Facebook Like Box

Question

I'm trying to add a Facebook "Like Box" to an existing website, as described here

The Page I'm promoting works just fine in preview-box on that page. But when I copy/paste the code as shown to my website, it instead shows a fraction of an empty facebook page with only a partially visible error message.

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?profile_id=SenRandyGordon&amp;amp;width=260&amp;amp;connections=10&amp;amp;stream=true&amp;amp;header=true" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:260px; height:px"></iframe>

I cannot figure out what I'm doing wrong, and I added "Like Box"'s in the past, before Facebook released their new API.

Please help?

Answer 1

Change profile_id=SenRandyGordon to profile=1&id=SenRandyGordon It work for me

Answer 2

John's answer might work. Haven't tried it. This worked for me: change "profile_id=" to just "id=" in the embed code.

Answer 3

Solution

You have to replace all the "&" of the Facebook Likebox generator code with "&" - then it works.

Combine this method with Lemmy's method to make it work.

So the final result looks like these instead

<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?profile=1&amp;id=SenRandyGordon&amp;width=260&amp;connections=10&amp;stream=true&amp;header=true" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" allowTransparency="true" style="border:none; overflow:hidden; width:260px; height:px"></iframe>

Answer 4

I also faced same problem using facebook's social plugin. In this plugin if user enter wrong input then security question comes with random generated code with 2 words, but user can view only 1 word means it shows partial part..

Here is Onther solution .... It Really Works!!!

<script type='text/javascript' src='http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US'> </script>
<script type='text/javascript'>FB.init('aaafdced248eed501f09f66e3c5b7de9');</script>
< fb:fan profile_id=\"118774364811981\" stream=\"0\" connections=\"10\" logobar=\"0\" width=\"244\" height=\"240\" css='serverside_facebook.css?1'> </fb:fan>

I used above code in Java verticalPanel.getElement().setInnerHTML("above code");

It really works!!!!!!
