Hi,

I've been rolling around to get the facebook like button to work in a product/group page, displaying the correct preview image. I got the FBML for the like button, but is there anything special required to get this to work properly?

Hi Nuno,

To add your facebook like button you can add this code into your product/group template:

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=YOUR_URL"
scrolling="no" frameborder="0"
style="border:none; width:450px; height:80px"><iframe>

Also you can use one of the following dynamicweb tags to add Share buttons into your Page Template:
DwAddToAny.Small, DwAddToAny.Medium, DwAddThis.Large, DwAddThis.Small, DwAddThis.Compact, DwAddThis.Expanded

Or you can write the html code into your product/group template like this one below:

<div class="addthis_toolbox addthis_default_style"><a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250" class="addthis_button_compact">Share</a></div><script type="text/javascript" src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/250/addthis_widget.js"></script>

I think the problem is to specify a specific image from the website to go on Facebook. If not specified correctly it might take image that you dont want to go there (eg. credit card logo..).
If anyone has a solution for this i would very much like to hear about it.

Hi Guys,

I got two solutions:

1. Old Facebook code - Legacy - You have to insert the absolute src in the href attribute

<link rel="image_src" href="http://www.marionnaud.pt/Files/Billeder/Marionnaud/Coty/3414200324038.jpg" />

2. New Facebook code - hopefully available in a new future

So when will this be possible? I’m also struggling with a Facebook like button for ecom.
