Facebook like box or button #134

@theJenix

Description

@theJenix

This ticket is a 2 parter..first, to decide if we prefer like boxes or buttons on our org page, and second, to build the infrastructure to let us add the Facebook tie-ins to our page.

For 1) I think I would prefer the like box, placed along the right side of the page (as seems to be standard on web pages), but the like button placed up near the org title would also be good.

  1. My recollection is a bit fuzzy but I think to add a Facebook like box or button to a page requires importing some javascript files, and adding some custom javascript directly to your page (that references your url, appId and some other stuff). For the clubs that use Facebook, we would need this done behind the scenes as we do not have the ability (I dont think) to import javascript from the edit orgs page.

Use case:
Org admin creates or edits an org page
Org admin specifies the Facebook url, appId, and other information retrieved from the Facebook developer page (where you would construct the code for a like box or button)
(Optional) Org admin would select their preference (like button or like box)
Attendance app would store this information, and include the necessary Facebook code only if Facebook information was filled in.

This could further be extended to include other social media such as Twitter, or could be built around one of those multi-service "share" boxes (the names of which escape me, but they're used all over the place).
