Problem with displaying fb like/comment box in virtuemart products

Cydonian,
Currently, it's not automatic to add those to a product page. However, there's 2 ways to add the Like button easily to each VirtueMart flypage:
1) Use the JFBCLike and/or JFBCComments module and set it to show on your VirtueMart Menu Item. This will show the Like button on all Virtuemart page, and the link will be to each individual page that it's shown on
2) Insert the {JFBCLike} or {JFBCComments} tags into your VirtueMart flypage (or other) template files. This allows you to easily add the Like button to any page in a very customizeable manner.

Additionally, it's a good idea to add the Open Graph link for each product into your Virtuemart Flypage template. Adding this will make sure that if a user Likes or Comments on the product, the right image appears in their profile. For more information on how to do that, see the article below (which is very similar to what we're recommending in step #2 above):

Yeah, we need to fix some things on this forum. We had an automated bot spammer the other day and really locked some things down.. will be easing up on those things soon.

As for your issue.. the Like button is an instantaneous change. Adding a Graph image can take between 1-3 days for Facebook to rescan the page and 'see' the new image, which is what is sounds like you were seeing.

Hope you're all set now!

Gabitu,
Definitely strange, and haven't seen that before. If the {JFBCLike} tag isn't being translated, that means the JFBCSystem plugin isn't doing it's job. We've seen that before if the System - Cache plugin is enabled. If so, please make sure the Cache plugin is ordered higher/after the JFBCSystem plugin. If not, try disabling all caching (temporarily, at least), and try again.

Finally, if that doesn't work, it may be Virtuemart somehow loading the page while bypassing the system plugins. If so, that could be annoying, but we may be able to still help. Would it be possible to post (or Private Message) the URL of the pages with and without the issue?

Thanks,
Alex

Oh yeah, thanks for the compliments on JFBConnect! We definitely appreciate the feedback, and thank you for subscribing. Without subscribers, we couldn't continue adding great new features (JFBC v4.1 is coming later this month, and is going to rock) and provide a great level of support.

Thanks!
Alex

Gabriel,
Just tested on your page. We're going to have to do a little investigation. Selecting a new attribute is causing an AJAX request back to your site to reload just the 'inner' contents of the page with the new attribute information. That AJAX request is going straight to Virtuemart, bypassing Joomla altogether.. which means that our System plugin isn't firing. Is that how Virtuemart works out of the box, or is that something special you have installed? Know Virtuemart a little, but not completely.

We'll let you know what we find, but like I said, it will need some investigation.. so it won't be immediate.

Thanks,
Alex
