XF 1.5 Facebook 'recommend' button not appearing

[Derek Zeanah]

Facebook integration is complete, and the test works, though this seems unrelated.

Facebook integration is enabled in the control panel, and it appears like this when I view the page source:

<div class="section infoBlock sharePage">
<div class="secondaryContent">
<h3>Share This Page</h3>
<div class="tweet shareControl">
<a href="https://twitter.com/share" class="twitter-share-button" data-count="horizontal"
data-lang="en-US"
data-url="http://www.thehighroad.org/index.php"
>Tweet</a>
</div>
<div class="facebookLike shareControl">
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.thehighroad.org/index.php" data-layout="button_count" data-action="recommend" data-font="trebuchet ms" data-colorscheme="0"></div>
</div>
<div class="plusone shareControl">
<div class="g-plusone" data-size="medium" data-count="true" data-href="http://www.thehighroad.org/index.php"></div>
</div>
</div>
</div>

So it's trying to show. But none of my browsers on either of 2 machines (here and at my datacenter in another geographic location) see the box show up. I asked my users and they are seeing the same behavior - twitter and g+ buttons are there, but not the facebook recommend.



Disabling the feature eliminated the gap between the G+ and tweet buttons.

I'm at a loss as to what the problem might be. Has anyone seen this before?

I guess I'm the only one seeing this, then.

I see it happening on your site, but it looks like a Facebook issue of some sort as what's being returned by Facebook is empty. Unfortunately, I'm really sure why. The only reference I can find is if you set some sort of geographic or age-based restriction policies (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/...ow-up-for-logged-out-users-only-for-logged-i/).

I found the setting (not really a facebook user) and it looks like that's not it, as the settings were like this by default:



At least I know it's not Xenforo so I can poke around in more productive places. Thanks.

The problem was resolved by going into Style Properties: General and choosing a Facebook Plugin Color Scheme. Neither had been selected.

Once I chose one, the buttons started showing.
