I am looking for someone to help me add a like button to the forum software.
We are on phpBB 3.0.1

I would like a button to appear on every post.
It would be terrific if we could add twitter and Pinterest buttons as well.

Email me at lancekragenbrink@gmail.com if you would like to help walk me through
this process...


Many thanks in advance!
LanceK

FWIW the jazz guitar forum does just what you describe, allowing "like" hyperlink on each post (and then showing who "liked" your post). This is a typical thread
http://www.jazzguitar.be/forum/guitar-a ... early.html
Don't know if the system's the same but maybe their administrators could advise you.

Lance,

Found this

https://www.phpbb.com/community/viewtop ... &t=2113726

I don't know what the implications of the tweaks would be after an update to the forum SW.

I'm not a phpBB guy. But that said, this is where the phpBB forums rock. If you go over there and do some searching, you'll certainly find solutions, how to install them and lots of friendly people willing to answer questions (ahhh, the beauty of the human race). It's almost like ... well ... the OLF! : :P

Hmm, will I registered and asked for some help, got told I was soliciting. I was pointed to this.

Thanks Todd
Looks like that is an internal like button. I am looking for a Facebook like button.
Although, this would be nice to have also for those that dont use FB..

Sorry Lance, I'll give it one more try. Here's a tutorial on Youtube that's Facebook specific.

NOW WERE TALKING!
One more tweak, that will put a LIKE button at the top and bottom of the forum INDEX page.
Is there a toturial for putting a LIKE button inside every POST. For instance, there would be a like button on YOUR post that I could click since I LIKED your post..

Thanks for your help Todd!

Modifying the Facebook configurator code to be similar to the following might add the like button to each individual post.

Here is an iframe example:
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=http%3A%2F%2FLuthiersforum.com%2FphpBB3%2Fviewtopic.php%3Ff%3D{S_FORUM_ID}%26t%3D{S_TOPIC_ID}&amp;layout=standard&amp;show_faces=true&amp;width=450&amp;action=like&amp;colorscheme=light" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:25px"></iframe> <fb:like href="http://www
.luthiersforum.com/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f={S_FORUM_ID}&amp;t={S_TOPIC_ID}" layout="standard" show_faces="true" width="450" action="like" colorscheme="light" />


Then instead of adding this to the header/footer boilerplate, add it to /public_html/phpBB3/styles/subsilver2/template/viewtopic_body.html or whatever style template your using.

Here is an article that adds the like per each forum thread.

http://www.ericm.ca/2010/09/02/facebook ... ith-phpbb/

Note that he adds the Facebook bot to phpbb and configures bot login permissions for this to work.
I don't know if you'll need to do the same.
