Facebook Like Box plugin

Apr 13, 2012 6:04 AM

I started a Facebook page based on a website built in GoLive CS. To bring people to it, I want to place a Like Box on the website. I obtained the Facebook Like Box plugin code:

 

1. JavaScript code goes in source after opening <body> tag - ok, that's done.

 

2. Code for the plugin: Facebook instructs, "Place the code for your plugin wherever you want the plugin to appear on your page."

 

I placed a GoLive Plug-In Object on the home page where I want the Like Box to appear. Where does code get pasted in the Inspector? In the Inspector More tab, the checkoff for Code is grayed out.

    You can ignore GoLive's plugin object. This might be easier...

     

    While in Layout view, type "PUT-IT-HERE" wherever you want the gadget to go. Switch to Source view and find the text "PUT-IT-HERE". Replace that text with the code provided by Facebook.

    Thanks for your suggestion but it is not working for me. When I paste

     

    <div class="fb-like-box" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/_________________________" data-width="292" data-show-faces="false" data-stream="false" data-header="true"></div>

     

    in place of the PUT-IT-HERE placeholder in the Source, it is just blank on the page. Of course, I've also pasted the Facebook JavaScript code in the Source elsewhere in the body:

     

    <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>

    It wasn't showing up in GoLive Preview, but when I uploaded it and viewed it online, there it is! Thanks, Marian!
