Magento. How to manage “Facebook like box” extension<\/a><\/p>\r\n

In case the template comes with Facebook like box pre-installed, enable it in the following way:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n
  1. \r\n

    Navigate to Magento admin panel<\/strong> and open the System -> Configuration -> Templatemonster -> Facebook<\/strong> tab. Enable box in the Enable\/Disable field.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  2. \r\n

    Insert the ID of your Facebook Application into the App ID<\/strong> field. Next, you can manage the following options:<\/p>\r\n

    The Color Scheme<\/strong> field allows enabling light or dark plugin settings.<\/p>\r\n

    The Show Faces<\/strong> field allows displaying the Facebook users profiles photos in the Box.<\/p>\r\n

    The Show Header<\/strong> field enables Facebook header<\/strong> in the Box.<\/p>\r\n

    The Show Border<\/strong> field enables border around the Box.<\/p>\r\n

    The Show Posts<\/strong> field adds posts to the Facebook Like Box.<\/p>\r\n

    In the Height and Width<\/strong> fields you can enable box dimensions.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  3. \r\n

    When all the parameters are set, click the Save Config<\/strong> button to enable box on the site:<\/p>\r\n

    \"Magento.<\/a>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  4. \r\n

    By default the Facebook like box<\/strong> is enabled in one of the following areas: left sidebar, right sidebar, footer<\/strong>. To switch the extension position, connect to server via FTP<\/a> or open cPanel file manager<\/a><\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n

  5. \r\n

    Open the tm_facebook.xml<\/strong> file located in the app\/design\/frontend\/default\/themeXXX\/layout<\/strong> folder on server. You will see the code similar to the one below:<\/p>\r\n

    \r\n<!-- <reference name="left">\r\n<block type="core\/template" name="tm_facebook_like_right" as="tm_facebook_like_right" template="tm\/facebook\/facebook_like.phtml"\/>\r\n<\/reference>\r\n<reference name="left">\r\n<block type="core\/template" name="tm_facebook_like_right" as="tm_facebook_like_right" template="tm\/facebook\/facebook_like.phtml"\/>\r\n<\/reference> -->\r\n<reference name="footer">\r\n<block type="core\/template" name="tm_facebook_like_footer" as="tm_facebook_like_footer" template="tm\/facebook\/facebook_like_footer.phtml"\/>\r\n<\/reference><\/pre>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  6. \r\n
    In the code above, block is enabled in Footer<\/strong> and disabled in Left Sidebar<\/strong>. In order to enable it, uncomment the left sidebar code and save changes in the file.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  7. \r\n
    In case block is missing in sidebar after editing the code, you will need to add it into the 2columns-left.phtml<\/strong> or 2columns-right.phtml<\/strong> appropriately. In case you’re adding Facebook Like Box<\/strong> to left sidebar, add the following line into the 2columns-left.phtml<\/strong> file:<\/p>\r\n
    \r\n<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('tm_facebook_like_left') ?><\/pre>\r\n
    Use the following code for right sidebar:<\/p>\r\n
    \r\n<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('tm_facebook_like_right') ?><\/pre>\r\n
    \"Magento.<\/a>\r\n<\/li>\r\n
  8. \r\n
    With that done, save changes in file, refresh Magento front-end and check the site.<\/p>\r\n<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
    \r\n\r\n\r\n<\/a>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
