Show Thread Enhancements - Add Facebook comments to threads

This modification will integrate Facebook comments directly into the posts, at the bottom of the page.

What is needed for this modification:

• A standard facebook account.
  
• A facebook application, anyone can set one up and it's simple http://www.facebook.com/developers/createapp.php Be sure to add your site URL to the "Connect URL" and take note of your API Key.

Once that is done it's time to add the code to the SHOWTHREAD template.

Find:

{vb:raw similarthreads}

Add this above:

	<!-- FB Comments -->
	<h4 class="threadinfohead"><span class="optiontitle">Facebook Comments</span></h4>
	<div id="thread_tags_list" class="thread_info_block">
		<div class="inner_block">
			<div id='tag_list_cell'>
<script src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/connect.php/en_US" type="text/javascript"></script><script type="text/javascript">FB.init("YOUR API KEY");</script><fb:comments> </fb:comments>
			</div>
		</div>
	</div>
	<!-- /FB Comments -->

Be sure to add your API key.

I cannot find any reference to existing hooks in Facebook Options.. please advise.


ooooops! I found VB provided hooks, although there are MANY more advantageous places to place this code in templates.

I have added it as a new tab in the profile page and have also added it below the comments section of the vbcms articles as well. Once you've setup the application you can pretty much use that code anywhere on your site.

please show where to place this in various tempates... peace
