useful article

Thanks a lot

thanks its working on my site now…

Thank you for this tip! You are best and now my blog have button like that works!

Please help.

I have added this but when I click like it does not update on my Facebook profile like it doesm on your blog.

For example I just liked your post and on my Facebook wall it says Mark likes – the name f your post and a link to it.

When I click on mine on my blog that doesn't happen?

Hilarious!!! Now I know… that is what he was talking about =)

I am blushing now.

Have you ever seen that video he mentioned? Fun stuff!

Glad it's sorted out mate! You are most welcome =) Yes Mark is always a
knowledgeable friend!

Thanks Mark!! Spot on =)

I have added the button successfully a month or so ago, however all the content in every post is now duplicated. I have deactivated and deleted every single plugin on the blog and the post content is still in duplicate. This is only in the browser, not on the dashboard.
Is it possible that this plugin could be the cause of that?

You have explained everything very clearly and it is very easy to understand… thanks

Thanks for the hack! I”ve been able to use it on all of the sites that I currently maintain and it seems to be working quite well so far. I'm going to try to make the additional meta changes to see what'll happen next.

Thanks again!

Hi Thanks for the Info.. Already Added your plugin in the list.. No need to post the comment into multiple posts

adjust the height in the code .. for example height:28px

well as you should know.. you can only see the name of your friends who are
sharing the post..

ya, it's pretty cool, i already added it to my website. thanks

Hi Ruhani
I am adding this button and I also saw in many blogs next to each RT button there is a Like button
A very nice step from Facebook and I hope it replaces share button very soon

Hmmm…for some reason that code is causing my posts to be posted twice in the same single page. I've tried pasting it in a couple of different locations, and it still breaks my theme.

Awesome work! Ruhani. I think this like function is way better than share. will add it to my website, right away

It does not appear to be a coding issue. Let me give you two examples. One post is liked by me and two others, and Facebook says this, but it only shows one picture, which is mine. See here: http://mamy.us/bVGf0i

The other one says it is liked by me and somebody else (name changes with each refresh) and says it is liked by us “both” rather than “x” others. However, it shows seven Facebook avatars. See here: http://mamy.us/bXH8jZ

If you are not logged into Facebook, it seems to only show that one person has liked something, regardless how many actually like it. It just seems to be very inconsistent. In fact, it was even giving a 404 in the iframe for a little while yesterday.

Copy your URL to facebook like api page and test it out.. it will come out exactly the same.. maybe you can ask facebook about it

You need to have a post where more than at least 3 of your friends says liked it

Here's a simple widget that uses the new Facebook Like button:

Facebook Like WordPress Plugin

Feedbacks appreciated on this blog post while waiting for WordPress to approve it and move it to the directory.

(the blog actually uses it so you can test the plugin live before installing)

For some reason it only shows two people at a time for me and does not have the … “and x others like this.” Every time I refresh the page, it just shows a different set of two people who liked it. It is time to do some checking.

I like it very much. I just thought about this today and decided to implement it on my blog. Funny that I should find you on top of this, Ruhani.

I just managed to do it.. I copied the lines and it worked.. or at least it works for me… Can someone try to see if it works? I don't know if I can write my homepage here.. so just add “www. before my username, and “.com “after it

Hey Ruhani (how do you pronounce that?)

For some reason the iframe just does not work on mine�

Ive used the JS one and changed the href php to get the Permalink

<fb:like href=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>” layout=”standard” show_faces=”false” width=”400″ action=”like” colorscheme=”light” />

Although it seems once you click like on like one post it says you like all other posts on the site�?

Another wordpress plugin that lets you see a live preview before you save settings:
http://bit.ly/awqa5C

Nicely done !! =)

My problem with this has been ( not with your code), When it's sent to FB it shows the tittle and link, (With the correct sub domain links on both tittle and link) but when it shows “on” it takes you to the main domain in stead of the sub-domain name where the actually post is. Another words it takes you to the wrong site more or less.

I tried yours and it worked fine but showed double post on the same page, if you no why or if there is a fix for this, please let me know.

thanks! It worked! I had problems 'cause it gave me an error tellimg me that it couldn't get the url even if I made one as this �_� I still don't know where I was wrong..
I have a question though.. How to implement it on the home page? If I put it in index.php liking a post result as a like to all the posts ( I suppose it's cuz it get's the permalink for the homepage right?

I have taken your lead and done this for the Thesis theme. The instructions for doing so can be found here:

http://thewellrunsite.com/2010/04/22/adding-a-f…

yeap mine is set to show_faces=false

Sorry, I do have show_faces=false and it still shows the faces.

Has anyone got it set to not show faces and have it working?

show-faces:false and show_faces:false both still show the faces.

One thing not working is the option to turn off the faces. Even set to false, it still displays the faces.

Any idea whats up?

Actually it is already working .. it seems no other people than your friends
liked it .. thats all
http://twitpic.com/1hjbsv

BTW since you've shown the sample from FB itself.. i dont think I did
anything to that..

plus your own sample is showing correct thing.. LOL!

Facebooks developers url is a uniqe one with many thousands of people
clicking on it.. so thats all different stories..

Yes I know that, it shows you your current facebook friends who liked the post, but what I'm talking about here is that it doesn't show you the total number of all people who liked it. Here is an example: if you try and test “developers.facebook.com” it will show you if you liked the websites, and if your friends liked it, AND total number of people who liked it”
http://yfrog.com/bacountercj
While if I try your post for example it shows me myself, and if any of my friends liked it, BUT no counter of how many people liked your post
http://yfrog.com/j5nocounterj

I found this to happen on most of wordpress websites, while on big websites such as IMDb.com the counter works very well. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120338

Any idea?

Hi Ruhani yep sure thing apologies,

Is this the JS version? On the FB developer site there is two versions�
