  • 0

I currently have a like button on my app and I need to detect when this is clicked so that I can trigger some javascript.

Currently I use this:

FB.Event.subscribe('edge.create', function(response) {});

In order for this to work you must use the FBML version of the like button. It does not work with the HTML5 version.

I am wondering what the situation will be from Jan 1st when FBML is deprecated?

Thanks

    FBML and xFBML aren’t the same thing.

    xFBML is used to add buttons easily to web pages.
    FBML was a language used to develop canvas apps.

    If FBML is deprecated, xFBML isn’t planned to be removed !

    Please Note: Our deprecation of FBML does not impact XFBML (eXtended Facebook Markup Language). XFBML is a set of XML elements that can be included in your HTML pages to display Social Plugins. When your page is loaded, any XFBML elements found in the document are processed by the JavaScript SDK, resulting in the appropriate plugin being rendered on your page. The JavaScript SDK will continue to support XFBML after the deprecation of FBML (save for the fb:serverFbml element which is used to execute FBML on our servers).
