Basically i’d like to put a like button on the website so that fans of the site can like the websites Facebook page.
The Like button page doesn’t give me the code when i click the button, just says “Only verified developers can be added as listed developers of this application. Read http://www.facebook.com/help/?faq=17580 for details.” Is this a common error, or?
EDIT: Using Like box now, but would prefer Like button.
And the like box page gives me the iframe and XFBML codes. Sorry for being a n00b, but how do i add either one onto my site? I’ve tried Insert > Script and pasted it in there, using all four script types (Javascript, JS 1.1, JS 1.2 and VBScript but they don’t show in the preview. Placed the code under the ‘back to top’ button at the bottom of the page. Not showing up when i look at code view of the online version though?
Hopefully its something really easy and obvious, but any help would be great.
Again, site is designed/updated with Dreamweaver MX 6.0.
I dont have that much experience with Dreamweaver – but implementing the facebook social plugins (eg. Like button) is very simple. All you have to do is copy and paste the XFMBL you generate from this link. Once you paste your URL into the “URL to Like” field and click “get code” you should get the correct code to use…
You place this code wherever you want it to appear – if you want the like button to be in the footer just paste it there…
The code snippet actually loads the facebook javascript sdk and places your like button inside an iframe on your page…
You can not place the like button code inside a different element – if that were possible people could trick you into liking their page by writing some different label on the button – eg. “Back to top” 🙂
This should be relatively simple to implement. If you are still having dificulties – why not try opening a new HTML file containing only the required HTML tags and the like button code…
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
