Facebook Fan Box Cache

Are you tired of using FBML or an iframe to load in your Facebook Fan Box / Like Box? Me too. So I wrote this plugin that takes care of the issue.

2.0

CSS template feature added. Might be buggy - loads CSS in the footer ATM

1.5

Not quite 2.0, but does include the CSS guide for those who have been asking for it. Updated for WP 3.1.1

1.4.1

Bugfix: Fixing image links for WP installs outside of the root of the site domain. Thanks @peteratomic

1.4

Enhancement: Elimination of all external HTTP requests by caching ALL images as well as HTML output to the local server in the cache/ folder within the plugin. Increases page load time by .5 sec in our tests.

1.3.2

Not released to public, preparation for v2.0. Enhancement: Fan Image Caching!

1.3.1

Bugfix: Facebook updated the way the page is displayed, and people were experiencing a double up on the fans count text. i.e. "193 people like Electric Easel. people like Electric Easel." Enhancement: Added PHP version check on activation.

1.3

Enhancement: Added alt tag to facebook fan image.

1.2

Bugfix: Windows doesn't have a /tmp/ directory, and would throw an error every time the fanpage was requested. Moved temporary cache file to dirname(__FILE__).'/cache/fanbox.tmp.html'. Thanks @Altino Gomes

1.1

Bugfix: Regex for finding page url wasn't working on pages that didn't contain /pages/ in the url. Updated the regex and now it works fine. Thanks @Aaron Prill
