Facebook Like button now showing in events

I just noticed that the Twitter and Google+ buttons are showing, but not the Facebook button.

I am running all current versions of the EE plugins.
Any thoughts on what I might need to look at?

Thanks,
Bill

Hi,

I’m sorry about this, it is a bug we have just found, and it has been raised with the developer team to look into.

Hi Dean,

did you find a solution to this bug? I think, a lot of people would be happy about a working facebook-like-button integration on the event-details/event-registration page.

Its not very tricky to realize this by a workaround, but it would be much better to provide a professional solution which we have already paid for …

๐Ÿ™‚

Thanks a lot & Kind regards
Frank

Hi Frank,

I have already upped the priority of the developer ticket to the highest I can, the developer due to look at it has not been in so will pick it up as soon as he is back on duty. I will send him a message as well.

@Kristen – thanks for letting us know. As mentioned the devs have a ticket on this and we will post an update to the add on as soon as we can get it fixed and tested. Bear with us on this.

Any updates on this? If not, then suggestion for how to add this to events by another means? It’s been several weeks and I need to get this up and running. Thanks

Hi,

I have updated a fix for this, it just needs to be authorised and tested. We will release it as soon as we can.

Much appreciation but how soon is “soon”? I need to have something up tomorrow. Thanks for any workaround suggestions if soon is not that soon.

Soon may not be that soon. I can provide you the code to make it function but you will need to register an API with Facebook.

Not that this is untested code, so use at your own risk, though from what I can see it should work fine.

Thanks!

To be clear, what API would this be? Seems that there are several types. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/apis/

Followed as instructed, replacing the code in “espresso-social.php”, lines 131 to 195, but still the same no-FB results.

Hi,

You can create an API key by going here and adding an app https://developers.facebook.com/apps

IF that key doesnt make it work, then please post the full code to pastebin or similar service and I can take a look

This is the full espresso-social.php code: http://pastebin.com/rdEhnMGt

Hi,

It looks like its the API key, as adding the one you are using into the code I have makes it not function as well.

Did you obtain a key from the Apps section?

This seems to work now. Problem was that you have to be a “user” to get the correct API, not as an admin of a page.

Note that the Google plus button is smaller than the Twitter and FB ones.

Adding myself in here so I can be notified when a fix is found. I need the FB button back too.

Thanks, Michelle

Hi mpurse,

This is the fix that Dean came up with that can be added to the current social add-on:
