Is there any way to automate the addition of a Facebook "Like Button" to each blog post?

Thanks!

Yep - you can add it to the skin.

For example, see http://tek.ms/dz4C0p - we have the Facebook like button in all blog posts.

Great, thanks for your contributions. And now I am also looking into the built-in way to make it work and in my oponion it should be easier.

Cheer.

Matt thanks for the response.

Can you share any additional details as to how you implemented it?

Are you using the Iframe version?

Sure. Yes, I'm using the iframe version. I find it works best within a table structure, and all it takes is a couple of lines within the DetailView.ascx for your skin.

Below is the excerpt from my skin, which ensures Facebook get the correct link. I pop this below the toolkit:Toolbar section of the skin.

<td style="text-align:left;vertical-align:middle;">
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=<%=Entry.Link%>&layout=standard&show_faces=false&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:50px;text-align:left;"></iframe>

Matt,

Excellent, thanks for your sharing. As I mentioned, our module also support more easy way to do it from v3.7.1. Just follow the steps below:

1) Enter the "Customize" panel from dashborad.

2) Switch the "widget" tab and choose the "Footer in the post" item from the dropdown list.

3) Cope the code like that:

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=[permalink]&layout=standard&show_faces=true&width=450&action=like&colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:70px;text-align:left;"></iframe>

4) Click "update"

It will work well and please visit here to see how it action - The Latest in Blogging Innovation

Later we will convert it into a tutorial with more detail, including Matt's way. Hope it makes sense.

Kind Regards

Baldwin
