Alright, the site is back up and running and should be clean and clear. If anyone notices any missing/broken links please contact me and let me know.
Edit: and now that it's up and running it appears all the zenFBSuite works fine with this latest version. I'll touchup the zenFBSuite code a bit later to make sure all available options are usable etc still.
Hi guys, sadly it appears Micheall's site is still down. I managed to download the plug-in's and get them installed while the site was up briefly last week. However, I failed to copy the code that is required to make the "Like" button appear. Would it be possible for someone to post that for me?
Much appreciated, Ree.
Errr... my site's down still?
http://inthemdl.net/ works for me. Try clearing your browser cache? Anyways, the information you're needing is:

It is also documented in the plugin file itself. I suppose I can put all the instructions in a text file too.

Oh, WOW! Sorry, I was clicking the link in the first post to get there before and it wasn't working. Sorry, I should have checked the files, too... I didn't even think to look there! I guess I am used to having some sort of ReadMe file.
Thanks so much for the reply, Mike! I'm off to try to implement this code.
Just installed this plugin and it works great. Just a question though, when "liking" an image in the gallery it does not show up in the users facebook news feed only on their wall, whereas "sharing" a video eg on youtube appears on news feed (ie shown to all your friends)
Could we have the "share" option on this plugin which will result in more exposure therefore more traffic to our galleries?
It actually should share the info/image to the newsfeed, at least it does in testing on my site. Give me a test, goto the site and click like on a random picture or two, you should see them on your newsfeed.
I think what needs to happen is facebook has to scrape your site first. Which it does once every 24 hours (while adhering to your cache expiry), or when you force it to via the URL Debugger under tools (which can be found here).
Also, as a note. Facebook is currently in court over their new design (a timeline instead of newsfeed), once they get clearance to use it, I'll have the add to timeline released. So, things will change again soon and I'll have to update to fix. (Already doing it against the beta release of timeline).
Edit:
Also note, that if you're sure you have everything working right and you're still getting links that aren't pretty showing up on facebook, it's because they're changing the opengraph tags and how the links work when being fed. So I'm working on updating that and should hopefully have that done by this weekend.
The plugins installed beautifully for me. It did take a little while for Facebook to scrape my site and to get "likes" to show in my news feed. I also had to work out a few kinks, but using the Linting page and the Debugger really helped me resolve those issues.
Thanks for the great plugins, Mike, they are truly wonderful and have even more functionality than I had imagined!
I even tested the like demo at http://inthemdl.net/pages/zenfblike
The like appears on my wall, but it is not showing in newsfeed.
If I "share" any link from any external site, it appears in the news feed. Has facebook changed the way "likes" and "shares" are processed?
I was having that issue, panjabi, but entering my Facebook User Id into the "Full Name" box in the Admin panel Users: (Master) account seems to have remedied the problem.
I also had to purge my html cache from the main overview screen.
I figured this out by using Facebook's debug tool. When I debugged a url from one of the images, I got this error:
Object Invalid Value: Object at URL 'http://www.fishworldfyi.com/gallery/All%20Fish/Algae%20Control/' of type 'article' is invalid because the given value '--my name was here--' for property 'article:author' could not be parsed as type 'profile'.
Going to the Users: Master account and changing my name to my Facebook ID fixed it.
