The Facebook Like Plugin

Plugin Name: Facebook Like

Availability: Zap Calendar Standard Zap Calendar Pro

Purpose: Use the facebook like plugin to place a Facebook "Like" or "Recommend" button on each event in your calendar.

Configuration:

Facebook Admins: A comma-separated list the Facebook IDs of page administrators
Facebook Application ID: a Facebook Platform application ID. At a minimum, enter your Facebook ID under Facebook Admins.
Language: Specify the language of the button. This is controlled by Facebook, not Joomla's language settings. The default value is "en_US". For information on other languages, visit http://developers.facebook.com/docs/internationalization/

The following settings are available in the calendar view's plugin settings:

Facebook Like Plugin: You can enable or disable this plugin for each view
Layout Style: Choose from standard, button count or box count
Show Faces: Choose whether to show Facebook profile images with like button

To display like buttons for Facebook, Google + and Twitter, consider using the Social Like plugin , which provides buttons for other social sites but offers less customization.

For more information on using the "Like" button, including how to receive analytical information, read the information from Facebook at this URL:
