    'Like' link not appearing in postbit

    I just upgraded to vBSEO 3.6 on my vB 4.1 and the Like link doesn't appear in postbit. The like system is enabled. How do I add the link?

    If you are using a custom style, please try it against the vb default skin to see if it works there correctly.

    I'm pretty sure it's the custom style but can you direct me how to add it manually?

    I miss read your post last time around.

    the postbit area under the avatar is not a part of rc1. you need to make a template edit manually for now.

    I think you got me right the first time. The problem is that it is not possible to like threads with vBSEO's system. The Facebook like doesn't appear either even though I enable it but I don't care about that. So how can I add the vBSEO like function manually?

    There currently isn't a shortcut to hook on to like <!--VBSEO_BOOKMARKS--> for example. Perhaps in a future version this will be available.

    in functions_vbseo_ui.php

    you can find the hooks it uses

    Code:
    if($liketree)
    {
    $sfor = VBSEO_VB4 ?
    '<div id="pagetitle".*?>' :
    'id=\\\\"poststop\\\\".*?</a>';
    vbseo_modify_template34('SHOWTHREAD', '#('.$sfor.')#s', '$1'.$liketree);
    }
    for the tree part. you are on vb4, so on your system it is looking for the pagetitle div.

    What about the like link itself? Not the tree.

    That runs via the javascript file, vbseo/scripts/vbseo_ui.js


    The YUI integration is a bit over my head so I couldn't really guide you as to what to change.

    I've just had a quick peek at that code and there is not an easy fix to achieve what you want. I'm sure if someone knows Js and YUI like the back of their hand then a for loop could achieve this on document ready.... until then I wouldnt worry about it.

    However, that said, I too think this should be a default feature. I love they are injected with javascript as it protects keyword relevance BUT I and many others would really like an option to have these links show statically.

    You need to put it to the spot where you want those to appear. No one expect you can know the exact spot you want to display those.
