When I click on the "like" to an article on my site, it is automatically posted on facebook,
It 'possible that the "like" in that post on facebook are additional to the site?

thank you

Are you saying that when someone like's an article from your site.. if someone else clicks the "Like" in the wall post that is created, that it will count for the article on your site?

If so, unfortunately, that's not how it works. Because the like box can have a comment on the article, or other user entered information, the Like on the wall post is for the Facebook user's comment, not for your site. It still will post that comment to their wall, for their friends to see, with a link to your article, but doesn't add to the article's Like count.

Hope that helps explain. That is Facebook's design, and there's no way we can change that.

It will be a coincidence, but the number of "like" in my post on the board is equal to the number dsi I like on my site.
The process was not instantaneous, that shouts I received the "like" 10 minutes before they also appear on my site.
But since the two are not connected, it can only mean that users have clicked on the link, open my site and clicked on them also "Like"?

Is possible know who else has clicked on the "like" the first and last name?

Thanks

There's no way to know who Like's a page by asking Facebook. With our email notification, we have a task to add the user's Joomla username to the email, if they're logged into your site. Beyond that, I don't think Facebook will let us get information about the user without specifically getting their permission.

Facebook really tries to stop any type of promotions/rewards for clicking the Like button. They want all clicks to be valid, honest clicks, so they don't make it easy to determine who has clicked the button or when.

Hope that helps explain!
