Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted August 10, 201113 yr In IPB 3.2.x Facebook like button is hided under Facebook Share button. Demo, click that Facebook icon in bottom of this topic. I know you wanted to save space, but IMO, hiding Like button is bad choise. Example, if random user comes to board and likes some topic he found via Google or something, he doesnt see Like/recommend icon anywhere. If you look for Like button, you dont hit Share button. I fear i loose some FB-Likes because of this new design. If you dont know IPB, you cant know that Like button is hided under share icon. And btw, that feature only works partially now. If Facebook connect isnt active, you dont see Like button at all at the moment because of unfixed bug.
August 11, 201113 yr I agree. I never understood why it's done like that. I personally like how xenforo has done. Plain and simple and easy to use!
August 11, 201113 yr I don't follow you and what your saying... it's a share link.. it allows you to share the link... Is anyone else confused on what he is talking about?

Facebook "Like" and "Share" are different functions. IPB has merged them into one. This is like button: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/like/ Share button is bottom of this topic.
August 11, 201113 yr Management We thought it more organize to have all social sharing features in the share strip rather than dotted about the page.
August 11, 201113 yr Author We thought it more organize to have all social sharing features in the share strip rather than dotted about the page. Yes i know :) But like i sayd, if you look for Like button, you dont hit Share button.
August 11, 201113 yr Facebook is phasing out the Share button from what I understand, it'd be best to just replace the Share button with a like button.

Exactly my point... this board only uses the share feature... if you want a "Like" feature, then look for or make a hook for it. :)

August 12, 201113 yr I don't see that when I hover over or click the FB icon. You won't on this board. I imagine the OP cares about his board. ;)
