Facebook "Like" button

[uk_martin]

Is it possible to use this plug-in here - http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,60893.0.html  as something that can be modified to show a Facebook "Like" button, instead of the "share" button?

I have tried this myself, by editing the codebase.php file like this:

find:

Code Select Expand

<a name="fb_share" type="button" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u={$CONFIG['site_url']}displayimage.php?pid={$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pid']}&t={$picture_title}">Share</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script>
replace with:

Code Select Expand

<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:like show_faces="true" width="450"></fb:like>

In other words, using the script that Facebook provide.

It almost worked. The button installed, but when pressed, although it identified me, and said I "liked" the page, it also gave an error, saying that Facebook "couldn't get back to the page's URL" (or words to that effect)

If someone who knows more about the PHP that is in the codebase file could have a look, it may be a simple fix...I hope. It would be good to have a simple "Like" facility in these galleries.

Thanks in advance,

Martin

Theres a post in the share thread near the end that shows the code needed for a like button, though it can be gotten off the Facebook site too.  However the one in the thread will show you what you need to put for the URL and such.  Would suggest checking that out again.

This one? - http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php/topic,65740.40.html

I get another of those "nearly but not quite moments" from this. You can see here - http://www.brummiesfans.com/coppermine/displayimage.php?album=5&pid=42#top_display_media  - that this causes havoc with my theme (or any "Curve" based theme I'd guess).

Any way of getting the button on the side of the image (the one with the "thumbs up") to be the "active" one, and reposition it BELOW the image, and getting rid of the Plain Jane button that currently sits below the image? No need for two buttons, after all.

You don't really need a plugin for this. Just open theme.php of your theme, then under the section

Code Select Expand

// HTML template for intermediate image display of that file find this: {IMAGE}. (you can use ctrl-f to find it). And just under {IMAGE} add the Facebook like code from the Facebook social plugins page. That's all.

right his code broke my template too...had to modify it a bit, play around with the <td> tags some

ended up using the facebook share plugin to add mine in there, changed in the codebase.php:

Code Select Expand

    $html .= <<< EOT
        <!-- Facebook share -->
<a name="fb_share" type="button" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u={$CONFIG['site_url']}displayimage.php?pid={$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pid']}&t={$picture_title}" target="_new">Share on Facebook</a><script src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/connect.php/js/FB.Share" type="text/javascript"></script><br />
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href={$CONFIG['site_url']}displayimage.php?pid={$CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pid']}&t={$picture_title};layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=350&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=dark&amp;height=35" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" align="middle"; style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:350px; height:25px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe></td>
EOT;

Thanks TechnoSounds, that's cured my problem too.

Fantastic to hear!

Couple things about that code...  I changed "Share" to "Share on Facebook"....can be changed to whatever you wish
I also shrunk the like button iframe by 100 pixels.  Seemed to fit better.  If you play around with some table work, I'm sure you could get it to look nicer.

I am new to 1.5 and i am not a php freak.

Hi there,

thx for the Info - works nearly perfect.

I have one additional question (not sure if i have to open a new thread)
The "Share" Button works, but it doesnt show the picture @facebook
as i saw, the guys above got it working.
Maybe you have clue to fix that problem.

Probably need to move this request to the share thread...but if no one has it fixed up by tonight when I go into work I'll start working on it.  I think it'll be a simple fix.

Hey Tekno,

thx - i also hope for a simple fix and wait for your advise before i post in "share"  Topic . .

I have the same problem. The "Share" Button works, but it doesnt show the picture in den popup after clicking the share button and no photo on facebook.

Guys this isn't the topic for the share plugin, and after looking at it, I wasn't quite sure how to implement things, however there is a new FB plugin available that might contain everything we're looking for.  Checking it out now.
