I have a custom image which I would like to use rather than the standard facebook like styled one. I have this working but it only ‘shares’ the page rather than ‘liking’ it.
I was wondering if there was a way to use jQuery or javascript SDK to make this button ‘like’ the page as I don’t agree with using CSS to ‘mask’ the standard button?
Its a pitty its not a simple as twitters API to make a custom button…
Any help on this would be much appreciated!
Cheers,
Dave
You can use the Graph API but the problem is that you’d need to create an app and then get the user the allow that app to publish to their stream. A lot of faff in my opinion.
My understanding of why it’s like this is because if one could programme it without the user authing the application then that application can spam a load of users into liking stuff they didn’t like.
