Adding a facebook "like" button to Joomla:
1) Go to the Facebook developer page here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/refe...gins/like/ 2) Enter the page number (found in your Facebook page URL) of your Facebook page. - If you don't have one, go to Facebook Create Page wizard and create a Brand >> Website page for your site. 3) Enter the height (typically 400 pixels) that you want for the Like widget 4) Click the Get Code button to generate the Facebook Code. 5) Open the Joomla Administrator on your site 6) Navigate to the Module Manager 7) Click the New button 8) Select Custom HTML 9) Paste the code into the HTML box (make sure the editor is turned off). 10) Give the module a name 11) Click the Hide Title radio button 12) Select the Module Position where you want the widget to appear 13) Click Save (source: http://www.joomlajumpstart.com/general-j...omla-site) I find it best to choose the FOOTER position for the module so that the Like button works on all site pages. As far as using Facebook for the SSO (single sign on) rather than Joomla, and adding in-site FB commenting, you'll want a more robust Joomla extension for that. I like JFBConnect (http://www.sourcecoast.com/?amigosid=131) for FB/Joomla user-mapping & SSO, because it's so slick, plus you can add to your joomla site every other FB trick, from FB comments, to "like buttons" and "like boxes", to FB user message notifications.
