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.

It will appear on your wall as a generic comment from what I can tell, not sure if it links to the post or not.

I can confirm it works fine with IE, not sure why that's happening. I know that sometimes it seems slow to load from Facebook's end though.

Can you make a vB 3.8.5 version? (Still waiting for a facebook like style before I upgrade to 4.0)

Thanks!!!!!

Also, do you need to have Facebook Connect installed for this to work?

I don't have a 3.8 version but this will still work, it's just a matter of finding a place for it at the bottom of your showthread template for the javascript. You do not have to have facebook connect to use this.

I followed the steps, but does not work. Can you explain better please.

Just to make sure, you created your facebook application, uploaded the xd_receiver.htm to your forum root and added your unique API key to the javascript?

[Phil K?vin]

Yes man, i did that. I created the Facebook application and uploaded xd_receiver.htm, i change de API KEY, but does not work. Perhaps it is because you do not edit all fields of application.

xd_receiver.htm file what contains that file, edit it? or just create it?
