Nice work Michaell on this. Although I do have an issue with the Comments plugin which I can't seem to get to show.
I've successfully got the fbLike button to work by putting the code in the codeblock on a news page for instance. However, when I put the suggested code in for fbComments, it just doesn't show the comments plugin!
I have it enabled in Plugins and all the boxes ticked in Plugin Options...
Going to try another one just to be sure.
Using zenFBcommon v1.4.1-Beta [7271] and associated plugins on a Zenphoto version 1.4.0.4 [7122] site
thanks in advance

Alright I grabbed 1.4.0.4 [7130] and did an install. Enabled the plug-ins, added the code to the codeblock. Displays fine here, as can be viewed: http://inthemdl.net/test/pages/test-page
Have you turned the comments on for the page you're attempting to use the comment box on? It does use the hook for Comment control on image/news/page/albums. So if you haven't turned that on check for that on the item. Should be a checkbox that says "Comments On"
Hi,
thanks for this plugin, after all I'm on Facebook and I think I can give a new life to my pictures gallery that is proudly supported by Zenphoto ! Yes because everybody is on facebook ! (fortunately that's not true).
I'm not 100% sure it's working good (I still have a warning that says the pictures (URL) is unreachable...
Also I suppose I need to modified your php file (the script) to change the font size, it's too small for me, or is that a facebook option....
thank you so much

@zed, the URL unreachable error is because it takes some time for the facebook scraper to check your site. if you've setup your settings in your facebook application properly it should work fine after a bit of time.
The font bit is set via facebook, and while they allow you to specify what style of font from a list of their options, unfortunately you cannot set font size.
You could test out some css styling to see if it'll affect it, but as all the facebook plugins load via iframe now I don't think it will. Worth a shot to test though.
Hi micheall!
I tried you FB "Like" function on my fotos and followed the steps creating ID and finding my name on FB.
Whenever I now try to "like" some of my pics, the small comment space comes up and closes without a cause, displaying an "Error" behind this "Be the first to like" and FB icon. If I click on "Error" I'm redirected to FB Error Page, saying that the APP-ID is not allowed for this domain and I have to configure the Connect Base Domains so that it is an prefix of my domain http://mydomain.com/.../pic.jpg.php. But the Connect Base Domains are "mydomain.com".
Basicly APP-ID does not match domain. Funnyhow the "like" with the pic appears in my FB profile. After reloading my pic page it says: "XYZ likes this." So it worked. So why that error?
The Comment function does not work at all.
How's that?

Thanks for the note, yes you'll have to create the new APP-ID like you did etc and make sure it's properly input into your options. The bit about image being unreachable happens because likely when you first installed the plugins and attempted to use it, Facebook crawled the site and got the error. The problem is that Facebook doesn't crawl the sites constantly, in fact last I read there wasn't any definite timeframe that it used to crawl and index the site.
You can force Facebook to scrape the site by looking for the URL Linter and have it run on the URL but that would be troublesome if you have a lot of images. Eventually though, the error will clear up as Facebook re-caches the site properly. Wish there was an easier way to fix that, sorry.
@All
I've been kind of afk to real life, I'll be touching on the programs and my zenphoto again shortly to make sure everything functions with the most up-to-date release.
