Like and Send buttons disappeared suddenly from articles?

I'm running JoomFish verson 1.0 and Joomla 1.5.15 with VirtueMart verson 1.1.5.

Standard language is set to Sami. I run with three languages ​​(Sami, Norwegian and English). It works on all except "Sami".

This has functioned quite excellent so far, but suddenly they just disappeared for my articles in Sami language.

Glad to hear everything's gone smoothly so far.. now let's help you fix this.

The problem is most likely that the Sami language isn't supported by Facebook? Can you use the page below to search for the language locale you're using?
www.facebook.com/translations/FacebookLocales.xml

If it's not there, then the Facebook Javascript library won't load. If it can't load, then the buttons will dissappear, like you mention. If not, you can use the Configuration -> Facebook API -> Facebook Language Locale Override setting of JFBConnect to 'force' a language to be used on all pages. Unfortunately though, that will work for all languages, so if you chose en_GB, that's all users would see (even if Norwegian would be better).

If you find a code that would work as a replacement for the Sami language, we can likely help you add some quick code to switch the Sami code to the new one just inside JFBConnect (not affecting JoomFish at all).

Let me know how that goes,
Alex

Oh... Looks like they have removed Sami language altogether?? But thanks so far ... :)
But now, how to contact Facebook to ask why they have removed the Sami language? :)

Are you sure they ever had Sami? If it's not supported, you can try to use their Feedback form for apps. Not sure if you'll get a real response, but it's the best way to let them know that they should support a feature:

Hope that helps. If you need any help switching Sami to some other similar or preferred language for Facebook stuff, again, just let us know!

Best of luck,
Alex
