Facebook comments notifications

There's no way to do that currently. JFBConnect does have an email notification feature that will let you email a set group of addresses (from the Social -> Notifications area) whenever a new share or comment is created.

The difficulty with what you're looking for is adding code that will a) parse the URL that was shared, b) determine if it was from com_content (a Joomla article), c) find the author and d) mail that person.

Honestly, step a) is the most difficult as sometimes the URL encodings get difficult and Joomla has a difficult time parsing them out (especially with 3rd party SEF extensions). It's an interesting idea though.

The issue I see is that if the author doesn't have a social network account, though, they wouldn't be able to respond to the comment at all since Facebook only allows users who are logged into Facebook.com to leave comments.

I'll try to do a little looking on how this could be done, but please let me know any feedback you may have on the above as well.

Thanks,
Alex

The moderation ability is only accessible to the admins of your Facebook application. You would need to add each user manually. There's not a way to let your users/authors set a moderator for their content on your site. It does seem like you add Facebook user IDs to each page to allow specific moderators on a per-page basis. This, again, is something we'd have to look into.. I can see automatically looking up the author of an article and adding their FB User ID (if they've authenticated with FB on your site) to the head to allow them to be a moderator. It's an interesting idea.

The other option, if you're adding moderators to your Facebook application directly so they can moderate all comments, is to also add their actual email address to the notification area of JFBConnect.

I hope that helps,
Alex
