I used a javascript I found on the facebook developers site. It used to show my pages newfeed on the website and had a like button for people to join the page, it worked great up until around the time they made a change to the pages layout (about 1 month ago), which unfortunately broke it.
The script I am using is http://static.ak.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US
you can see it in action:

I am wondering if, there is something simple that could be change dint he script to get it working again, or if there is another script I could use instead that works with the newer pages format?
I am a php wizard but a js amateur so I haven't even really looked at the code, I just knew it used to work.

What I am trying to do is to make something similar to what I see all the time on almost any website. The button that says Share to facebook. The goal for me is to let my guests share the item they are viewing in my store (Ran on prestashop) on their blog I run (Running on Oxwall).
The goal is for the button to not only link to a blog post submission webpage but to already have the subject line filled out with the item they are sharing's name and the blog post to display the information about the item. I would like to try and do all this using PHP. I am not sure how to go about doing it but I am sure that I could pass the value. Please note that I can mod BOTH the blog site and the shop as I run both and want to connect them.
As an extra bonus I am also running a forum using phpbb3 if I could do the same thing but onto that as well I would greatly thank you. I am trying to interlink everything into one big network. I know its not an easy task but I am sure there is an easy way to pass data onto the other site so that this can be done.
Facebook a 2 tools to get items informations in the page, it parses the page looking for the most common tags and it uses OpenGraph.
You can also provide product informations in the head of your page (between head tags), then blog side, you retrieve only the contents and parse it as XML.
I advise you to cache this data to avoid useless connections between websites and awful overloads while parsing.
You can use your own specifications, Open Graph or another standard, but i advise to use a standard.
Intro: I'm a newbie on both php and Javascript and have been trying to solve this issue for my site (another version of this issue here), but have had trouble putting into effect the answer by LocalPCguy.
(in short: the issue is that with infinite scroll activated, the social buttons work on the first posts that are loaded, but do not work for posts loaded subsequently).
I am working off of a WordPress them, and I've added my social buttons to an existing php file that generates most of the appearance of each post. I seem to be adding them to the right place because the buttons appear where I want them to on each post (only for the first ones on the page). Like the other two guys who posted about this problem, I am using digg digg as my social plugin.
Currently the code in the php file that generates the social buttons looks something like this:
<div class="sharing-button">
<?php dd_google1_generate('Compact (20px)') ?>
</div>
Like I said, this makes the button appear for the first posts that are loaded, but once the infinite scroll tries to load additional posts, the social button will not appear on those posts.
For now I have tried the following:
Add the code below just above or below (taken from the answer here), or inside my <div> containing the buttons in the php file.
if (typeof gapi !== "undefined") { gapi.plusone.go(); }
That didn't work I figured it was because a .php file would need some kind of signal to know that it needs to run a javascript operation. So I looked around and found a couple suggestions on how to do this, here and here. In neither case did I manage to get the buttons to appear appropriately. Below was what seemed like the least idiotic of those attempts:
<?php
echo '<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof gapi !== "undefined") { gapi.plusone.go(); }';
echo '</script>';
?>
I also thought perhaps I needed to pass an argument into gapi.plusone.go(), and I tried passing my sharing-button <div> above, but that did not work either (php code inside a javascript script inside a php block... didn't have high hopes).
At this point I'm not sure what to do - I feel like the solution is probably quite simple but I'm completely stuck, having spent hours reading threads about javascript integration into php and the like.
Does anyone have an idea how I can go about applying that Javascript solution to my .php dependent Wordpress theme?
Many many thanks!
Short Answer: this is not possible.
Long Answer:
FIRST comes PHP, SECOND comes javascript.
The PHP "program" is run at the Server, which is you web provider's server. This server works out all the PHP stuff. After this one is finished, the files of the Website are sent to your computer. It contains, among other stuff, javascript.
And this javascript is only run on YOUR computer, the one you're looking at. Once your Browser loaded the page and starts running javscript, it's already too late to ask the Server for some more info.
There are techniques allowing for that (AJAX is the Keyword), but that's another question :-)
You need to initiate the javascript of the buttons for them to work since infinite scroll loads the next set of posts using ajax. One example I found but it only does it for facebook if the plugin uses FBML:
$(document).ajaxComplete(function(){
try{
FB.XFBML.parse();
}catch(ex){}
});
I'm using a custom implemented Like Box from facebook and infinite scroll and this works just fine.
I apologize ahead of time for the non descriptive title, as I wasn't really sure how to word this.
I've currently switched some of my Wordpress sites that have a responsive design that implement a slider over to WooSlider. Works super well, and I love it. However, there is something stopping me from switching all of my sites over. And I understand this is not a WooSlider only fault, but it's something I cannot Google and find out.
This is happening on every page view, even those without a slider.
In Google Analytics it shows domain.com/?wooslider-javascript=load&t=1352743207&ver=1.0.0 as a page view. For every single page. I obviously don't want this, but I don't know how to get rid of it.
Another example of this happening is using Gravity Forms with a referrer info plugin that shows page views, search query, browser, etc.
When the form is sent, the following is sent via email.
Page visited 1: domain.com/?wooslider-javascript=load&t=1352743207&ver=1.0.0 (http://domain.com/?wooslider-javascript=load&t=1352743207&ver=1.0.0)
Page visited 2: domain.com/about (http://domain.com/contact/about/
Page visited 3: domain.com/?wooslider-javascript=load&t=1352751787&ver=1.0.0 (http://domain.com/?wooslider-javascript=load&t=1352751787&ver=1.0.0)
Page visited 4: domain.com/contact/ (http://domain.com/contact/)
So obviously I don't want that js file to show up as a page view. How can I remedy this?
Thanks!

Hi I've got a site I'm working on it's just a html site with Wordpress integrated to allow a few dynamic features for the client. For some reason IE with Google Toolbar enabled truncates the information and strips the css. In other words it's like it does read anything until it get half way down the page. When you refresh a few times it will change what it does and doesn't display. If I remove the wordpress code fragment at the top(see below) it works, but of course all the dynamic content goes away. The weird thing is that if it's WP generated page it works just fine.
<?php
require('./cms/wp-blog-header.php');
?>
I'm a little lost on this. I'm not doing anything I haven't done several times before with fine results and I can't find anything about it online. Any help would be great, thanks.
I have taken over the development of a website and have written a simple page hit recording script that I've placed in the header.php of the theme. It seems to work great except when visiting the base url of the site. Then, it records two hits, one has the correct url (www.idataresearch.com) but the other one looks like www.idataresearch.com/page/2/. Both hits have the wrong page title recorded as well. I have a feeling it's something to do with the loop or the way the template loader is working. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I have no idea why it's doing this but I've decided to just filter out those weird extraneous results. The site seems to be working well otherwise ...
