Facebook content plugin in content doesn´t show likes in box_count...

Can you link to a page with the problem so we can see what's happening? Not sure what it would be as we haven't heard of that issue before.

Thanks,
Alex

Ahh.. I guess I misread your original question. I thought the count wasn't showing at all, not just when it's at 0. Facebook and LinkedIn both do not show a 0 count. I think it's to hide the fact that no one has liked it, which could prevent others from doing the same (Why am I the only one?). Once it's Like'd though, the count should increase. I actually just liked the page you linked too, and the count shows as '1'.

There's no way to force the 0 count to show.

Hope that explains,
Alex

Thomas,
The Like Box and Like Button are for completely different purposes, though there can be a little overlap, as I'll explain.

The Like Box shows information about a specific Facebook Page. It can be configured to have a Like button for that Page, show recent admin posts to the wall of that Page, and show user pictures who have Like'd the Page. In general, it's a mini-window into a Facebook Page. It's good for promoting your Facebook Page, and that's it.

The Like button is a way to garner Like's for each URL on your site (home page, articles, etc). It has no connection to your Facebook Page, unless you configure the URL for the Like to point to your Facebook Page. That way, you can have a simple like button for your Page without all the extra stuff of the Like Box (stream, avatars, etc).

Both modules work if the user is not logged into Facebook for display. However, if the user wants to click the Like button, if they aren't logged in, a popup will appear for them to login to Facebook.

Some URLs from our site with demos:

Or, check out the Facebook Plugins information page which has their descriptions for each.

Hope that explains, but if you have other questions, just let us know!
