Question

Now the problem is, the jav

Answer 1

<div class="fb-like" data-href="page_link" data-layout="button_count" data-onshare="page_like_or_unlike_callback" data-onlike="page_like_or_unlike_callback" data-action="like" data-size="large" data-show-faces="true" data-share="false"></div>

Just add data-onlike="function_name" and define the function in your javascript. Your done, your function will be called as soon as the person hits like on your website. For share button it's still in development mode, I'll update you soon on that..

full code is here

$("#bodyarea").on('click', '.share_fb', function(event) {
    event.preventDefault();
    var that = $(this);
    var post = that.parents('article.post-area');

    $.ajaxSetup({ cache: true });
        $.getScript('//connect.facebook.net/en_US/sdk.js', function(){
        FB.init({
          appId: '822306031169238', //replace with your app ID
          version: 'v2.3'
        });
        FB.ui({
            method: 'share',
            title: 'TTitle Test',
            description: 'Test Description Goes here. Tahir Sada ',
            href: 'https://developers.facebook.com/docs/',
          },
          function(response) {
            if (response && !response.error_code) {
              alert('Posting completed.');
            } else {
              alert('Error while posting.');
            }
        });
  });
});

Change your application id to work

Working Example

Answer 3

An alternative way I made here to who don't want to publish an APP just for it is:

   jQuery("#div_share").click(function() {

        var url = "http://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=YOUR_URL&title=YOUR_TITLE";

        var openDialog = function(uri, name, options, closeCallback) {
            var win = window.open(uri, name, options);
            var interval = window.setInterval(function() {
                try {
                    if (win == null || win.closed) {
                        window.clearInterval(interval);
                        closeCallback(win);
                    }
                }
                catch (e) {
                }
            }, 1000);
            return win;
        };

        openDialog(url,'Facebook','width=640,height=580', function(){
            jQuery("#div_share").hide();
            jQuery("#formulario").show();
        });
    });

It will open a javascript dialog to share, and know when the user close it. It's not guaranteed that they really share the content... but.. :)

Answer 4

You cannot get the share callback using this like button. You can instead create a share button of yours and invoke the Feed Dialog on its click-

FB.ui(
{
  method: 'feed',
  name: 'Facebook Dialogs',
  link: 'https://developers.facebook.com/docs/dialogs/',
  picture: 'http://fbrell.com/f8.jpg',
  caption: 'Reference Documentation',
  description: 'Dialogs provide a simple, consistent interface for applications to interface with users.'
},
function(response) {
  if (response && response.post_id) {
    alert('Post was published.');
  } else {
    alert('Post was not published.');
  }
}
);
