I am currently struggling to place the pluggins provided by the fb_social module in my content styled by ds. Especially the placement of the fb_like button is hairy. fb_like provides two options were to place the button. When I set the button to be displayed with the node body ds ignores the button. Putting the button into the links section is working but a finer control would be nice.

If ds could pick these buttons up this would be awesome.

Mmh,

just noticed that I can easily create a block field for this button. That does the trick but maybe there are some arguments left for supporting fb_social pluggins right away?

Edit: Ok, here comes a reason. ;)

I can easily use the fb_like button as a block field and place it. However on the fb_like settings I have to set the button to display in the node content so that ds does not pick it up. When set to display in the link section I get this button twice (obviously). So the most desirable state would be if ds could support these pluggins directly.

I need some fresh air. Simply specifying that the plugin should not be used on the content type in question solves this.

If anyone is up for writing a fb_social plugin for nd contrib, I'm more than happy to commit - for now, if block fields work, that's fine too ;)

Hi, sorry if this is the wrong place to post. but thought the control of the fb like button display is an important development to consider.

Placing the fb_social like button in my right sidebar has thrown my layout out in that it doesn't stretch 100% across the browser window anymore (a scrollbar is now on the horizontal side). This is annoying as I spent ages trying to figure out why my layout was suddenly cut off like that ( I have 100% width divs with a fixed width center div mainly to contain background images). I had a look at the css generated by the like widget and there are 3 elements with a width of 350px and its not easy to restyle these at all. Could this be more simply done to accomodate sidebar widths etc.

I will have to move my like button elsewhere on the site but really wanted it in my right sidebar... hope this is something to consider

thanks :-)

I still get the fb_social button twice on the content types I specify. Even if I ask the button to be present in the content area, where it will show at the top of the content - which is where I want it, for now - it will show up again in the "email this link"/"send to friend" section at the bottom, which is where I DON'T want it.

See http://www.lakeshorespeech.com/drupal/content/dramatic-play-group for an example.

I think I got it fixed. I had it enabled as a block, AND it also showed up in content types that I had designated. So that's why it showed up twice. I disabled the block at the bottom. I like the way it is now.
