DEPRECATION NOTICE: This tag will no longer work with new SML application instances on Facebook fan page tabs from March 10th, 2011 onward. This is due to Facebook's migration of tabs from FBML to HTML iframes with XFBML, along with the fact that there is no support for this tag in XFBML. For more details please visit our blog post on this topic: http://blog.involver.com/2011/02/facebook-drops-fbml-in-favor-of-iframes-advantages-challenges/

What to use instead:

Notes

This tag is intended for casual "Liking" and should NOT be used as part of a voting mechanism for anything with high security requirements like a contest. There are ways to get multiple "Likes" per user registered, though they are not easy. It is extremely effective for normal "Like" use, but is inappropriate if there are security concerns. If you want to do something with higher security, use the contest infrastructure.

<div class="twitter-box">
    <h2>Tweets from Involver, Follow us<br />
    @<a href="http://www.twitter.com/involver">Involver</a></h2>

    {% twitter_feed %}
        {% paginate twitter_feed.tweets per_page:5 %}
            {% for story in tweets %}
              <div class="tweet">
                <h3>{{ story.title | twitter_link | auto_link }}</h3>
                <p>{{ story.published_relative_time }}</p>
              </div>
            {% endfor %}
        {% endpaginate %}
    {% endtwitter_feed %}
</div>

<div class="twitter-box">

   @<a href="http://www.twitter.com/involver">Involver</a></h2>

   {% twitter_feed %}
      {% paginate twitter_feed.tweets per_page:5 %}
         {% for story in tweets %}
            <div class="tweet">
               <h3>{{ story.title | twitter_link | auto_link }}</h3>
               <p>
                  {{ story.published_relative_time }} -
                  {% content_like story %}
               </p>
            </div>
         {% endfor %}
      {% endpaginate %}
   {% endtwitter_feed %}
</div>

Save and reload the tab and you'll now see the Like links:

After a user clicks "Like" and the page is reloaded, the view will change:

FAQ

Does this tag work with the Facebook Open Graph Like?
Currently, the SML 'content_like' tracks works on an Involver content item, which is not related to the Facebook Open Graph.

How do I use an anonymous function with the success_callback attribute?
You can use anonymous functions in the success_callback attribute. You must return your inline code as a function from a self-invoking anonymous function. For example:

{% content_like [item] success_callback:"(function(){ return function(resp){ console.log(resp) }})()" %}
