Bug: JFBCcomments [LIKE] Not using unique page id

Hey Sean,
Sorry for the delayed response. I'd suggest reading this other post, we just did, which may help explain a little bit about the unique IDs we use and how to best use the JFBContent module vs individual tags per article:

With that said, some more specifics to your post.. If the comments are the same for each article in a blog layout, that's not right. We should be including a unique ID for each comment box. We'll look into it, but let me know if that's what you mean.

As for the Like button that is inserted using the JFBConent plugin can be disabled. Go into the parameters for that plugin and set it to hide. There's some other options available there too you might like.

Hope this answers most of your questions. The dynamic URLs can always be a problem, and we realized that when we first released all the social modules. The Content plugin was our first stab at correcting this, for articles at least, by always using the same ID regardless of how the article is shown. If you have any other feedback, suggestions, or questions, just let us know.

Thanks!

Alright, thanks for the explanation. We'll be consolidating some of the options of the Module to have the same features as the content plugin soon (to be able to hide the additional Like button and some other things). That won't be available until the 3.2 release, but we'll investigate the non-shared ID between the comment box and like button tomorrow or this weekend.

Sorry for the troubles, and thanks for the report. We'll let you know what we find.

After investigating, it seems that Facebook does not have a way to specify URL or unique ID for the Like portion of the Comment Box. Also, by how they've designed it, it seems to operate separately from the comment portion, so there is no way to control the Like.

I put out a new release of the JFBComments module that allow you to hide the Like button in the Comments module. As a workaround, you can hide it and then also use the Like button or Fan box modules to add the Like functionality into your page with control for the URL. Just to note, with this new release the JFBCSocial module will need to be published for the Comments module to work.

If Facebook changes the functionality to allow what you're looking for, we'll update our modules, but until then, this is the only solution we've found.
