# Facebook “like” buttons

 * Howdy. I was trying to slap some facebook “like” buttons onto my single.php pages
   using these instructions:
 * [http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/04/adding-facebook-like-buttons-to-your-site-is-damn-easy/](http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/04/adding-facebook-like-buttons-to-your-site-is-damn-easy/)
 * I slapped this code into the template:
 * ‘<iframe src=”<?php the_permalink(); ?>” scrolling=”no” frameborder=”0″ allowTransparency
   =”true” style=”border:none; overflow:hidden; width:450px; height:px”>’
 * I reckon there’s something wrong with putting that PHP in there because all hell
   breaks lose with the template when i look at the pages. What’s the right way 
   to get “the permalink” to show there? Is there a better way to put these “like”
   buttons on my pages? I would like to avoid more plugins or javascript – I’ve 
   just got too darn much junk on the site.

 * Or use this: [http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-like-box](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook-like-box)
 *     ```
       Use:
       <?php facebook_like_box('PROFILE_ID', 'STREAM', 'CONNECTIONS', 'WIDTH', 'HEIGHT', 'HEADER', 'LOCALE'); ?>
   
       Example use:
       <?php facebook_like_box('1641919198198198', 0, 20, 500, 300, 0, 'en_EN'); ?>
       ```
