Killer Tip: Add FACEBOOK plug-in comment box to every forum page.

[Bernard Lama]

Edited: If you use the old code then only members can see the facebook plug-in comment box and they can comment. Please use the new code, both members and non-members can see the facebook plug-in comment box and both members and non-members can comment using facebook account. 

Hey NCs,

Hope you will be very happy after  successfully using my killer tip.

Instruction is very simple: Just copy and paste the  following code into Custom Code. You may want to change data-width follow jay's instruction here.

The Old Code

<script type="text/javascript">
x$(document).ready(function(){
x$("div.texteditor").after('<div id="fb-root"></div><div class="fb-comments"></div>');
});
</script>

The New Code

<script type="text/javascript">
x$(document).ready(function(){
x$("div#discussionReplies").before('<div id="fb-root"></div><div class="fb-comments"></div>');
});
</script>

The comment box works fine on my network, and for those of you wondering if you can moderate comments, the answer is yes you can!

[Bernard Lama]

patrick, Many, many thanks for all your help.

[Patrick Chappelle]

You're welcome Bernard.

Hi Patrick, I don't have these options showing on my Facebook comments.  I think it may have to do with required meta code, but I have yet to find the problem.  Any chance of getting a copy of your custom code?  Thanks!

Here is the code for photo.

<script type="text/javascript">
x$(document).ready(function(){
if (x$(".xg_widget_photo_photo_show").length > 0)
x$("p#add-comment").after('<div id="fb-root"></div><div class="fb-comments" data-width="733"></div>');
});
</script>

i had to remove it even though it never worked at all it seemed to cause trouble i heard peole couldnt join my site my joins were very very low for the day and 1 who did join yesterday his profile page disapeared  his accoundr=t seems active but he canrt sign in and his page is gone

ive heard dozens have had crahes and issues related to simular code

[conner]

No luck here with the code on my network... I get this...a transparent red box with a bar scanning like something is loading and it says......

The comments plugin requires an href parameter.

any ideas what I'm doing wrong or what this means?  Thanks, hope someone has some help.

[Jay Ferrari]

the first code is the only code that I was able to get to work and it crashes all log in and sign ups attempts on my site. I won't be using this tip and I don't recommend that anyone else use this tip until it is corrected and troubleshooted. 

Bernard thanks for you tip I hate that it doesn't work properly.

i know someone just post ed that this crashed browsers  and prevented logins and joins well i think it also deleted a members page too its caused alot of trouble and i b-never even got it to work

[Bernard Lama]

Fortunately, it works fine for me and some fellow creators. Also it doesn't crash any browsers as of now.  Probably you are using other javascript code which is conflicting with this code.
