Installing

Requirements

• Joomla! 1.5, 1.7 or 2.5 - http://www.joomla.org/
• Zoo Component v2.4.18 or v2.5.x - http://www.yootheme.com/zoo/
• FBML and Open Graph Namespace - Download Plugin
• Facebook Application ID - Create a Facebook Application here
• Facebook User ID (number) - Used to define you as administrator

Installation

• Download zip file: zoo-element_kzfbelementspro.zip
• Install using Joomla's standard installation procedure
• Add new Facebook elements to your Zoo template

Template Installation Suggestions

• It is Highly Recommended to place the FB Script Pro element at the absolute bottom of your entire template because of the slight delay that is required to load the Facebook JavaScript SDK.
• Create a New Template Position at the bottom of your current Zoo template for FB Comments Pro and FB Script Pro.
• It is not necessary, but will help with formatting your template (CSS), to create additional new template positions for each occurrence of the FB Like Pro element.

Additional Suggestions

• After setting up your FB Script Pro element, verify and test your Open Graph Meta Tags by using the Facebook URL Linter.
• After all elements are working, remember to Click on the Like button yourself. Each listed user must click Like on the URL to be approved as an admin.
• Open Graph Meta Tags are required for Facebook Comments and the Like button.
• If you have a different plugin that installs the Facebook JavaScript SDK for your site, do not activate the XFBML JavaScript SDK. This script is only required once per page.
• When activating the Open Graph Meta Tags, remember that 6 meta tags are required, 2 of which you must supply in the Settings for the Meta Tags to Display: fb:admins and fb:app_id. Failure to Set any of these Meta tags will result in No Meta tags displaying in the head of your document.
