Kouguu FB Like wraps the new Facebook Like Button plugin into a customizable WP plugin. Updated feature list:
- Use iFrame or FBML (with share/comment functionality)
- Displaying the Like Button is individualy settable on post/page level
- Add OpenGraph metatags to your blog
- View recent activies right on your admin pages
What it’s all about:
The Like button enables users to make connections to your pages and share content back to their friends on Facebook with one click. Since the content is hosted by Facebook, the button can display personalized content whether or not the user has logged into your site. For logged-in Facebook users, the button is personalized to highlight friends who have also liked the page.
Now you can add this social feature without any hard-coding, just install the plugin and use the administration screens for easy setup:

thanks!
it’d be cool if you build the plugin so, it could use xfbml and have this comment/share option as on levis.com – this would be really cool
Hi Christo – done, XFBML is included in Version 2.0.
@christo: This will be integrated within the next couple of days. The next release will include the option to select for each post if the Like Button should be displayed and a separate css file for styling the button area.
Thanks for putting this together so quickly. It works great!

Hi,
Great plugin, I’ve installed it now in my blog (invited to visit, there are some wordpress tips there, and you can use google translate on the left sidebar to translate the Hebrew to your language).
I have 2 suggestions for the next version: one is option to decide if the button will be only on pages or posts or both. There are some cases which it can be usefull, also maybe to limit it to certain categories or exclude specified categories.
Another thing is localization support, so it could be easily translated to other languages and increase the plugin’s spread.
Thank you for so quickly implementing the new FB feature for wordpress.
Hi Maor
Thanks for using my plugin, I liked to see it working on your site. The next version will include an option menu for each post or page to set the button availability.
The localization support is on its way and I would be glad if you would volunteer for a hebrew translation…
Cheers, Nicolas
Let me know when you have a .pot file and mail it to me, I’ll be glad to translate it to Hebrew.
Thanks for the adding the e-mail followup option.
Very nice!
I can’t wait for the feature to select the button to display or not on individual posts and pages! (eg for an ecommerce site, I’d love to show the button on individual pages, but not necessarily on the product category pages)
Hi Caitlin
As of version 2.0 you find a box under your post/page edit screen where you can enable/disable button display.
Cheers, N.
It would be also great if could add subscribe to comments by email to your blog.
Thanks
Done
great
if you need a translation in italian, drop me a line!
Thanks, Simone! I will be in touch with you soon.

Works well.
But is it possible to do an update and offer an [shortcode] for inserting the button?
It would really helpful so we can show facebook, tweetmeme and other in one line wihtout hard coding?

What would be great is an option to manually place a template tag and disable the “position” feature. I would like to use it exactly as it is used on levi.com. I am using wp e-commerce shopping cart plugin and trying to add this feature to each product for easy facebook sharing. For some reason it seems most similar plugins work very well with posts/pages, but I am not able to generate the popup comments box. I am also not able to get it to generate a facebook link that links back to any url other than homepage or any other page url. Seems to be working specifically for posts. Do you see a chance of me getting my way, LOL. BTW, love the extra “recent activity” feature that this one offers that I can’t find elsewhere. I’d love to use this plugin but need to be able to add into template and not automatically to pages/posts. Thanks for reading, and great work!!!
Hi Travis, as of Version 2.1 which available tonight you can use shortcode:
[kouguu-fb-like]Will there also be a php template tag? I want to place it in the template, can you do that with a shortcode, or can you only place shortcode in pages and posts?! I want it one or two specific places in the template so I don’t have to place it everytime. Anyway, you’re awesome, thanks for responding
I researched all day today trying to find the easiest plug-in to install and understand. This was it. Thank you! It works great.
Thanks, Diane! Glad you like it

The plugin works well, but I dont see admin link to on my next button. Any suggestions?
Hi Brijesh
To have the admin link showing up you need to include this tag in your templates
sectionwhere USER_ID is your Facebook User Id. I will implement setting this value on the admin screen in the next revision.
Best, Nicolas

Hello Nicolas,
Unfortunately when I install your plugin on the latest version of WordPress this error message appears :
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘{‘ in /homez.313/yoannrom/www/wp-content/plugins/kouguu-fb-like/kouguu-fb-like.php on line 26
Do you know how to deal with that ?
Thanks in advance !
Yoann
Hello Yoann
I assume you use PHP4 which is not capable of supporting the try/catch architecture in index.php. The next couple of days I will build a legacy version which works with PHP4.
Best regards
Nicolas
I see the button showing on the left of the post. Anyway to easily align this to the right so it’s next to my retweet button?
Hi Mark, depending on your page layout you may achieve this by editing the css file to have the div floating right.
Best wishes, Nicolas
First off — great plugin!
For those looking for a way to exclude this from a particular page/category….this is how i did it.
In: /wp-content/plugins/kouguu-fb-like/library/kouguu/app.functions.php
I replaced my fb_like_iframe function (first function on the page) with this: (you can change the category and/or page id’s to whatever works for you)
function fb_like_iframe($href, $layout, $show_faces, $width, $height, $action, $colorscheme) {
$funct_args=func_get_args();
$params=kouguu_parse_args(‘fb_like’, $funct_args);
foreach ($params as $par_name=>$par_value) {
if ($par_value) $par_list.=”$par_name=$par_value&”;
}
$iframe=”;
if(in_category(7) || is_page(6) || in_category(51)){
}
else{
return “$iframe”;
}
}
And also replaced the second function (function fb_like_fbml) with this:
function fb_like_fbml($href, $layout, $show_faces, $width, $height, $action, $colorscheme) { //
$funct_args=func_get_args();
$params=kouguu_parse_args(‘fb_like’, $funct_args);
foreach ($params as $par_name=>$par_value) {
if ($par_value) $par_list.=” $par_name=\”$par_value\”";
}
$fbml=”";
if(in_category(7) || is_page(6) || in_category(51)){
}
else{
return “$fbml”;
}
}
Hope that helps!

hi – thanks for the plugin
seems to work great – however i don’t see the “brian likes this…” in my recent activity on my facebook page? shouldn’t it show up there? i see my pic and it says i like it on the blog i installed it on. but not on my fb?
when i tested yours above it showed up in my recent activity?
any ideas?
thanks
Hi, I like this plugin and the idea, but when I click the Like, it expands a big blank white area and half covers the OK button, so am not sure what settigns I should have so this doesnt happen. Can you take a look please? http://altenergyreview.com
Thanks
thankyou
