Facebook-Comments to CMS-Articles

[Kraxell]

Hello my vB-friends!

I have a little modification for your vB-CMS!

With this little template-edit you can show facebook-comments under your CMS-articles.

Sorry for my bad english, i doe my best! (iam german)

What is needed for this modification:

- standard facebook account.
- facebook application, anyone can set one up and it's simple http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php

Now the template-edits:

Search template:
vbcms_content_article_page

and find

{vb:raw comment_block}

Add below this code:


<!-- FB Comments -->
<h2 class="blockhead" style="padding-top:5px;"><span class="optiontitle">Facebook comments</span></h2>
<div id="thread_tags_list" class="thread_info_block blockbody formcontrols floatcontainer">
<div class="blockrow floatcontainer">
<div id='tag_list_cell'>
<div id="fb-root"></div><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#appId=YOURAPPID&amp;xfbml=1"></script><fb:comments href="http://www.YOURSITE.com/{vb:raw relpath}" expr:xid="YOUR-APP-ID" simple="1" num_posts="10" width="500" publish_feed="true"></fb:comments><br/>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<img src="clear.gif" height="10" /><br />
<!-- /FB Comments -->

Be sure you have change YOUR_APP_ID to your app-id!

Now it looks like the screenshot.

If you use it, please push install, rate and nominate

Hope you like it :)


Big thank to Gemma & Noli for help!

Great.Installed

[xeon1]

installed this.
I have a question: How can I change this to use a comment thread for each article on the CMS?
I don't want all the comments in each article page. I'd prefer people to comment on the specific article.
I tried using {vb: raw href} but the plugin goes compatibility mode..

Help?

Try to use this modification:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=239023

and set the code from the other modification below the code in my manual.

[gariksher]

Thanks!
Installed

Can I use this modification in blogs ? and how ?

[Kraxell]

Of curse. You must edit only the blog-template.

[nerowolfe]

Perfect! Ty

[xeon1]

no go.
it says "the comment plugin requires a href parameter" even though I did not remove your code bit. I only pasted the other code bit under it.

~Xeon1

[Kraxell]

I'll check it tomorow.

[Kraxell]

I have a methode to show the comments only for the exactly articles but i have a more elegant method but i must test it today and give then feedback (this evening).

[Kraxell]

Update available. Thanks to Gemma!

[dang3rzon3]

installed. thanks

[dang3rzon3]

I see this message on alla pages:

"Attenzione: questo plugin per i commenti sta funzionando in modalità di compatibilità, ma non contiene ancora dei post. Prova a specificare un "href" esplicito, come suggerito nella documentazione sul plugin dei commenti, per sfruttare tutte le funzionalità del plugin."

How to set a dinamyc href, working with vbseo ?

[GameOverViper]

Just installed this. Thanks!

[xeon1]

I don't understand why but I still get the compatibility mode.
I did replace the app ID and I did add this code in the right place.

Can you help me?
my vbulletin uses friendly re-write mode now but it didn't work before either...

EDIT: it seems it works fine but I'm still curious about the compatibility mode. it disappears after the 1st comment is written..

[Kraxell]

Hey,

try this and give feedback pls, because i cant test it yet.

Find
<fb:comments expr:xid="YOUR_APP_ID" simple="1" num_posts="10" width="500" publish_feed="true">

replace with

<fb:comments href="http://yoursite.com" expr:xid="YOUR_APP_ID" simple="1" num_posts="10" width="500" publish_feed="true">

Please change yoursite.com and YOUR_APP_ID.

[dormopoco]

Do you know how to disable suggest this change when the comments are disable?

something I guess.

<vb:if condition="$comment_block == disable">

[BF777]

Do the comments show up as Facebook status updates?

In other words, if I comment on an article, will it show up on my Friend's Newsfeed?

[BF777]

I also keep getting some debugger error.

Does this mod support redirects? I just changed my domain name a few days ago so I have a redirect from the old domain name to the new one.

[Noli]

Here is the code to get rid of the compatiblity mode error. This code also sets one comment box per cms article, so you dont have all the comments mixed in alle the articles.

<!-- FB Comments -->
<h2 class="blockhead" style="padding-top:5px;"><span class="optiontitle">Facebook Kommentare</span></h2>
<div id="thread_tags_list" class="thread_info_block blockbody formcontrols floatcontainer">
<div class="blockrow floatcontainer">
<div id='tag_list_cell'>
<div id="fb-root"></div><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#appId=YOURAPPID&amp;xfbml=1"></script><fb:comments href="http://www.YOURSITE.com/{vb:raw relpath}" expr:xid="YOUR-APP-ID" simple="1" num_posts="10" width="500" publish_feed="true"></fb:comments><br/>
</div>

<!-- /FB Comments -->


just change all the stuff, just a little sidenote, the link in href isnt vbseo compatbile. i dont think that should be a big problem.

[xeon1]

Noli, Thank you! You're a life saver :)

~Xeon1

[Kraxell]

I'll take a look at nolis code and modifiy my :)

[Kraxell]

Code is fixed. Thank to Noli for his help!

[Noli]

btw. this should also work if you use the code under {vb:raw similarthreads} in SHOWTHREAD.

[BF777]

Works great in version. 4.1.1.1. Excellent job.

[Naijasite]

Its working perfectly check it out on this forum (http://www.naijafinder.com/content/) click on any of the article and scroll below and you will see the Facebook comment working http://www.naijafinder.com/content/

[Kraxell]

Thanks for feedback :)

[baerwurz]

It would be cool, if a fb comment will improve the comments count on the Homepage.

Is this possible?

[Luiz Biazus]

is that possible use FANPAGE instead APP?

[horseguards]

hello,

I have installed this mod (vBulletin 4.2.3) and it seems to be that works, but I get the old comment form also there.

Pls check the image http://www.awesomescreenshot.com/image/587838/d35cae56642b3865da597245b580ebcf

What's wrong?

thanks!

[horseguards]

found the solution! I had to disable vBulletin comments.

[friendlymela]

sounds good
