Re: URL of page

ok Vlad helped me little bit so far, and this is what i got:

href={virtual_path}<?=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']?>

it does link correct link, even on face its likee www.something.com//somethinc.html

(note 2x // )

but it works. new potential members will have to register to read those pages anyway.

what it doesnt work is credentials.
since uri command dont pull credentials, this code up redirect every like on login/register page which is wrong.
(it means even every like is separately on the way to the server -from the server its not because this command redirect all different "likes" on same page - login)
so ... now to solve that one and voila smile

if anyone have some idea, please post smile

Re: URL of page

without, but there is session (credential) issue still hmm

actually we have 2 variables.

Title of page
and URL


title is what will be shown on fb when someone like and for blogs etc should be unique.
url identify "like" so it is counted and showed.

with this up, i have unique url for each "like", i have problem still with pulling title of url + i have problem with disappearing likes from news feeds on facebook hmm

Re: URL of page

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href={virtual_path}<?=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']?>
&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=false&amp;width=250&amp;action=like&amp;font&amp;colorscheme=light&amp;height=80" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:40px;" allowTransparency="true"></iframe>

Re: URL of page

rexi

first get rid of the {virtual_path} and add you path
like http://www. freshmetropolis.com

two  add the ""

href="http://www.freshmetropolis.com<?=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']?>"

works better
still trying to figure everything else out smile

Re: URL of page

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
<script>
  FB.init({
    appId  : 'YOUR APP ID',
    status : true, // check login status
    cookie : true, // enable cookies to allow the server to access the session
    xfbml  : true  // parse XFBML
  });
</script>

Re: URL of page

ok i think i got it to work.

please keep in mind that fb news feeds update like.. every 15 min, or so. it think it depends on servers load.

as far as i see for now - both iframe and xfbml works good, however xfbml shows good url (no additional /, even its not so important since new users will have to login to see that page -and they will be directed to good url then)

i will let one link live and see how it acts and will inform u how its going

Re: URL of page

Ok, it works almost brilliantly...

I've added:

<script src="https://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1"></script><fb:like href="http://www.MYDOMAIN.com<?=$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']?>" layout="button_count" show_faces="false" width="100" action="recommend" font="arial"></fb:like>

to a number of templates so that the "Recommend" button appears only where I want it to appear eg blogs, so that members can post a particular blog to their Farceburke wall. The problem that I am having is that a completely random picture gets associated with the blog, even if the blog has it's own picture.

Any ideas on how to solve this?

To see what I mean, go to my site http://www.desperatesailors.com/blogs and post one of the blogs to your Farceburke wall.

Re: URL of page

I suspect that I need to add something like this

{top.virtual_pic_path}{member_media_path}{entry_picture}

somewhere. But where?
