Facebook 'Like' Buttons

[Dave Iannone]

Facebook has added a ton of new social tools you can embed on your site to enable 'Like' functionality on any page on your own site. But I'm having trouble getting it to pull the URL of the specific Ning Page within the script. Any thoughts?

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://www.fullurlofningpage.com&layout=standard&show-faces=true&width=160&action=like&font=tahoma&colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:160px; height:80px

Thanks
Dave







For example, to get it done in Wordpress, you do

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<?php_the_permalink();?>&layout=standard&show-faces=true&width=160&action=like&font=tahoma&colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:160px; height:80px"></iframe>

Basically, I just need a snippet of code to call in the URL dynamically

I second this. Ning, can you help us out and show us how to put the Like buttons on our posts?

[Dave Iannone]

I've tried lots of things, including JavaScript document calls..but...that doesn't seem to work on all pages for some reason ... need whatever server-side code calls in the full URL of the page ...

Update I got the IFRAME Version working, but not the SDK version

Attached text file

Iframe_FB_likebasic.txt

Also just FYI, if you put the SDK Javascript code on your site, it breaks things like the WYSWYG editor on posts and such ..so..looks like only the IFRAME versions of these Facebook things work for now on Ning

Thanks Dave. I got the other working fine, with the specific URL.

I was just about to start tackling the SDK integration. I'm so glad I found your post first!

Thanks again,
Jen

I was able to get this working on my site... however...

the only way I could get it to work was to add it under coding that I have already done in text boxes. It really made no sense to use it anywhere.

I dont know what to say about this.

You got my attention. Can't wait to see this on my site... Thanks, Dave & Alice for kicking this off.

A small step in the right direction though, looking forward to this feature implemented by Ning!!!
