Parser that inserts Twitter and Facebook "Like" buttons on a page.

Usage

Insert the TwitterFBLike parser tag into your wiki page. The tag takes three parameters:

1. Float: Floats the div that contains the icons. Valid values are "left" or "right", empty value means don't float.
2. Small mode: Uses the small version of the icons if set to "small". Uses the big versions otherwise
3. Like/Recommend If set to "like", uses the word "Like" instead of "Recommend" on the Facebook button.

Examples:

{{#TwitterFBLike:|small}}

{{#TwitterFBLike:|small|like}}

{{#TwitterFBLike:||}}

{{#TwitterFBLike:||like}}

You can also float the image left or right:

{{#TwitterFBLike:left|small}}
{{#TwitterFBLike:right|small}}

Installation

Download the package from the Github link in the sidebar (click the big "Downloads" button and get the latest zip file). Unzip the TwitterFBLike folder into /extensions/ inside your Mediawiki installation, (so that the path to TwitterFBLike.php is /extensions/TwitterFBLike/TwitterFBLike.php).

In your LocalSettings.php, add the following line to the bottom of the file:

require_once("$IP/extensions/TwitterFBLike/TwitterFBLike.php");

Customising the CSS

TwitterFBLike.css lets you customise the CSS for all buttons, and on a per-page basis. Note that the Twitter and Facebook buttons themselves can't be customised because they are in <iframe> tags.

To customise all pages, edit:

/* CSS for small version */
.twitterFBLike_small {
   ...
}

/* CSS for big version */
.twitterFBLike_small {
   ...
}

To customise a single page, add an entry with the URL page title appended to the class:

.twitterFBLike_Main_Page {
   ...
}
