django-like-button makes it easy to use a facebook like button in your django application. You just need to do the following.

Installation

1. Install django-like-button using easy_setup or pip:

   pip install django-like-button

2. add like_button to your INSTALLED_APPS in your django settings file:

   INSTALLED_APPS = (
       # all
       # other
       # apps
       'like_button',
   )

3. Add “FACEBOOK_APP_ID” setting to your django settings file with your facebook application Id.

   in settings.py:

   FACEBOOK_APP_ID = "your appID"
   FACEBOOK_SHOW_SEND = "true"   # or "false, default is "true"
   FACEBOOK_LIKE_WIDTH = "450"   # "numeric value for width", default is 450
   FACEBOOK_SHOW_FACES = "true"  # or "false, default is "true"
   FACEBOOK_FONT = "font"        # default is "arial"

4. Add the template tag code into your base template before the body tag.

   Where you need the like button:

   {% load like_button %}

   At the bottom of the page before the </body> tag put this (you only need to do this once):

   {% like_button_js_tag %}
