Problem with JFBCLike plugin

That's not good (or right). We had a problem similar to this in the 3.0 release, but fixed it. It's possible this is similar, but we'll have to test.

I'm assuming you're using the JFBContent plugin? Or are you using the JFBCLike module? Just want to make sure how you're inserting the Like/comment box into the article so that we focus on fixing the right thing.

Thanks!

We've done plenty of testing with exactly that scenario, and you shouldn't be having that problem. Can you post a link to the page you're posting that on? It will help us see what's going on.

Thanks, and sorry for the troubles.

Ahh, the issue there appears to be that the JFBCLike tag is being sucked into the meta description on your site, and then being replaced with the Like button. So, the meta description has a like button in it, and browsers don't know what to do with that there, so they just display it.. with the bad side effects that you're seeing.

For now, I'd recommend that on the K2 articles you're inserting the tag into the top of, that you set the Meta Description for that article in the admin area. This (I'm pretty sure) will prevent K2 from just taking the first paragraph and using that as the description. Alternatively, you can insert the JFBCLike tag at the bottom of the article.

I've taken a note of this issue in our bug tracker and will see if there's a way that we can prevent this behavior in a future release.

Hope this helps, but if you have any questions, issues, or suggestions, please let us know!

Oh yeah, we're also working on getting the JFBContent plugin (which automatically inserts the Like and Comment box at the top or bottom of articles) to work with K2. That may also hopefully work as a fix for you as it prevents the need of manually inserting the tag.
