Involver Developer Network : facebook_like
This page last changed on Mar 27, 2012 by jed.wheeler@involver.com.
Overview
Allows you to add a facebook like button to your content items. This ties in with Facebook's OpenGraph infrastructure and accepts all of the parameters as the social plugin.
General Considerations
This feature cannot be used as a voting metric as doing so is a violation of Facebook's TOS and will get your page deleted. For this reason "Likes" are not counted towards popularity sorting for the Contest feature or in sorting partials.
Caching Considerations
There are no caching considerations.
