For me it shows "You and one other like this" and my face for albums only I liked, and "you and two others like this" and only my face for albums that at least one other liked. Still, I have meanwhile reworked much of the module to fit my requirements (included g+, added privacy functionality to load fb/g+ code only on demand) so I cannot truly speak about v7. Would appreciate to know the reason for that wrong counting though!

Sounds like my experience too. I've tried to understand this and I haven't found an answer. I found a few instances of people with much the same issue, but no answer either. The odd thing is that I'm sure that the behaviour used to be different, and a colleague who is using a different FB social module on his site has faces and people showing. I still think it's a FB issue.

Is there any scope for V8?

Well, I am not the original developer, I just branched it and did everything I needed to it. I am also not sure if some of the changes might be related to the theme I am using (pear). There is also one remaining issue in the privacy topic, my code still loads the library from facebook right away, which I want to prevent somehow.
You are welcome to have a look at how it works in my gallery. Feel free to like something ;-)

I don't have a lot to suggest. I assume you have entered all the required info in the admin page. You could try running it through the FB debugger and see what it says:
As I said in the other thread, I had these issues a little when I was implementing V7 and I didn't understand it either. If you PM me a URL I can try it in my test FB account, but not for a few days.

Folks
I would suggest you also get and install this module: http://codex.galleryproject.org/Gallery3:Modules:ogp_tags
Your going to need it to get the Facebook debugger to "green light" your gallery.
Facebook has made some serious changes and the proper OG tags are a must with them now.
Won't hurt to have SSL installed and use https on your gallery site either

The facebook like module (V7) inserts open graph tags which seem to satisfy the debugger. There is an issue about whether the thumb is big enough, but I don't think that's serious.

Has anyone got any pointers how to debug the use of this module? I have installed the latest v7 and also OGP_TAGS (although undagiga informs it is not necessary) however the posts still do not appear on FaceBook timeline.
I can install a SSL cert for the domain if needed however this will cost me $40 with the host and it is only for a courtesy project for a friends wedding photos so the reason I chose Gallery was through cost and convenience however I am finding this not so convenient now.

Am getting these errors when running debugger from FaceBook
Inferred Property The 'og:url' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.

Ian - these properties should be filled in by the module. That's certainly the case for my site. The title comes from the gallery3 title field. The others are more or less automatic. If you can PM me a url I will take a look. Would also be useful to see a screen grab of your admin settings for this module, although remember to blank out you site ID etc.

Hello! Please where can I download this facebook theme, thanks in advance
Ummm ... that post asking where to download is thinly disguised spam IMHO. Probably aimed at increasing the Google ranking. I'd suggest deletion, and then you can delete this post as well.

It's not a theme; it's a module that should work with whatever theme you're already using.
