Awesome work as always Tomer!

Is there any way to move it to the bottom under "Print" and "View Full Size"... see my site: http://www.affordablefiberoptics.com/four-fiber-dielectric-hfoc-sca-jumper/199-four-fiber-dielectric-hfoc-sca-jumper.html

Thanks as always.

Looks like you got it, if anyone else needs it:

Modules->Positions-> Display non-positionable hook-> Extra actions on the product page (left column)

[AffordableFiberOptics 0]

The Facebook Like module has its own section and cannot be moved.

I've tried moving the other items down... that didn't help either.

Am I stupid or simply missing something?

Thanks!

[tomerg3 618]

Hmm, that's odd, it's a part of "extra left" hook, but it also comes with a custom hook, you can follow the instructions in the module configuration page
and place the new hook anywhere you want.

good workd, thanks for share

[jhnstcks 341]

Excellant module again Tomerg3, just need to be able to track all the people who click like on the products.

[jhnstcks 341]

Tomerg if this was added to hookheader instead of the extra actions would it perform the same, but it would be added into every page including categories,home,manufacturer etc?

me too. :-)

[tomerg3 618]

Tomerg if this was added to hookheader instead of the extra actions would it perform the same, but it would be added into every page including categories,home,manufacturer etc?

I have added the option to use a new hook for this (hookFacebookLike), you can change it to hookHeader in line 192 of facebooklike.php if you don't want to use the new hook that I created.

Tomer.

[LovePrestashop 2]

thanks tomerg3! it is great module. I have a question - after installation, how can I remove the default "face book like"? I have follow the optional installation I have put it on somewhere else. But now I got double "face book like". I can't remove the default one. thanks

[tomerg3 618]

Goto Modules->Positions-> check the "Display non-positionnable hook" box and look for "Extra actions on the product page (left column)"

[LovePrestashop 2]

thanks. I got it.

[Lilja 0]

What am I doing wrong? When someone likes a product, it says on his FB profile. "John Doe likes Awesome product at My shop ip address" instead of My shop name.

Brilliant module by the way, thanks a lot

[tomerg3 618]

The module with send to facebook the current URL that is in the browser ($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']), so people must be accessing your site using the ip address

[chyu 21]

This module adds a Facebook Like button to the product page.

You can configure the size, type, show faces, font, color and text of the button.

You can also display it anywhere you want using a new hook.

It is compatible with Prestashop 1.1, 1.2 and 1.3

V1.0.1 released, bug fix for minimum width of compact button

great work bro...
but.. how can i download the nmodule?

[ObsidianCharms 0]

You need to go through the shopping cart at his page. No worries - it's free.

Also, awesome work, I like this little thing, even tho I'm not much of a Facebook person. A lot of my friends are and when I get my shop back up and going (switching to prestashop currently, so I need to stock my store and set things up), they'll be clicking that like button to help me get traffic. =D

[leelee23 6]

Hi tomerg3 - good work on the module!

Just wondering do you know if it's possible to send anything other than the link of the page to facebook - e.g. Using the Product Name and the link to it? I thought I read you could do it with WordPress but I might be wrong - if not, this would be MEGA to have!!

[tomerg3 618]

It seems to only take a URL.

[projectpb 0]

hey great mod. i just installed it last night worked good then and today where the link was is now just says SERVICE. i did an uninstall and reinstall and nothing.

Thanks
Jeff

[tomerg3 618]

It's controlled by facebook, there may be something else going on, but without a link to the page on your site, there's not much I can do...

[projectpb 0]

It's controlled by facebook, there may be something else going on, but without a link to the page on your site, there's not much I can do...

here it is a link http://www.projectpb.com/store/boblong/48-g6r.html

[tomerg3 618]

Looks fine to me, 7 people like that page...

[projectpb 0]

this odd this is what i am seeing i have mac firefox

[tomerg3 618]

Not sure why (other than the fact that mac = apple = crap).

It works fine here, either way, you are getting the content from the facebook site (since it's in an iframe), so my module has no control over what comes back.

[projectpb 0]

i fixed it it was a firefox thing i flushed the cache and it works fine

[jhnstcks 341]

The facebook servers crashed worldwide and was totally unavailable, that is probably why it wasnt working correctly

[Bella 0]

It shows up on my product page (though I can't seem to get it to change location from in between 'Send to a friend' and 'print'), but when anyone clicks on the "Like" button it displays this:

You like this.Unlike · Error

The Error slides out and it is in RED, *but* the link does show up on Facebook.

I re-uploaded all of the files, made sure they are there, and all is well with that, so what is going on? Can anyone tell me what to fix or look at?

[tomerg3 618]

See post #13 and 14

[Bella 0]

Thank you, that was helpful in clearing up the error.

[jdmorrisn 1]

Am I doing something wrong? I unzipped the .tar file, uploaded the content files to modules via ftp and it shows in BO but nothing on the front office. Every Facebook module I have tried now with exactly the same reults, what's wrong?


- Sorry - posted too early, added the module through BO and works fine now.

[jdmorrisn 1]

Spoke too early

How can I alter the text/ language - I have looked in all the files and the text and image isn't here. I have the problem that it has the 'Like' button in Estonian (meeldib) and the the text 'be the first of your friends to like this' in English.

How can I change it to make one Estonian and one english version?

WoW the facebook, Twitter ect. buttons look very sweet on youre site. how did you do that?

[jdmorrisn 1]

Looked in back office, tools, translations and there is nowhere to change the text in the widget button or the 'be the first of your friends to like this' text - so it is a one language pony?

[tomerg3 618]

Facebook uses an iFrame to display the button, which means that the content is entirely in their control.

The language it determined by the setting of each customer the visits your site.

[jdmorrisn 1]

Actually weird is that it has Estonian language tab in IE but in Firefox it is english - And I haven't changed anything. How can I fix it? SOmeone must know - is this thread monitored by the designer of the module at all?

[tomerg3 618]

I just told you the answer in the previous post (#38).

I'm not sure how I can be more clear about it, the button and the text next to it are NOT A PART OF PRESTASHOP! They are being generated by Facebook on their server, THERE IS NO WAY TO CHANGE IT.

[jdmorrisn 1]

No need to shout mate - apologies - I didn't see your answer - I posted one after the other. I get your point that it is controlled by Facebook and I m just trying to understand how it works.

So, I am sitting in Estonia and I have Google Chrome, Firefox and IE open on my laptop - yet Chrome and Firefox shows English and IE Estonian - how can that work, it doesn't make sense? If they were all Estonian (because of my IP address, then it would make sense).

I know literally nothing about the technical, I am just trying to make a business. So I wouldn't know an iframe from a hole in the ground. That's why I'm a regular and you're a moderator.

Will it be so that if someone in the UK checks my site they will definitely see an English text 'Like' on the button and in Estonia you will 'Meeldib' or it can be so that the UK can also get 'Meeldib'. I hope you understand my point in that I don't want an English speaking person to see the facebook button in another language. And since I can't seem to check it (with two browsers giving me different results) how can I know? How does it work?

[tomerg3 618]

As I said before, I'm pretty sure that the language is determined by your facebook account, if your default language in facebook is English, then you will see the button in English

[jdmorrisn 1]

I think if the browser settings are in one language/region then it will display accordingly. But it cannot 'know' a persons' facebook settings before the person clciks the button or logs in, that's impossible. But thanks anyway.

[Lilja 0]

Hi.

I have a problem with the "likes" disappearing. Say a product has 1 like, it only lasts for a limited time and then it looks like nobody likes the product. I know what you're thinking, that somebody just clicked "unlike" But that's not the case, I've tested it lots of times and the likes don't stick.

[AMBER 0]

HI

My facebook button is fine but when I click on "like" the message display "error".
When I click in the "error" the message displayed is "The page at http://thatbeautyshop/product.php?id_product=42 could not be reached".
What went wrong? Did I left out something?

[SuperDuper 2]

Hello,

I'm Sorry. I am a stupid.
I dunno how to "Add {$HOOK_FACEBOOK_LIKE} in the tpl file you want it to show. "

and should I add
"Add 'HOOK_FACEBOOK_LIKE' => Module::hookExec('facebookLike'), to /header.php below HOOK_TOP around line #15. "
to the header.php if I want to place the "like" to extra right??

Thanks for your help.

[SuperDuper 2]

Can you teach me how to place the "like" to extra right?
Thanks

[DomsAdmin 1]

Great module tomerg3 thanks!!!

[Jevgen 12]

work great on 1.3.6

[RobbieT 1]

Does this work in 1.4?

[snagadeal 0]

Works great in preastashop 1.4 thankyou!!

[outblast 4]

Great module, everything works perfectly with one exception, the product picture that appears in my facebook account is wrong, its the picture from another product, any ideas?

[tomerg3 618]

No idea, the module only sends the URL, the image is picked up by facebook directly.

[tomerg3 618]

V1.1 released, it includes

* XFBML method.
* Support for multiple languages for button text.
* Uses the default product image.
* Disabled for search engines

When upgrading to this version, uninstall the module and install it again

[persephonevintage 1]

hi-

i'm having problems installing this module. i have version prestashop v 1.2 and i tried both uploading a zipped version of the module in the BO and also copying the contents directly into my server. in the BO, i get error messages and when i copy through server, nothing shows up on my webpage. am i missing a step?

[Scotty501 6]

Tomer - module is working great - good work.

persephonevintage - what errors are you seeing? This is a pretty straight forward install normally - did you install it to your module directory?

[persephonevintage 1]

yes, i installed it into my module directory. then i put the hook tags indicated into header.php and product.tpl, where i want to put the button. but the button doesn't show up. i then tried moving the position of the module in the back office and i finally got it to show in the main page of my website when i moved it to "homepage content" but that's not where i wanted the button.

i have a feeling it's a small step i may be skipping? thanks in advance for your reply.

[persephonevintage 1]

when i try uploading the module in the back office, it read "error while extracting module (file may be corrupted)"

[Scotty501 6]

I used it in default mode - ie shows under products - have you tried to leave it as default - and does it show then?

I would download it again - unzip it, and FTP it back to your modules directory. Remove the original file from your modules first. Corruption message etc so definitely worth re-downloading.

The only thing I am not sure is the version you are using - ie is it compatiable etc. Worth checking the notes I guess.

Do you have a link to your site?

[persephonevintage 1]

i tried leaving it as default and it doesn't show. and i've tried deleting and downloading it again. i'm using prestashop v 1.2 and i use a theme called "black and white."

a link to a product page i want to use it in: http://www.persephonevintage.com/tops-bottoms/252-sheer-grey-mint-tip-tail-tee.html

please let me know what you think.

[Scotty501 6]

mmm not sure tbh. I checked your source code versus mine - and you seem to have a few less instances - but that does not mean that is the problem, I use a seperate facebook mod for my main page - so that's probably why.

It maybe a layout issue - but I am no expert in themes etc. Have you tried with the default theme?

[tomerg3 618]

Looks like your theme is missing the default hook (extraLeft).

Try adding {$HOOK_EXTRA_LEFT} in product.tpl where you want the button to show.

[persephonevintage 1]

it worked! thanks so much for all the help.

[outblast 4]

Nice job with the new version, the pictures problem is solved.

TXS

[DARKF3D3 39]

I have the problem that on facebook show wrong image.

I have just update to the version v1.1 but i got the same problem.

[tomerg3 618]

Did you uninstall before installing the new one?

FB uses caching, try it on a product that you did not "Like" before.

[DARKF3D3 39]

Yes, i have unistalled it... could you please try and told me if is correct


Thanks

[Scotty501 6]

Yes, i have unistalled it… could you please try and told me if is correct: http://www.crazyluke.it

Thanks

Works OK to me.

[persephonevintage 1]

me again.

so the facebook button worked for a while but suddenly, it disappeared. not sure why. it first only disappeared when i used firefox but now it's gone when i use any browser. does anyone have any idea why and how to fix it?

[DARKF3D3 39]

Also to me are disappeared all the button, do you know why?

[DARKF3D3 39]

I think that the problem could be this:
http://www.buzzingup.com/2010/12/facebook-share-button-disappeared-from-some-websites-including-youtube/

[outblast 4]

Also to me are disappeared all the button, do you know why?

Same here

[NewMem 0]

Someone attach module zip file to forum, i can't download in Presto web. Thank

[RobbieT 1]

Sorry, nevermind. Wrong topic.

[RobbieT 1]

Great module!

Is it possible to position the module so, that it is next to the Twitter button?
Just were the red box is?

If it is possible, please tell me how .

[tomerg3 618]

V1.1.1 released, it includes

* Support for SSL (include the facebook JS file using https when enabled).
* Hide button + JS code from search engines.

[CosTed 1]

I just installed the module. But i have a problem. As you can see in the picture there is a space between the text. What could be the problem that facebook like button doesnt show up ?

[tomerg3 618]

An image is worth a 1,000 words, a link is worth a lot more

[CosTed 1]

I fix the problem above. It was a conflict with facebook fan module that i downloaded recentlly. But know i have another problem. Here you can see in the picture, can someone help me ? I could give a link but my website know is on wamp server.

[CosTed 1]

So no one has a solution ?

[fjanos 0]

I get this error in red when I press Like button

The page at itt http://www.panamahub.net/www.panamahub.net/eco-tours/51-coiba-national-park-tour-on-motorboat.html could not be reached.

and as you can see I get duplicated URL. They came up with this error at this thread: Facebook like error but I found no solution for this. Help anyone please.

[bedum 2]

Hi i have added {$HOOK_FACEBOOK_LIKE} and 'HOOK_FACEBOOK_LIKE' => Module::hookExec('facebookLike'), and i can see the facebook like button moved to the location i want. I then deleted the default button from the extra actions left column. All works seem fine. But i am still getting the red Error when i click on the like button.

Could you help? i have read the Post 13 and 14. but not work either.
I am using V1.1.1 from http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/prestashop-free-modules/45-facebook-like-button.html for prestashop 1.3.7

-- UPDATE

1) It is successfull if i do like this,

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http://MyURL.com&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&font=verdana&colorscheme=light&height=35" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:35px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

However, the above is already post a static url as MyURL.com to my facebook. I would like the url to be dynamic according to the current product page viewed. so that facebook will show the particular product which the customer like. "<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=.." how to make this dynamic?

2) Also, i observed that whenever i click LIKE, my facebook wall will delete the previous product which i like and moved that to the top as the new one.

3) How to get the exact image which i like to be display to the facebook?what i got is always the same picture on every page that i click Like.

[bedum 2]

i tried this too, but failed with error also



<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href={php} echo 'http://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; {/php};layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&font=verdana&colorscheme=light&height=35" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:35px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

[fjanos 0]

same. The Canonical URL is uninstalled but still the same problem after even ctrl F5
i have even turn off the friendly url but stiill getting errors.

please advice.

Use the facebook like module instead of adding the line in product.php. Delete the facebook line and install Facebook Like v1.1.1 module.

[bedum 2]

Both also failed.

[Gatix 0]

I cant seem to place this:
'HOOK_FACEBOOK_LIKE' => Module::hookExec('facebookLike'),

It said that it should be placed in header.php at Line 15.

But header.php only shows $controller = new FrontController(); $controller->displayHeader(); and a lot of comments.

I'm using 1.4.

[tomerg3 618]

I will release a new version soon with the modification for PS 1.4

[tomerg3 618]

V1.1.2 released, it includes an override file for the custom facebook hook in PS 1.4

[stitched 0]

Ok..I downloaded the Facebook LIKE module and installed it....NOW...how do I get it
on the page that I want it to be on..
Thanks, Newbie here
