Facebook Share/Like Option: Any idea how to create this?

[ScreamingMidget]

Please see attached image.

I'm wanting to create the same thing, where they can like my Facebook page and/or share the current post/page.

Does anybody know exactly how to go about doing this?

Hi buddy,

Facebook have an API just for this. I'm unable to share links yet however if you google search "facebook like button api" and go to the developers facebook page you'll find exactly what you're looking for.

Hmm. Do you mean this? https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/like-button

It doesn't appear to show the div/css needed to create the image in my OP though.

Yes. That's the like button itself. The image you have in your OP will require someone to either use that websites code or you'll have to get something to write the necessary CSS & code for your site as that's something totally custom.

Yeah, that was my question really in the OP. To find a way of doing it. I may try a freelancer site.

Use facebook API

you have to use Facebook API, or try researching hundreds of Facebook plugins (there are literally hundreds for any platform, wordpress, joomla, drupal etc...)

If you are not strong in coding, you will have to hire someone, facebook API is not a basic HTML

 

[ScreamingMidget]

Yeah but the API is just a communication. The image in the OP looks to me like it's using CSS plus of course the Facebook API, like all share/like buttons use. I was just asking on the off chance that somebody had done something similar on their sites.
