[Pro] Facebook Like Box

I’m building a website with Freeway Pro and using CSS. I’m trying to insert my band’s Facebook fan page following these steps:

  1. In Facebook I enter my page URL and select GetCode. Facebook Like Box - Social Plugins - Documentation - Meta for Developers
  2. I select the “iframe” and copy the code.
  3. In Freeway I select Insert>Markup item . . .
  4. I paste the code in the box and expanded it to the correct size.
  5. When I preview the page nothing shows.
  6. When I preview in a browser I get this error “No webpage was found for the web address: file://www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?href=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FTIJazzBand&width=292&colorscheme=light&show_faces=false&border_color&stream=true&header=true&height=427
    Error 6 (net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND): The file or directory could not be found.”

Any suggestions? I’m new to Freeway.

I may be misreading this from your Header but if you just want a Facebook Like Box then there is an action for that.

Insert>Action Item> Facebook Like Box

Which places a container on your page, fill in the parameters in the Action palette, resize the container to suit and position it on your page.

Well, that worked perfectly. Still not sure why the Insert>Markup . . method didn’t work, but it’s working with Action item.

Thanks.

No webpage was found for the web address: file://www.facebook.com/plugins/likebox.php?

Because that is not a web address - note the reference to ‘file’. If you had changed that to http it might have done the trick but not being familiar with the FB code I cannot be certain.

That is why the good guys at SP write actions - so that we don’t have to worry about the code if we don’t want to.

I don’t have this option and I’m using Freeway Pro 5.5. How do I add the like box? In the manual it reads…

Go to File>Document Setup, click on the Output
tab and enter the full URL (for example,
http://www.softpress.com) in the Web Address field.
• Click OK to close the Document Setup dialog.

if you change this you change the site info and you are no longer able to upload pages to your site.

The Web Address does not actually determine where your files are uploaded to - that is taken care of by the Server and Directory fields. But it may well be that the info in the Server and Web Address fields are the same.

So in one of mine the server info is

www.deltadesign.co

and the Web Address is

http://www.deltadesign.co

without the angle brackets if you are looking at FWT online.

The FBLike Box works wonderfully, but for some reason my page is showing two more (larger) boxes on the background outside of the page. Help please.
