Re: native facebook intergration

I would do that except that the steps to configure it would be more complicated than the steps to just copy the html from Facebook into an Html content instance.

http://www.mojoportal.com/adding-a-facebook-profile-widget-to-your-site.aspx

Therefore if we built a widget it will be less user friendly than just adding it the normal way because then the instructions would require copying fragments from the Facebook generated html into settings and this would be more steps involved.

With Twitter the internal feature is easier than the manual way to do it so it was worth doing.

Best,

Joe

Re: native facebook intergration

Hi Joe, are you talking about the widget alone, or is there a possibility of adding facebook connect for authentication? It would also be awesome to add the facebook comments to the blog module. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments in which case I think that you would just have to pass in the url of the blog entry, and I would think an API key, though I don't see the field for it...

Re: native facebook intergration

I am trying to add Facebook comments to a page.

Facebook gives you the html that they say to add into your body tag

<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>

And then this code wherever you want the comments to go:

Can you add the FB code to the Master.Layout? If not can you reference it in a separate js file? What is the best way to implement this?

Thanks

Re: native facebook intergration

Hi,

Currently we have support for Disqus and IntenseDebate external comment systems. I've had a to do item in our project tracker for quite a while to add support for Facebook comments but have not got to it yet. I don't think it will be difficult for me to implement so I've moved into the priority list and hopefully will get to it for the next release.

Best,

Joe
