Facebook Like WordPress Plugin by Plulz

Keeping up with our plugins release we’re now launching the new Facebook Like a Lot Plugin for WordPress.

I know there are plenty of Like Plugins around, but none of then are really flexible and complete. One of the main qualitys of this one is that, besides being able to add the plugin in every page of your blog you will also be able to use the Like a Lot shortcode, allowing you to set any parameter you want to it and embending in any blog post type (pages, blogs, links, etc). Example:

[like_a_lot width="300" scheme="dark" send="true" faces="true"][/like_a_lot]

Would generate a Like box with 300px width, dark scheme from the Facebook default layouts, would allow to send the page link and also will show the users pictures.

To make things even easier the plugin will add a button to the tinyMCE editor, so you don’t have to remember all that code when adding a new like box.

For now I’m waiting the plugin to be added to the WordPress SVN, it will take around 3 days before it will be available for download.

Soon: Plulz Exclusive Themes

One of the reasons we haven’t released any Theme for WordPress is that we’re looking into ways that would make really good ones with a really good code.

By good code we mean code that have very good performance, easy to maintain and extensible, something we already do with the plugins. So far we have released the SEO Facebook Comment but plan to release many more, mostly focused on Facebook integration (at least for now).

The hardest part was that really good code on WordPress, as many programmers already know, can be a real headache. It is a great platform, with a huge community and with the best admin interface I have ever come across, but when comes to code it can be a real pain.

We plan to release a free e-commerce theme, hope to get it done in the next two weeks. Stay tuned ;)

How to get my Facebook User ID

It’s weird how you need your facebook user id for severall things, such as to give moderator power to some user (or yourself) in order to be able to, for example, moderate the SEO Facebook Comments. I mean it’s weird because despite being something that you need for many things there is no easier or direct way to get your User ID.

In order to get your user id you can go to this topic and post any comment after that hover your mouse over your username, click with the right button of the mouse on it, now click in “Copy Link Address” than paste anywhere (notepad for example, it will be a link like this https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=624300364 ) everything after the id= is your Facebook User ID

Now just inser it in the field “Admin ID” of the SEO Facebook Comments plugin and everything should work just fine.

How To Add States do the WooCommerce plugin?

I started creating a very small and fast eCommerce on WordPress, so i decided to give the WooCommerce Plugin a go.

Must say, the interface is pretty neat but lacks some extra support, like adding new states that I’m about to show you how to do. Btw, this is something really easy to acomplish, all you need is follow the bellow steps and everything should work just fine

1. Open the file countries.class.php in the classes folder inside woocommerce plugin folder.

2. Look for the code of your country, you can find that in the var $countries = array, for instance, the code for Brazil is BR

3. Look for the Line var $states = array(… (this will be right bellow the var $countries array)

4. Inside the above array, go to the last line of that array (will probabiliy be the USAF array), and now all you have to do is create a new one right bellow that, if I were to add the brazilian states I would do the following:

[crayon attributes lang="php"]
‘USAF’ => array(

‘AA’ => ‘Americas’ ,

‘AE’ => ‘Europe’ ,

‘AP’ => ‘Pacific’

), // NEVER FORGET THE COMMA

‘BR’ => array(

‘AM’ => ‘Amazonas’,

‘SP’ => ‘Sao Paulo’,

)
[/crayon]
Just a heads up, the plugin is bugging for states with UTF-8 caracters, so you have to add Sao Paulo instead of São Paulo or any other state name with é, è, â… you got the idea.

Save the file, upload and profit :)

How to create a Facebook APP

I have been asked a lot this question lately, mostly because of my really successfull plugin SEO Facebook Comments.

To make the plugin work you need to correctly create a Facebook App and configure all of the needed information in the plugin that you get from the Facebook App.

So here´s how to do it, it´s really easy and straightfoward, especially since the last Facebook Developers redesign:

First, go to the page http://www.facebook.com/developers

It will ask you to login (if you´re not already). Once looged in you´re going to be taken to the following page.

BERJAYA

As you can see, In the right top corner of your page you´re going to see a button called + Create New App, just click on it

BERJAYA

Insert a nice name for your APP and you can leave the APP NAMESPACE field blank, just agree and then click in CONTINUE. Correctly type the Captcha text ( a challenge sometimes, I know) and just click Continue.

BERJAYA

We´re almost done! As you can see in the above picture we already have an App ID and App Secret for our app, now there is just one last thing to do. Click in Website and type the full URL for your domain, taking this blog as an example I would type http://www.plulz.com in the mentioned box.

Now that everything is set just SAVE IT, now go back to your SEO Facebook Comment Admin Page and insert the App ID, App Secret and your facebook e-mail and everything will work just fine ;)
