Miscellaneous Hacks - Facebook-Comments to CMS-Articles

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

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.

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."

Just installed this. Thanks!

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..

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.
