Not to worry I think I have got it going.

Hi, I wonder if you can help, I am trying to setup the FB like plug in. When I click to like something I get an error from facebook saying it cannot load the page, which points to my forum plug in folder. How can I fix this? I assume its something I have done wrong? Cheers

Hmm, I was under the impression that the FB like button should be viewable on news.php as well (similar to the retweet button) and not only when viewing one particular newsitem by clicking on the newstitle. You can still use canonical URLs on news.php that's why I suggested using the newsid variable instead of getting it from the query

Either way I think it's great you're making plugins for e107, especially since things are stagnating a bit lately

acr0nym, I think you perhaps haven't fully comprehended the way FB Like button behaves.

It is meant to be used for canonical URLs and it passes certain meta data along with 'Like' info when someone likes an item. This is how Facebook perceives it and not me.

Ah alright, the reason why I suggested using the newsshortcodes/ variables is because now the facebook like button only shows when you are actually viewing one particular newsitem. When you are on the main page (news.php) it does not show any facebook like buttons because the NEWSID cannot be retrieved from the url.
