Hey there - newbie here and brand new to SS. I've already figured out how to add Paypal button functionality into my page templates, but I'm stuck on adding a simple Facebook "Like" button. I've gotten the code from Facebook and coded the page template file (Page.ss), but the button isn't showing up.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!!

Edit: using SS 2.3.4

Would you be able to put up a sample of the code you tried to embed in the page?? This would help in diagnosing the issue.

Yes - here is the code:
As per the instructions from Facebook, first added the following:

<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>

then the rest:

<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.solaceinternational.org" data-send="true" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true" data-action="recommend"></div>

thanks for any help!

Facebook recommends putting the <script> code in the head, so I would try that first. Then put the divs within the page body.

hi @scottsaz

I've created a simple Facebook module that incorporates the Like functionality into two lines of template code.

After the body tag add this

<% include DownloadFacebookJS %>

Where you require the Like box, add this to your template

<% include FacebookLikeButton %>

The module also incorporates the option of including Facebook metadata and of displaying a Facebook LikeBox page on your website.
