Facebook comment box on product pages

[Endre]

Hi all.
I tried searching for a way to add Facebook comment box to the product pages, but I couldn't find anyone that had come up with a way to do this.
After a quick look, I came up with this, which seems to work:

<!--bof Facebook comments-->
<div id="fb-root"></div><script src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#appId=APP_ID&amp;xfbml=1"></script><fb:comments href="<?php
echo zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page((int)$_GET['products_id']),'cPath= '.(int)$_GET['cPath'].' &products_id=' . (int)$_GET['products_id']);
?>" num_posts="5" width="600"></fb:comments>
<!--eof Facebook comments-->

Paste the code where you want the comment box to appear on your /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php

'cPath= '.(int)$_GET['cPath'] 

This will return only the top category, not necessarily the entire cPath. It likely works because you have tested it in a top-level category. The (int) should not be in this section.

'cPath='.$_GET['cPath'] 

Also, remove the space after =.

Hi gjh42.
Thanks for the heads up on the top level issue.
I only have two levels of categories, and I tried it on products in both top and 2nd level category.

I'll leave it to people with more than two category levels to test your suggestion.

Cheers

It may still basically function while using an incomplete cPath. Can you see the cPath that is used in the comment process/link?
This is the way it is used in /includes/modules/pages/index/header_php.php
Line #57 :
zen_redirect(zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), ($cPath ? 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' : '') . 'products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']));

which, assuming there is a cPath, can be simplified to

zen_redirect(zen_href_link(zen_get_info_page($listing->fields['products_id']), 'cPath=' . $cPath . '&' . 'products_id=' . $listing->fields['products_id']));


(int) forces a string value to be an integer, and has the effect of discarding any characters after initial numerals.
'3_57' would become 3.

I had recently put a fb like button on my product pages using similar code from picaflor-azul's tutorial, and when I checked the result on fb just now, the backlink led to the product info page, but with the wrong cPath (top cat only, not subcat). This affected the categories sidebox display, and would most likely affect the breadcrumbs.

When I uploaded a version with the (int) removed and rechecked, it led to the correct info page with the correct cPath. Also, the product image showed on fb where it didn't before.

Hi.
Yes, you are correct.
The incomplete cPath was corrected with removal of (int).

I'm trying to add admin moderation capabilities to the code, but no luck so far.
This is what it says on Facebook: "To moderate, you need to list yourself as an admin. To do this, simply include open graph meta tags on the URL specified as the href parameter of the plugin. Include:<meta property="fb:admins" content="YOUR_FACEBOOK_USER_ID}"/>
I can't seem to find the right place to put this piece of code.
Any ideas?

Have you looked at numinix' tutorial on the subject? That describes adding a bunch of fb og meta properties, so would probably be a good guide.

Hi.
I can't find this tutorial.
Have looked at his website, searched toe forum on his website and here.
Do you have a link to where I can find it?
I'm very interested in adding moderation capabilities to the FB comments plugin.

Cheers

I saw it a few days ago, but don't have a link to it.
