JFBCSocialShare module

Hi there,

Im trying to get this to work but having followed the tiny amount of documentation there is about it, I still see nothing.

Im assuming thats because it should just work if I follow the documentation which as far as I can tell is as follows:

========================================================
The JFBCSocialShare module will show the sharing buttons for the current page, letting the user share pages from your site back to their social network. These share buttons includes Facebook Like / Share, Twitter Tweet, LinkedIn Share, and Google +1. The module can be in a fixed or floated position. You can see an example of the JFBCSocialShare module on sourcecoast.com floated to the bottom of the page.

The example parameters to get started like on sourcecoast.com:

Basic Options:

Layout: Button Count
Orientation: Horizontal
Position: Float
Margin: 5px
Padding: 5px 0 0 5px
Background: #fff
Float from Top: 3000 (this puts it at the bottom right of the screen)
Float from Left: 3000 (this puts it on the right side)
Facebook Options:

Show Like: Yes
Width: 85
Height: 20
==============================

So Ive followed that and still nothing. Its enabled and yet I see noting.

Any ideas,

Paula

Ah yes that was me messing about with it for a while. I put it in a sidebar and whilst it did show up, it messed up everything else.

I currently have it in a position called float.

What is the recommended position.

I apologise if this is written down somewhere in some docs but I just couldn't find it.

Hi Alex,

Yes that all makes sense thanks

Hi guys,

Just one further query on this.

I see now that the thing works and I have set it to show Facebook and twitter however I am at a loss to understand what actually happens if the Facebook button is pressed.

We tried pressing it whilst logged on as a user who is registered on the site with an associated Facebook component however no mention of this was made in their Facebook activity log.

Even more confusing is the fact that it is present and increments when it is pressed without anybody logged in to the site.

Could you advise please what actually happens when this button is pressed?

thanks,

Paula
