Noob question about "like"

It's a limitation of the Like button that you're using. Until Open Graph Actions, Facebook had one Like button and it was always for Like'ing a URL/Page. With the new Open Graph Actions, you can create your own Like button (with the same functionality as the standard Like button) but then use the Open Graph tags to say the 'page' the user is looking at is an image (or gallery, or profile, or whatever). Then, when they click that Like button, it will say "John likes a photo". You can make it "John LoVeS a photo" too, if you'd like.

That's done through our Custom Actions. It's something we need to document a lot more, but it's (mostly) possible now.. with a little elbow grease, that I know you're up for digging into.

The first thing to do though is create an 'object' for the page/url that you're using. That can be as simple as using the custom Open Graph plugin we have already and just specifying the query parameters for that page... or creating your own Open Graph plugin to automatically assign the type.

If confused... well.. let me know!

Thanks,
