Im also having a problem with the Like button and also the comments. I am getting the following code on top of my article.


JFBCLike buttonStyle=standard showFaces=1 width=450 verbToDisplay=like font=arial colorScheme=light url=http://www.nich.co.il/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1}{JFBCComments xid=content_1 width=550 numposts=10 hideLikeButton=

with the {} brakets of course, but when I paste it here is shows the comments and like.

simply to say the tags are not converted to the actual respective Like or comments. It is the Content - JFBCContent plugin

What should I do?

The tag you are using is incomplete. You need to say hideLikeButton=1. You have that value blank. When I changed the second tag to the following, it worked for me:

{JFBCLike buttonStyle=standard showFaces=1 width=450 verbToDisplay=like font=arial colorScheme=light url=http://www.nich.co.il/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=1}{JFBCComments xid=content_1 width=550 numposts=10 hideLikeButton=1}

I'm having the same problem, both with jfbcLike and Comment. My site is offline due to development, but I have attached a screenshot to show you how it looks.

As far as the jfbcLike is concerned, it works fine being displayed as a module in the left position. However, it does not work in content. As you can see from the screenshot, the jfbcComment doesn't work in neither position. You will see that for the latter, the hideLikeButton value is blank in content, but not in the left position. I am using the jfbcContent plug in and assume that a bug here could be causing the problem. I thought maybe a conflict with JComments could be the reason, but I've uninstalled that to no avail.

I hope the information I've provided will suffice in suggesting a solution. If not, I can give you access to the site, but will have to do that through a PM.

I'm far from being an expert, so I have no idea if it has anything to do with the problems described above, but it is also a fact that after installing jfbc, the website no longer validates:

Please install the JFBCSocial - System plugin. That's what translates the gobbedle gook text above into the actual comment module.

Sorry for the confusion. 3.2 (in the works now) makes this a lot clearer. If that doesn't help, let me know and we'll figure it out!

Thanks! That solved the problem.

hi there, I purchased a different plugin {flike} and put it into my k2 articles... problem is in category view where multiple likes were displayed, clicking one would make them all clicked and disabled/// if I use your plugin can I put it into k2 items, and then view a multiple k2 items in category view, and have all the likes work interdependently of each other?

For standard Joomla content, our automatic insertion of the Like button into articles works exactly how you want, each Like per article in a blog view is for that specific article, not for the whole page.

We don't have the automated version for K2 implemented (yet), but until then, you can achieve that functionality very easily with the {JFBCLike} tags. In each article, at the top or the bottom, simply put:
{JFBCLike href=http://domain.com/link-to-k2-article}
Then, when the Like button is displayed, whether it's in the blog, single-article, or even in a module, the URL that will be Liked, for that article, will be the correct one for the specific article view.

Additionally, we support the OpenGraph tags fully, which let you set the individual image, title, description and other information about a page to Facebook. So, if you did the following in the article:
{JFBCLike href=http://domain.com/link-to-k2-article}
{JFBCGraph image=http://domain.com/best-image-for-specific-k2-article.png}
{JFBCGraph title=Great article about blah}
{JFBCGraph description=Description of article....}

You'd have everything you'd want for a rich post back to Facebook from anywhere on your site. If the user Likes the article from a blog view, since you specify the URL, Facebook should use the Open Graph information from that specific article, and you'll be set.

Hope this all helps, and yes, we've got you covered :)

I am using JFBC with CB and that is working. The Like module is not. I placed the Like module on the right hand side and placed an url in the correct spot of the module but only the intro text is rendered but no Like button.

pvh,
I'm not exactly sure what you're saying is wrong with the Like button. Obviously, it doesn't sound like it's working properly, but I can't seem to grasp what you want, and what is really happening. Can you post (or private message) me a link to the page that the 'bad' behavior is happening on?

Also, I'm not sure your post is really related to this thread, other than it's about the Like button. We'd recommend creating a new thread in the future if you run into issues, unless it's the same as an issue posted in the current thread.

Thanks,
Alex
