couple of questions.... first what kind of application are we supposed to create?

and before i click the like button there is a grey box below it....

couple of questions.... first what kind of application are we supposed to create?

Go to http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php and create an app. There isn't any particular type of application you need to create. You should also fill in the Connect URL and Base Domain under Connect tab for your app.

also, i am getting an error when i click the like button....

If you haven't yet created an app and used it's id in the code, you'll get errors.

and before i click the like button there is a grey box below it....

A link to the page should have been particularly useful in this case.

[darkonia]

[sleevedbiker]

you must fill in the app your base domain and your connect-url

yeah the URL in the connect fixed everything but the error... let me go add it to the base domain to.

[sleevedbiker]

what exactly should be going into the base domain because neither http://sonsofanarchyforever.com/forum/ or http://sonsofanarchyforever.com/ work.

[soumik]

Use sonsofanarchyforever.com.

I'm working on fixing the bugs right now.

The Facebook like button on animorphsfanforum.com is the iframe version, while this mod uses the xFBML version. Two completely different methods to implement the Like button.

The iframe version (the one on my site) isn't quite functional (I'm having problems with ampersands in URLs), while this one is more or less functional.
