This Joomla 1.0.15/Joostina 1.2 (ONLY) mambot puts the Facebook Javascript Development Kit Code on your page. Why? because it is needed by Facebook's XFBML method when putting a like/recommend or share button on your website, as Facebook say: "The JavaScript SDK enables you to access all of the features of the Graph API and Dialogs via JavaScript. It provides a rich set of client-side functionality for authentication and rendering the XFBML versions of our Social Plugins."

For example if you have version 2.0 of the Facebook mambot adding the following code will add a Like button to your page.

< fb :like send="true" width="450" show_faces="true" />

Putting this code in the page (without the spaces around fb) would result in a nice pop-up "like this" appearing in the right place in your page. For more details, see the Like button documentation.

This mambot will also work with any other facebook API functionality you care to implement on your site. See here for Facebook examples:

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/

What does the mambot do? This mambot puts the Facebook required code at the bottom of a content item and it does it only once per page. You can see it the mambot in action on this site, just "view source" in your browser and search for the following code:

"window.fbAsyncInit = function"

When you find this line you will see the embedded code doing its job on each web-page on this site.

To make this mambot work you need to obtain a facebook API code. You enter this access token into the JSDK mambot configuration page. This id is used as an access token when your site interfaces with Facebook to show the various "like this" buttons as well as other FB provided functionality. To get hold of a ID code you will need to visit Facebook's "Create an App" page and register your site.

This mambot works with version 2.0 of the Facebook mambot as provided on the lightquick download page below. NOTE: This Facebook "like this" mambot provides various methods for displaying the "like this", one of which is the XFBML method. The JSDK mambot is required in order to support the XFBML method but not the oldshare nor the iframe method.

If you think this is all a bit complicated blame Fecking Facebook, not me. I am happy to install and configure it all for you - just ask.

I will create a joomla 1.5 version of the JSDK mambot soon, it should be easy enough to do. This mambot does not yet work on Joomla 1.5 not even in legacy mode... so don't try!
