"Facebook" add-on is available for testing.

Only two social plug-ins are integrated into the 'Facebook' add-on at the moment:


  1. Comments - The “Comments” plug-in allows users comment on any piece of content on your site (any pages, news and products).


  2. Like Box - The “Like Box” plug-in enables users to like your Facebook Page and view its stream directly from your website.



    Download link: http://cahek.simtechdev.com/download/index.php?action=facebook



    Install this add-on and open the settings page.



    App ID - to get an App ID, you should register your on-line store as an application. You can do it by following this link: http://www.facebook…s/createapp.php



    Please test this add-on and let me know the results, whether we should improve something or fix any bugs.



    Thank you. I look forward to your feedback.

Please provide the page URL which you specify in the settings of the add-on in the ‘Page url’ field of the ‘Facebook like box’ section.

Please check whether the site URL specified in the settings of your application in Facebook corresponds to the URL address of your dev site.

okay, no that was my bad, I put our URL not the FB URL. I sorted that out, is there any news on the extra whitespace?

Please check whether the site URL specified in settings of your application in Facebook corresponds to the URL address of your dev site. The URL specified in settings of your application in Facebook and the URL address of your dev site should coincide.

Go to your application page in Facebook and click on the ‘edit settings’ link, then go to the ‘Web site’ tab. Specify the URL address of your store in the ‘Site URL’ field (for example: [url]http://cahek.dev.cs-cart.com/test/[/url] ).



This should be enough to make the add-on work.

Here is a screenshot of the add-on. The “Like it” button + the block with comments and ‘Facebook like box’ are displayed there.

wonderful, all is well now thank you. Is there any chance of a like box to sit on the homepage for the default url?

actually, it’s still not quite working how it should I still get this on some products, the cache has been cleared etc etc. I have worked out that this will occur when another block is active which we have at the bottom of the page which has an also_bought filing block active on the same page. When the also bought block is disabled or removed then the second “like” button dissapears.

I have 2 issues:


  • The product image does not show in FB when you enter a comment.


  • I can’t use both the like button and the comments tab. It looks like it’s either or… How can I do to have both the Like button show next to the image and a Comment tab in the Products tabs?



    Thanks for the great mod!
