Facebook "like" Button for Vbulletin

I want only button count and want under post near reply button
could you guide under which code i have place above code

Why don't you ask those questions to original mod author ? I believe you guys are missing that we are offering support for vBSEO here.

ok thanks

I was just looking into replacing the facebook share button on my thread pages and I was surprised to find that this little button adds quite a bit of extra fluff, including 5 js files, 5 css files, 17 image files! WOW!

The images are all pretty small, but there's almost 200k in js files!

FYI, this is the code I was using (on 3.8) with the added little plugin above - the small button, only displayed in the first post. I would highly not recommend putting this in every post

Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread' AND $post[postid] == $GLOBALS['qrfirstpostid']">
<!-- Facebook Like -->
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://site.com/$facebook_liked_url&amp;layout=button_count&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light" 
scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:100px; height:20px"></iframe>
<!-- / Facebook Like -->
</if>

work perfectly
but i want to know if still need plugin ?

Surely must be a variable for this, how else do you list threads on the forum display page? All those links go to the first page of the thread.

It's important that people all like the first page URL rather than each individual page.

I'm using 3.8.4

Thanks again!

Yes, use showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid] instead of vBSEO variables. It get's redirected anyway when crawled by Facebook, so the SEO friendly URL actually appears on Facebook despite the fact you provided a non vBSEO URL.

Code:

<!-- Facebook Like -->
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://yourforum/showthread.php?t=$thread[threadid]&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;font=tahoma&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:25px"></iframe>
<!-- / Facebook Like -->

Create a new plugin with the following content using

Product : vBulletin
Title : Facebook Liked vBSEO Integration
Hook Location : postbit_display_start
Execution order : 1

PHP Code:

$facebook_liked_url = $_SERVER['VBSEO_URI'];
vB_Template::preRegister('postbit',array('facebook_liked_url' => $facebook_liked_url));
vB_Template::preRegister('postbit_legacy',array('facebook_liked_url' => $facebook_liked_url));

Hey Mert,
Works fine on 3.8 threads.
I wanted to add this to 3.8 Blogs, but it isn't working.. added the same plugin to blog_entry_display_start but the URL isn't parsing..

Can you help me?

Thanks

In order to get this working in blogs , you can change plugin location to global_start

Hey Mert:

I use a custom portal for VB wich pulls the last 10 blogs.

My code for the blog title bit is:

Code:

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/blog.php?b=$blog[blogid]">$blog[title]</a>

wich is automatically replaced by a VBSEO friendly URL.

Example:

Code:

http://www.universitarios.cl/universidades/blogs/universitarios-blog/287-el-gobierno-y-sus-soluciones-que-no-solucionan.html

But my "I LIKE" button, wich is just under this linked blog title, it is becoming

Code:

http://www.universitarios.cl/universidades/blog.php?b=287

How can "I LIKE" button has the SEO friendly URL as my link does?

Thank you in Advance!!!

Rodrigo, edenx
