The Like Gate Module

    The Like Gate module helps your fan-gated content work smoothly in the new Facebook Timeline page layout for brands. The module adds a Like button to Views that users will click to see fan-gated Views.

    Adding Like Gate Modules to a Content & Apps Views

    All modules are added to a View in the same way with our drag-and-drop interface. To get more information on this, see the Building a View: Adding Modules and Content to Views in Content & Apps help article.

    Note: This module should be added to the non-fan-gated View that leads users to the fan-gated View.

    Once you have added a module and given it a name, the module will open for you to edit it or add content. Back on the View layout, you'll see a callout bubble next to your module - click the triangle for controls for your module. This callout will not appear on your published View and your new module will not appear on your Facebook Tab until you click Publish.

    Connecting the Like Gate Module to the Fan-Gated View

    Note: When you drag-and-drop a Like Gate module onto a View, it will automatically open to the edit page for that module. Click Edit module from the Controls callout bubble to edit a module you've previously created.

    1. When the module opens the Edit page, you'll see a text field for View URL. Enter the URL of the View you want only Fans of your Page to be able to see.

      Note: You can find the View URL by going to the View on Facebook and copying it. The View must be published before you can get the View URL.

    2. Click Update.

    The Like button will now appear on your View. When a non-Fan clicks the Like button, the View will refresh and display the fan-gated View.
