Comments url

Hi there

Just looking at the documentation, in relation to custom tags, specifically, comments. There is this line...
{JFBCComments href=http://www.sourcecoast.com width=550 num_posts=10 colorscheme=dark}

I should know this, but the url should be what? The url of my Facebook page, or the website, or something else? And what does it do? I mean, as I understand, the comments just get posted to the page's wall and the poster's profile's feed (correct??), so why is the url to my Facebook profile needed? How is the info used?

And also, is there a tag that inserts the output of the 'content-plugin like' into the content? (The event component I'm using accepts the tags, but doesn't show the plugin's output automatically.)

Thanks yet again!

Hi thanks for the answer. Just discovered a big and related issue for me.

I have an 'events' page with brief listings of six or seven upcoming music acts . Each entry is autogenerated from a form, using RSEvents, completed by the website owner. They are all on the one page. I've added {JFBCComments href=http://www.eventpageurl.com width=400 num_posts=3 colorscheme=light}, so I get a comment box below each event. Great, just what I want.

But. When I post a comment, it gets repeated across all the comment boxes on the page (see screenshot for two of them)!! What can I do??

What I want is to have the one page, on which the events reside when the form is completed, each with their own comment box. When a comment is posted to one of the boxes, I want the comment to stay in that box and not be copied to all of the other comment boxes on the page. Has to be possible, has to be?

If it helps, the event links to another fuller page, with it's own url, but I don't want to bury the comment box that deep. Another possibility, is to have the comment box module on it's own on the event page, but it would be much better to have the boxes attached to each event.

(Don't know if it's related, but I can't see facebook's moderation features. On the regular articles, if a comment is posted, it gets moderated, but not on this events page. What do you think?)

Thanks for sure on this one!

Hi again, thanks for the info. I understand sortof.

The problem seems to be the 'auto' way that the events are created in RSEvents. Info is entered in a form, and a details page is produced and a summary is added to an events page, where it joins a listing of the other events. All done automatically, once the form is filled out.

By adding your tag to the template used by RSEvents I get the comment box appearing. If I put it in the template for the details page, it gets it's own url, and the comments box is fine.

If I put the tag into the events page template, then the box gets automatically added to all of the different events (in the screenshot you can see two of the events, with comment boxes attached). All automatic, once the form is completed. Again, great. But, a comment in one gets duplicated in all of the others. "Admin test" in one gets copied across every comment box on the page.

I can't alter the url manually, what can I do?? (As said above, I could use the comment box module, but I would then just have the one. Or I could keep them on the details page, but that's another link deeper.)

What do you think?

Hiya, back again.

Okay, after checking with the developers, the code comes from a text box within the component (rather than a file as such). This code produces the entry for each event, which is then repeated for however many events there are to fill the 'events listings' page. I have this in the text box (can't seem to paste code into this post directly)...

If I add {JFBCComments href=http://www.eventpageurl.com width=400 num_posts=3 colorscheme=light} into the above textbox, I get the problems described above. That is, a comment box after each entry (great!), but a comment in one gets repeated to all of them!!

My aim is to have the comments boxes attached to each event, with their own comments. I could have them on the events' own page (which I have done), but it's too deep into the website, or in a module on the events listings page, but that doesn't look so enticing. So what to do??

There is a php file (attached), but most of it is ignored, except for one line, which I guess pulls in the code above...



Thanks for sure!

Hi, thanks. Can I double check the code? What do I change url= to??

ByYou mean replace {EventLink} with this...
Tried changing it in various ways, including with no parameters. The link was broken, some "> marks were showing as text, and some of the headings were blue!!

Even if this works, wouldn't the comments box be located where the heading should be? What if I want the box below the description text (which is produced by the {EventDescription} tag shown in the code I posted as an image}?

Thanks again!
