe>
you are going to like your site, if:
<iframe src="https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=www.myhouses.com/details/123"
scrolling="no" frameborder="0"
style="border:none; width:450px; height:80px"></iframe>
you are going to like your house link.
Well, if you haven't defined it with the data-href attribute, it will use the current URL, otherwise it will use the defined url.
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.yourdomain.com" data-send="false" data-width="450" data-show-faces="false"></div>
I started having problems a couple of days ago with the Like button on my Facebook application page. It has been working for almost 6 months but stopped working yesterday. When I am logged into my own Facebook account I see the 'Like' count, but if I am logged out or logged in as anyone who hasn't already 'Liked' my app, it doesn't work. They see the button as if nobody has 'liked' it yet and when they click it, it seems to reset every time.
The URL I am trying to like is an APP URL. My code is pasted below.
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?app_id={myAppId}&href={myAppURL}&send=false&layout=button_count&width=450&show_faces=false&action=like&colorscheme=dark&font&height=21"
scrolling="no" frameborder="0"
style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:21px;"
allowTransparency="true">
</iframe>
I've tried a few variants of this code, but I can't seem to get it to work. Even when I go to the page that generates 'Like' button code on Facebook and give it my URL, I see the same problem. When I click the button I get the text "Error" in red to the right of the button. I've seen an article on Mashable that this same problem happened about a year ago for some people...
Try replacing the http:// part of the src attribute with //
So it should look like this:
<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?app_id={myAppId}&href={myAppURL}&send=false&layout=button_count&width=450&show_faces=false&action=like&colorscheme=dark&font&height=21"
scrolling="no" frameborder="0"
style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:21px;"
allowTransparency="true">
</iframe>
The facebook 'like' button isn't working on my webpage when i upload it to the web. It works perfectly on my computer though. Any guesses as to why this is happening ?
http://savetheearth.99k.org/pledge.htm is the URL
i think the problem is in the url you have provided. As i check in your page source the i frame has following code :
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=earthsave.tk&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&font=verdana&colorscheme=light&height=35" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:35px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
Where it should have been:
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fsavetheearth.99k.org%2Fpledge.htm&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&font=verdana&colorscheme=light&height=35" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:35px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
the problem was in your url:
src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=earthsave.tk
The like button shows up for me just fine - I'm not even logged into facebook.
Two reasons we have found for this:
Simple Redirect:
If your site page has a redirect on it you will get an error.
www prefix redirect:
Facebook always tries to access your domain without the www prefix. If you have an auto redirect to send users from "example.com" to "www.example.com" - even if you pass the url to facebook as "www.example.com", the crawler tries to access the url without the www which results in an error.
