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.

Unfortunately we are at the mercy of this FB app. It hasn't worked for me for a few days now, probably something that's being worked out. It really doesn't affect things much though, it simply doesn't show so for me it's not a big deal to wait it out. I do understand the frustration though.

crap, installed in 3.8.5 and all it shows is...

{vb:rawphrase view_tag_cloud}

obviously cause 3.8.5 doesnt use the new 4.0 phrases... any chance you can give me the changes for 3.8.5?

That's just a reference for placement, I don't have any references for 3.8.x anymore but you can put it anywhere near the bottom, maybe look for a reference to "currently viewing" or "actively viewing" etc. Right around there you can add the javascript and play with placement.

I added the javascript and this is all that shows up...

{vb:rawphrase view_tag_cloud}
