I'm not sure what Share you're talking about. The share button itself has been deprecated by Facebook, and we no longer (since v3.1) include the Share button in JFBConnect. The Like button, according to Facebook, is the recommendation for 'sharing' a page to a user's friends.

Hope this helps, and if I'm missing something else, just let me know.

Thanks!

yes of course i mean the "like button" "button_count"...

now it works again, might be a facebook temporary problem (it wasn't counting :)

i still see a problem in explorer9 (on ff works better) with the comment box that is opened after clicking the button. you can see that? does it belong to fb js?

Just wanted to make sure. The share button caused us a lot of problems when they changed it around, so I still cringe when I hear 'share'.

Glad it's working again.. no clue what was up. Facebook, just yesterday, put out a big change to the Comment box. They notified us of the change in early March, and we were ready for the update in the 3.2+ release of JFBConnect. However, the new box seems to be having some issues on Facebook's end. These should be resolved automatically as they update their Javascript code, but if you continue to have issues with the comment box in 24-48 hours, let us know and we can investigate further. Common issues (right now) are a continuous loading symbol and/or only the first 1-2 most recent comments showing.

Hope this helps, and good luck!

i don't mean the comment box but the text you can apply to the button:count when you click it.

anyway i found some other website and i see they have the same problem. it's about their JS :)

at first i tought was a conflict with some other js inside my joomla website.

thanks for your reply.

do you think you will introduce "SEND" button in the next release? thank you

No, unfortunately, we can't change that text.

The Send button is coming in the next update, we expect. The Joomla 1.6 release pushed back the next Joomla 1.5 release a little bit. We're in the process of merging them together better so that features added to one will work in the other, and when that happens, we'll be on a roll. Expect the next (likely 3.2.2 release) of JFBConnect late next week, which should have some ability for the Send button included.

Hope that helps, and good luck!

i mean this with text box.
this blinked and had some visibility problems but now works a lil better. i'm almost sure this belong only to facebook development because i saw a similar behaviour in other websites too.

Evil,
Sorry I didn't get back to this post sooner, I think I missed it.

Both of you,
Can you post a link to the page this is occurring on? Also, can you try Liking the page with different Facebook accounts. Specifically, if you have your account setup to use a Page as your wall, can you try disabling that feature temporarily? We've been seeing a lot of issues with that feature enabled lately, and unfortunately, there's not anything we can do about it on our end. However, more evidence of the problem helps us to pressure Facebook to fix that with more bug reports.

Any info on when and how that error appears will help us get the problem fixed one way or another.

Thanks!
