And you need to not refer to vbseo.com in the 'like url'.

That doesn't work. If I click on the facebook like link i will always redirected to the root of forumhome. :/

And you need to not refer to vbseo.com in the 'like url'.

Yes, of course! I have also not made.

If I'm not totally mistaken, global_start isn't fired on the CMS. Try parse_templates.

guys, someone has to update first post with the current working code, because i cant understand what and where, i have to do wrong step by step from first post to get it working correctly.

please update first post or post latest code under my post.

For vBulletin 4 you need to use Facebook "like" Button for Vbulletin
For vBulletin 3.x you need to use Facebook "like" Button for Vbulletin

If you need further customizations , you need to read the whole thread.

Code:

<!-- Facebook Like -->
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.vbseo.com/$facebook_liked_url&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&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:75px"></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']; 


Hello, thanks for this mod. I'm using 3.8.4 and using the above code in showthread template. Need I change hook location from postbit_display_start to showhtread_start?
And when user click on "like", it shows the url in his facebook profile/board? Because I tried and in my account I see only that I like the home url, not the thread url

Thanks to everybody

Hi

What I try to accomplish is that the facebook like button is in the breadcrump navigation.
I want users to be able to like "forumhome", "forumdisplay" and "showthread"

I included the like code into the navbar_link template:

<!-- Facebook Like -->
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.patientenfragen.net/{vb:raw facebook_liked_url}&amp;layout=button_count&amp;sh ow_faces=true&amp;width=150&amp;action=like&amp;fo nt=tahoma&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=21" allowtransparency="true" frameborder="0" scrolling="no" width="150" height="21"></iframe>
<!-- / Facebook Like -->

and it shows up at the spot where I want it to be.

I created the plugin for global_start with:

$facebook_liked_url = $_SERVER['VBSEO_URI'];
vB_Template:reRegister('FORUMHOME',array('facebook_liked_url' => $facebook_liked_url));
vB_Template:reRegister('FORUMDISPLAY',array('facebook_liked_ur l' => $facebook_liked_url));
vB_Template:reRegister('SHOWTHREAD',array('facebook_liked_url' => $facebook_liked_url));

But if I click the button it shows that I like every page on my forum not only the one I clicked it on.
Also it does only show my main forum title and not the Thread Title or the Subforum Title.

How can I fix this?

Thanks

Found the solution:

I had to add:

vB_Template:PreRegister('navbar_link',array('faceb ook_liked_url' => $facebook_liked_url));

to the plugin.

Now it works

Hi Mert,

This hack is working fine. Do you know the code though to only show the number of users who like the page instead of their profiles and pictures? Sort of like this...

Doubleclick (DFP) better than pure Adsense? You can use Adsense and more

In the open graph version, this works. not sure about the iframe version, but try:

in the url, change 'layout=standard' to 'layout=button_count'


...iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.vbseo.com/$facebook_liked_url&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&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:75px"...

Can this be placed anywhere on the forum? - for instance, Digitalpoint has it at the top of the page.
