With Facebook's social plugins, you can create a "Like" button which likes a webpage. This defaults to the URL of the page you put it on. However, if you set the page URL to point to a Facebook group, then users who click on it will "like" the group and join it. Twitter's "Tweet" buttons is to tweet the current page, is there a way to make a button which will let users follow your twitter feed with one click, which you can put on your web site / blog?
You certainly can do this.

We have a Company facebook page and we the individual pages of our Portfolio have Facebook "Like" buttons on them.
The problem is, when a user clicks on the "like" button in our Portfolio it doesn't update the "like" count on our Company facebook page.
Does anyone know:
If this can be done; and
If so, how to do it
P.S. - we are aware we can point the href section of the porfolio "like" button to our Company Facebook page to acheive something similar, but this only allows users to "like" one URL, instead of allowing them to "like" individual project pages in our portfolio.
Many thanks for any light you can shed on this.
Doing this automatically isn't possible.
One of options is listening for edge.create event and bring attention of users providing em with ability to like your "company page".
I have problem on Facebook "like" button.
I put facebook "like" button in my page but I click that button it is not navigate to what I gave in href link and I want to perform facebook "like" button action same as facebook.
I can "like" this link on facebook how to do same as in my website using facebook "like" button ?
You can only 'Like' a fan Page by clicking the FB supplied button that sits in the parent FB page outside of your iframed application page. As frustrating as this can be to designers and UX developers it is potential security flaw if an application (boxed in as a Fan page) is allowed to 'Like' itself. I.e. users could be duped into 'Liking' a Page onload without their consent.
You can get the count of Likes for a Fan page. That is the only 'Like' action permitted on this object type.

You can't add likes to a profile using the Facebook Api.
Read here for more details 'Like' a page using Facebook Graph API
Unfortunately, this is not possible. You can only like a post via the graph api acccording to the docs.
Unfortunately it is not possible via any of the API's to like a page programmatically.
This is to prevent spam where people create apps to mass-like pages.
Hope this helps.
You cannot make a user like a page. That isn't possible unless you use a XSS attack (which facebook probably prevents), and you'll get banned from facebook. If you want to know how to place a like button, see http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/
I have a Facebook like button on my website, however as it works currently it only lets users like the page that they are currently on. Is it possible to make the button like our Facebook page instead of our website?
Go to the developers page which provides Social Plugin. There, just add at the "URL to Like" of the button, the address of your facebook page. E.g. http://www.facebook.com/mypage
This way, once the users push the like button, your facebook page will get automatically a like and they will also follow the updates of the facebook page
You can use the badge creator to create a badge for your page that a user can interact with for "like" purposes.
you could try this page this might work better for you, they can like the facebook page direct on your site http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like-box/
This is because you haven't put your right page url in facebook like box generator. Go to you facebook page and copy the link from there. Now use this to generate facebook like box. You can also get help from this http://www.codematrics.com/my-website-and-facebook-page-have-different-likes/
I am adding the Facebook like plugin onto my website, and from what I understand, when a user clicks 'like' the URL of the current page or a specified page is posted on their wall.
Is it possible to have them join a Facebook page at the same time?
The like button plugin is for adding external pages to the Social Graph. If you want to have users Like your actual Facebook page from your external Web site, then the plugin you're looking for is the Like Box. You can customise various elements of it to add/remove features such as a live feed of your page or a facepile of people who like you page etc.
I don't think that this is possible. Have a separate Like Plugin for your Facebook Page.
This is not possible. The Like feature you add to your website is for a specified URL for the user to Like. The Facebook Like is for the Facebook page only. You can't automatically get a webpage outside of Facebook to Like a Facebook page. If this was possible, it would be an abuse to their system.
I have special offerings gallery site (lets say example.com) and each offering has a "Like" button. "Like" button has example.com/45 url which directs original offering site (lets say superoffer.com). The problem is that my like button shows superoffer.com "likes" and not my redirect url likes. How can i pass this problem.
You can't. Facebook does not allow you to create likes for pages that do redirects. You should make example.com/45 a landing page that links the user to the destination page. This way Facebook will send the user to your site, then the user can click a link to go to the next site.
