tnx for your answer, but what features will I get more with the appID?

When I follow the link I get this page:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps

But no ID?

[VHLinks]

Man I'm totally lost on the app thing. I must have the settings for it wrong.

I get the "Like" button on my forum no problem, I click it, it works and updates the counter. I look on my Facebook page, and NOTHING is on there. I did register an app and have an ID, and I put it in the plugin settings. Are there some other settings you need to do for the app to make it work? I mean I've put in the URL, email, name...I gotta be missing something.

HELP!!!

Posting that link doesn't mean much because it will be different for different people.
You must already be a facebook member and already be signed into your facebook account for the link to take you to the proper place.

If I remember right it takes you to a page that allows you to create an app, it doesn't just hand you an appid by clicking on it- you have to put in some info and when you are done you get an appid.

Thank you very much for any help. This is driving me nuts!

I put your site in the Facebook Debugger and got this:

https://developers.facebook.com/tool...ks-t52693.html

It's saying that there were too many redirects... if you scroll down you'll see at least two 301 redirects and a 3rd page.

I'm not really sure how or why this is happening- it may be the result of your .htaccess file or the way your domain is setup. I really don't have any more info- hopefully you know what is going on.

Ok that at least helps! Thanks. Something to go off of.

Well once I turned off Zoints SEO and went back to the old way of calling the thread, showtread.php etc....THEN it worked. But I don't want to do that.

Does anyone know a work around to allow the like button to work with redirecting URL's with SEO scripts? I know most most people around here use VBSEO or Zoints SEO. I can't believe they don't have like buttons on their sites.

Well I turned off the 301 directing in the Zoints settings. That seemed to do it. I guess basically it won't redirect the old showthread.php stuff to the right place, but I haven't used that format on the board in like 5 years so I doubt it will matter.

But yep now it's working.

Hey... all of a sudden the thread I "test liked" on your forum last week showed up on my wall this morning- so I guess any past likes will start working.

When I go to get my app id, it asks for a password. I enter my password and it redirects me back to my own wall.

Any ideas??

[BirdOPrey5]

Sounds like a Facebook cookie issue. Do you keep yourself logged into facebook? Maybe try another browser.

Edit: Found the problem, didn't have it uploaded in correct file.

Oops, didn't receive email notification, so I missed your post...
I think I wasn't logged in, because now it works. Thank you. I don't know what I can do more with the app created on facebook, but I have my ID.

Thank you!

Can you add Pinterest button on the update

[BirdOPrey5]

I have setup a pinterest account and am working on how it can be integrated. Since pinterest wants a unique image for each share I don't know if it makes sense to include it yet since choosing a unique image from a thread is well out of scope of this mod.
