This is version 2.0 of the Facebook mambot button for individual content articles that gives you the latest Facebook linking functionality. It has been designed specifically for Joomla 1.0.15/ Joostina 1.2.

It has just been tested on both Joomla and Joostina and you can see it here in action: http://www.goodwoodantiques.co.uk

This mambot will automatically place a small facebook button next to your articles. If your visitor is logged into Facebook then it will link the article to his facebook account.

Facebook like this button on

individual Virtuemart products.

It will also work on virtuemart 1.0.15 product items as long as you make a change to one VM product file:

shop.product_details.php

in this folder: /public_html/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html

Find this line:
$template = preg_replace("/{vm_lang:([^}]*)}/ie", "\$VM_LANG->\\1", $template);

And add this code immediately beneath:

//.01 Code added by Dean Beedell to call joomla plugins STARTS

global $_MAMBOTS;
$_MAMBOTS->loadBotGroup( 'content' );
$tmp_row = new stdClass();
$tmp_params = new mosParameters('');
$tmp_row->text = $template;
$_MAMBOTS->trigger( 'onPrepareContent', array( &$tmp_row, &$tmp_params ), true );
$template = $tmp_row->text;

//.01 Code added by Dean Beedell to call joomla plugins ENDS

Ensure you enable the plugin after installing it.

If the facebook link does not appear at first, do not worry, it will, try clearing the Joomla cache and the browser cache and then stick the { facebook }{ /facebook } moscode tags (without spaces) in a content item and set Manual URLs to ON.

A couple of refreshes after that and it should start to appear site wide. Sometimes it takes a while for a Joomla 1.0 plugin to wake up!.

If you like this plugin consider getting in touch with me email me here to say how much you like the plugin. You can also make a donation by sending some money via the paypal donate button below.

This is the latest version 2.0 of the bot that gives you the latest iframe Facebook linking functionality. Remember, this is the only Facebook "like this" mambot plugin for Joomla 1.0.15 and it has taken a lot of effort to develop the 2.0 version, so a donation is appreciated.
