Multiple Facebook Like Buttons on one page

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone knew how to incorporate multiple facebook 'Like' buttons on one page? As currently it only allows you to like the page which you are on, which isn't ideal for multiple elements that need liking?

Can anyone please help?

Thanks,

Joe

You're going to struggle I believe. I'm guessing you want a like button on an archive page or something? Thing is, think about how the computer "likes" something. On an archive page, there's still only one url for the "like" to like.

You can do this with addthis here is the help article that covers it.

Looking on Facebook's developer site there seem to be url options for "Like" buttons so I would imagine you use their own code as well.

With either option you should be able to repeat the button, setting a different url for each occurrence.
