Hi Alex, Back again.Lol
I am have some problems with the comments box :rolleyes: I have input the code {JFBcomments} into my chosen articles and the comments box displays perfectly, but everytime i make a comment on a article the comment will display on all of the articles. Can i keep the comment to the chosen articles????
Article 1
Article 2
Article 3
As you can see by visiting these 3 links that all the comment are on all 3 articles, but i only commented on each individual article once.
How can i make it so each comment sticks to that article and that article only?
Thanks Neil

We're investigating this right now. We think there may be an issue with non SEF URLs. We'll keep you posted. Hopefully will have a solution very shortly.

Actually, I'm not sure if you're working on this right now, but the {} tag just started appearing instead of the actual comment box.

This actually helps us to diagnose what the problem could be. If you're inserting the tag manually into the article, you should also be using the xid=blah text. This should be a unique name for the page for Facebook to associate all comments with. This is useful for multi-page articles and other things (to have the same comment box across them), but is required for each article if you want unique comments per article. If you're using the JFBCComment module, we automatically generate a unique xid for you. If you're using the comment module, let us know, cause then there is still an issue.
Example:
{ JFBCComments xid=supergreatarticle1}

Thanks Alex, that work a treat,
Although i did'nt use text after the xid, i used the article id number instead.

Also i just thought i'd ask, how do i, or can i add a comments box to each and every video and photo and make the comment stick to that object?

An example video page

I'm assuming you mean 'automatically'? There's 2 methods I could think of that may work, just not sure what you're looking for.

1) If you can use the JFBCComments module and put it on all video pages (by menu), that will automatically generate a unique id for each page. This is the recommended way as it's easy, and the link you sent has an Itemid in the query string, which means you already have a menu item for videos. However, that may not work for you depending on how that component works.

2) Right now, if you put the JFBCComments tag without a xid, we'll set it to use '1'. For the module, we automatically generate the tag. We could update the plugin to do the same thing, as I'm not sure how often a user would want the same comment box to automatically be set in multiple places.

Hope the choices make sense. #1 is doable now, #2 will likely be in a future release either way, but if you need it sooner, we can prioritize it more.

Thanks!
