I put the facebook like button code as suggested by facebook developer documentation.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=416733691671772";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.domain.com/" data-send="true" data-layout="box_count" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true" data-action="recommend" data-colorscheme="dark" data-font="arial"></div>
Strange thing is that, the code of facebook like button is there when I inspect element in firefox and chrome. And its showing on my localhost as well..
To debug problems with the 'Like' button, always use the Facebook debug tool: http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug

I've included a like box plugin in my page:
<div class="fb-like" id="fb" data-href="http://www.lorem.com" data-send="false"
data-layout="button_count" data-width="60" data-show-faces="true"></div>
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script> (function (d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
} (document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
after click 'Like' and posted to the facebook's wall, I see that the image is weird, I mean i see it is only a small piece of my site's logo. That image on the wall looks like this
what shall I do to make that image to be looking good ?
The answer was, the minimum size of the image should be 200x200, mine was 330x40. And also, the image url should be placed in the og:image meta tag
I get the like button code from https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/, and on my page, the like button is rendered correctly...at least it looks like so :P
But when I click on the like button, the comment dialog appear and disappear immediately, and the button becomes a Confirm link; then I click on the like, a popup window ask me to confirm to like it...then, when I back to my page, I can see the comment dialog. But whatever I input, after I clicked on the Post button, the dialog will not close.
In my Chrome console, I see when I click on the Post button, a request is make to https://www.facebook.com/plugins/like/comment, and the return result is:
for (;;);{"__ar":1,"payload":null}
I compared this behavior on other sites, and it is clear the return is different. But I have no idea why.
Usually that problem can be fixed by using an app id in the init code:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/de_DE/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=xxxxxxxxx";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
That´s Facebooks spam protection...
actually what luschn is right. you should create appID. facebook needs to count the LIKES when one clicks on it. you know, it's so simple. perhaps there's something you need to grab from the button :p
Try this stuff:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/de_DE/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=null";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<span class="fb-like" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/fb-name" data-layout="button" data-action="like"></span>
appID set into null. This works, but it's spamming. This is just for experiments only.
Here's the sample page:
http://developer.appacyber.net/feed/test.php
It also works on localhost :D
Case 1:
I use this code:
(from http://www.mybloggertricks.com/2011/06/add-facebook-like-button-below-post.html)
<iframe allowTransparency='true' expr:src='"http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=" + data:post.url + "&layout=button_count&show_faces=false&width=100& action=like&font=arial&colorscheme=light"' frameborder='0' scrolling='no' style='border:none; overflow:hidden; width:100px; height:20px;'/>
When I click "like", a confirm button comes and when I click like in the new popup window that comes up, I am redirected to https://www.facebook.com/plugins/error/like/confirm
Case 2. I use an iframe from facebook developers,
<iframe src="//www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=data:post.url&send=false&layout=standard&width=450&show_faces=true&action=like&colorscheme=light&font&height=80&appId=324750880918583" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:80px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>
the "data:post.url" used under href does not give me the url of the blog, but the string itself.
Case 3. So I tried the XFBML version from the link in Case 2, part of the code of which is:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=324750880918583";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
This is the error that blogger shows when I try to save the template.
Error parsing XML, line 1201, column 68: The reference to entity
"appId" must end with the ';' delimiter.
Fixing any one of the above would help me greatly.
You have to cut this script from the HTML:
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=324750880918583";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
then go to Blogger Layout, Add a Gadget, HTML/JavaScript, then past the script there.
This should work! :)
I have had a like box for a while on my website but wanted to upgrade it to one showing recent posts. My site is created in iWeb.
I went to the social plugins section and created the box for my page www.facebook.com/rivieracoaching but when I click 'Get code'the dropdown box where it says "This script uses the app ID of your app:" the dropdown box only shows an old page that I have deleted - I can't see any of my actual current pages to choose from.
This is odd because the preview on FB looks correct and in the code it does seem to say Riviera Coaching but when I copy/paste it into the iWeb HTML snippet nothing shows. I googled and an iWeb specialist says to copy/paste the code from the IFRAME section so i did that but no joy. Am I doing something wrong or is this a glitch in FB/iWeb?
The code FB is generating is:
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=124751684204020";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
Please help, this is most frustrating!
You're not forced to specify an appId to simply include a like box. You can use the following js code :
(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;} js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
And then include your xFBML like box code :
<fb:like-box href="www.facebook.com/rivieracoaching " width="292" show_faces="true" stream="true" header="true"></fb:like-box>
I've had my "Like Box" color scheme set to "Dark" for months and all of a sudden it only displays in "Light" (used to be background black and text white). I went to the developer page and it appears the Dark setting is not working the same for the demo either when settings are made for template. Has something changed with the plug-in? Did they change the "Dark" scheme to some kind of transparent background?
i tried facebook developer page and i can get code for dark theme too
see here
code is something like
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;}
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.example.com" data-send="true" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true" data-colorscheme="dark"></div>
