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.

Thanks, please click install if you use it.

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.

Great mod installed and 5 stars!

One question though, is there a way to shrink the width of the comment area? There seems to be a lot of empty space.

Thanks again.

I don't see a way right off but have a look here for the documentation on the script http://wiki.developers.facebook.com/...p/Comments_Box it doesn't look like there are a whole lot of options that way unfortunately.

I dug this up, it's pretty easy.

Open album_pictureview template and find:

{vb:raw footer}

Add this above:

<script src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php" type="text/javascript"></script>
<fb:comments></fb:comments>
<script type="text/javascript"> FB.init("YOUR_API_KEY_HERE", "<path from web root>/xd_receiver.htm"); </script>

Remember the api key and path need to be added as well.
