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 don't think it's hard to add Facebook Comment to vB3, here is the link of the code that you could add manually to SHOWTHREAD template. https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments/

It is the same thing with connecting the site to FB. It connects to my fb aqccount so when I try to share it shares to my main account and not my fan page. I really have to look more into this to see if I did something wrong with the app creation.

I dont think it ever worked to a fan page or group, etc, only to a personal profile.. Dumb idea right. lol
Who wants an entire forum posted to their profile, or even worse your personal profile posts to a forum.!? :erm: :down:
