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.

Agreed this would be awesome.!!
Keep your vB active instead of FB. lol


Also ability to add comments to other pages. (groups, etc)

I want to install this. I have a few questions right now.... Do I have to use my personal fb account? I would rather not.

Also do I simply create a app on facebook?

The facebook side is confusing me...

[stoute]

seems to have broken (4.2.0 -p2) uninstalled

[Dr_Mo7ammad]

it says to me
Warning: this comments plugin is operating in compatibility mode, but has no posts yet. Consider specifying an explicit 'href' as suggested in the comments plugin documentation to take advantage of all plugin features.
then disappear and says
The comments plugin requires an href parameter.

[fahris]

All the comments made, subject to review under the leaves. It looks in all matters.

Secondly, the profile is the link to the site rather than link to the subject.

How do I fix it?

I have not looked at this mod or the code, but the mod is pretty old compared to the facebook API. What is working, what is not? What were you doing when the error occured.
