It's probably a case issue. Make sure that you're using "buttonStyle" (lowercase b, uppercase S, and no space). If that still doesn't work, let us know.

We're probably going to change it to be case insensitive in a future release because this problem comes up every once in a while. We don't mean to make it inconvenient, but we always want to make sure we don't mis-interpret what someone may be trying to do..

Hope that helps, but if that's not the issue and still doesn't work, let us know and we'll come up with an even better, and cooler solution!

First off -- EXCELLENT support. Thank you thank you for the consistently fast replies (very rare indeed!)

On this one, though, I'm not sure I understand the reply. In my template/article, I'm simply putting this:

<div id="jfbclike">{ JFBCLike }</div>

(again, minus the spaces). My expectation is that the code that is rendered by this respects the parameters that are set in Extensions > Plugin Manager > Content - JFBCContent > Plugin Parameters. Yet, it doesn't seem than any of them are. What am I missing?

I can certainly place the

Aphils,
I can see where the confusion is coming in. The {} tag for JFBCLike, the JFBCLike module, and the Content plugin are all different beasts. The, under the hood, eventually call the same code which renders the Like button, but you'd need to specify the parameters for the tag individually. The reason is to give you flexibility to put the button on different pages in an automated way and format (plugin or module) or a much more targetted and selective way per page ({} tag).

Now that you bring it up though, I can see adding some ability to set the defaults for the tag in a future release.

Hope that all makes sense and helps get you on your way to get things working better!

Got it -- thanks! I thought that those extras were just for overriding the settings in the plugin, thus the confusion.

But works perfectly after adding them. Thanks!

Yeah, I never thought about it being confusing until you said it.. now it's obvious how it could be. We realize we have a lot of options all over the place for different features like that. It's intended to give maximum flexibility, without too much hassle. I do think we'll have some way to set some defaults for the tags in the future, but until then, glad you go everything going.

Thanks for the feedback, and good luck!
