JavaScript - How To Easily Create A Facebook 'like' Button On Each Page Of Your Website
I've been told by many reliable sources that getting people to 'like' your site on Facebook is a great way of increasing your site traffic and getting a site ranked higher on Google and other search engines.
However, it is hard work to get it implemented correctly. What you want is to have each page individually 'liked' rather than the site as a whole. To do that can take a lot of time-consuming fiddling around. We've created a simple piece of Javascript that allows you to create a custom 'like' button on each page of your site. Because we've had some help from other members with some bits and pieces of Javascript coding, it only seems fair to share something in return. Prerequisites You will need to get a Facebook Application ID from Facebook themselves. This is a unique Application ID for your domain. The easiest way to get one of these is to go to http://developers.facebook.com/docs/.../plugins/like/ and enter the details for your domain. Then click on 'GET CODE' and copy the 15 digit number from #appId. You then paste this into the Javascript as shown below. Adding the Facebook 'like' button to each page - changes to HTML In the <head> section of your HTML, add the following piece of code: Code: <script type="text/javascript" src="SocialMedia.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
FacebookSetup('Your page title goes here', 'image-to-show-on-Facebook.jpg');
</script>
At the point on the page where you actually want the 'Like' button to appear, you then add the following piece of code: Code: <script type="text/javascript"> FacebookLike(); </script> The JavaScript Now create a JavaScript file called SocialMedia.js: Code: var facebookAppID = "xxxxxxxxxx"
function FacebookSetup(title, image)
{
var url=window.location.host + window.location.pathname;
document.write("<meta property='og:title' content='" + title + "' />");
document.write("<meta property='og:type' content='article' />");
document.write("<meta property='og:url' content='" + url + "' />");
document.write("<meta property='og:image' content='" + hostname + "/images/" + image + "' />");
document.write("<meta property='og:site_name' content='" + sitename + "' />");
document.write("<meta property='fb:admins' content='" + facebookAppID + "' />");
}
function FacebookLike()
{
var facebook="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=" + url + "&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=250&action=like&font&colorscheme=light&height=35";
document.write("<iframe src=" + facebook + " scrolling=no height=35 frameborder=0 style=border:none; overflow:hidden; width:250px; height:35px; allowTransparency=true></iframe>");
}
Change the value in the variable facebookAppId on line one to your Application ID (as explained in the prerequisites section above). What happens once you've implemented this? Once you've implemented this, you should see a LIKE button on your page. If you are a Facebook user and have cookies set to always log you in, you'll find that when you click on this LIKE button, a link to your page will appear on your Facebook page, along with a thumbnail photograph as specified by you when you called FacebookSetup in your HTML code. Other people who follow you on Facebook will then also have the link to your site appearing on their News Feed. If you are not logged in when you click on the LIKE button, you will be prompted to log on to Facebook before the information appears on your News Feed. What are the benefits of using JavaScript to do this, rather than writing the HTML code for each page? Many sites have created a blanket site-wide 'LIKE' button and embedded it into their HTML. Whilst this is easy, it is limiting - the LIKE button always has the same title, the same picture and sends you to the same page on your website. Of course, it is possible to write custom HTML for each page, but this can soon get messy and then becomes more difficult to maintain. As an alternative, this JavaScript is simple and tidy. The code makes it simple to create unique Facebook 'likes' for each page, with custom text and custom images. It also keeps your HTML tidy, thereby making it easy to maintain in the future. Hope this helps, folks. Similar TutorialsI got a template from here . It was great because I was able to edit it and then download the personalized altered code. BUT I can't figure out how to edit it to get the information to submit to me. I really need to get their resume and information. I dont know if it should submit to my webspace or my email. Email would be easier but either is fine so long as I can read them. When I downloaded the zip file for the application form included a CSS, Images and Scripts folder also an index html page. In the Scripts folder was a file titled wufoo.js which I think I read right to be JavaScript. Within that script is where I think my problem is Code: function disableSubmitButton() {
document.getElementById('saveForm').disabled = true;
}
You have to pay a montly fee to wufoo.com inorder to have your form information sent to them. But I just purchase a domain and hosting so I really dont want to keep having to buy memberships all over the net. If I need to I can attach the zip file Hey I'm looking to create a button like Facebook has that just says Like. Since I have little JavaScript experience I was wondering if anyone could point me towards a tutorial or code me one. I could do it with just a link and PHP but I want to use Ajax. http://venturebeat.com/wp-content/up...ike1020909.png I have three divs, Step 1, Step 2, Step 3. I'm trying to get it so when a person clicks the Facebook Like, the style changes to none and Step 2 is revealed and when the Facebook Share is clicked, the Step 3 is revealed. But when I like the first thing, it doesn't change to Step 2. Any thoughts? Code: <div id="Step1"><table border="0" width="630" height="174" background="images/step1-2.jpg"><tr><td valign="top" align="left" style="padding-left: 215px; padding-top: 80px"><br />

Hi, I'm wanting to create a pop-up window that shows upon entering on the website with two buttons that have different functions. I'm wanting the first button, when clicked, stops the message from appearing again. -Similar to the "do not show again" option that uses cookies from this thread.. http://codingforums.com/showthread.php?t=173115 And the second button, when clicked, redirects the user to a URL Is it as simple as using the code from the thread above and some simple javascript buttons?

I am creating a new <button> this way: newBox = document.createElement("button"); newBox.setAttribute("class","custom"); newBox.innerHTML = "<span><span>" + element[j].getAttribute("value") + "</span></span>"; newBox.onmouseover = function() { this.setAttribute("class","custom customHover"); return false; } newBox.onmouseout = function() { this.setAttribute("class","custom"); return false; } newBox.onmousedown = function() { this.setAttribute("class","custom customClick"); return false; } newBox.onmouseup = function() { this.setAttribute("class","custom"); return false; } element[j].parentNode.insertBefore( newBox, element[j].nextSibling ); But I need to change the type of the button to "button". Every time I try to change the type to either "button" or "submit" my browser just freezes. but If I change the button type to reset it works fine. Is there another way to change the type other than button.type = "" and button.setAttribute("type","")? Basically I want to create search filters for different types of properties, first all types of properties will show but when you click 'detached properties' then only detached properties will be shown?

Hi to everybody, I created a site and added a sound on click events a hover. But not all my website visitors prefer it, so I would like to add a button to mute these click sounds. Is this possible? Please help me because I don't have a clue on how to proceed. Thanks very much in advance Dimitri I want to implement a javascript function where a submit button will be submitted from the parent page each time I close a child page. Please let me know what I did wrong in my code and please elaborate your answer so that I could understand it better. Thank you so much for your help. I have the following jscript code but it is now working. Code: window.onunload = submitParent;
function submitParent()
{
var doc = window.opener.document,
theForm = doc.getElementById("finalForm");
theField = doc.getElementById("finalSelected");
theForm.submit();
theField.trigger('click');
}
My form from the parent page is as follow. I want my jscript to just click on the submit button once. Code: <form id = "finalForm "name= "finalForm" method="POST" action=""> <input type="Submit" id = "finalSelected" name="finalSelected"/> Ok so im new to javascript and I have a button in an interface for an app. It's like drag and drop and i want this button to link you to a certain website searching for what the user types in the searchField1 box. The button is button16. Such as you type dogs into the text box and you click the google button among other search engines and it will redirect you to a google search doing a search for dogs. But how do I make this button search google and search for whats in searchField1. I would really appreciate the help. Im looking everywhere to learn this but just cant find it. If you could tell me how or send me a link to a tutorial that would be great. Thanks! Here is the code: I don't know where and what to add to do that. Please help. Hi, I'm quite new at Javascript and I'm trying to create a script that will save me a lot of time when creating my website. I'm gonna try to explain what I'm looking for by taking a simple example. I have a page 'Portfolio'. On this page I have thumbnails of my work. 'OnMouseOver' will have the bigger version of the image appear on the screen (no need for a click). The images are named 1001, 1002, 1003, etc. The thumbs are named 1001_th, 1002_th, etc. When I click on one of the thumbnails, I want the page "Details" to open, on which only the picture and the description is different for every project. The rest of the content will be the same every time. What I am trying to do is avoid having to create a page "Details" for each one of my projects (up to 100 and growing). I figure there must be a simple solution to 'take' the number of the picture and put it in a standard "Details" page. Any help on this will be much appreciated! Thanks, M. Hello, I want to create a page that allows the user to select 2 images as options, when they click one, a new page is dynamically loaded with a list of options they can choose again (like a sublevel of the image they clicked on). From there it will just continue moving down like a hierachy Can someone help me with the basic script forthis to work so i can mess with it and edit it to my needs ^ Thank you in advance I would like to create a link from one page to another. Easy - I know. But I would like that link to to take me to a certain part of the other page, specifically towards the bottom of the page. Is that possible to do? And if so, what are the different ways I can specify where in the page to go? (i.e. what are the parameters that I can play with) Thanks! |
