Facebook Comments Module Support

This support thread is for my Global Facebook Comments Integration Module

NOTE: FACEBOOK HAS CHANGED THEIR COMMENT MODULE CODE STRUCTURE, AND IF YOUR MODULE STOPPED WORKING, AND I'M SURE IT DID, PLEASE RE-DOWNLOAD THIS MOD, AND REPLACE THE FOLLOWING FILE:

modules/adminmysite/facebook_comments/classes/AmsFaceBookCommentModule.php

This is a great module and I love how it makes our website an extension of Facebook!  Nicely done.

However, there appears to be an annoying bug that significantly reduces its value.  Perhaps you have a fix or can direct me to the appropriate changes?

TO REPRODUCE BUG:

1) When users add a comment on our website (www.redheartbooks.com) it correctly posts to their Facebook wall for their friends to see

2) However, when you click the comment from Facebook, the resulting link includes extra information about the comment id from Facebook... the result is that the URL you land on ends up not having comments (because it's comparing the base url with this new url that has the parameters).  

3) The user must re-navigate to the page naturally (or simply remove the ?xxxx query path from the URL to actually see the comments on that page.

 

Does this wordy explanation make sense?

Here's an example: FB comments posted on our website 
http://www.redheartbooks.com/Kristie

If you click that link, you can see the FB comments posted.

However, when I click a related link from Facebook, the resulting URL is:
http://www.redheartbooks.com/Kristie?fb_comment_id=fbc_10150788758267556_23766059_10150788762197556#f209a3d3b

Even though it is the same page, your module won't show comments for the second URL.  So essentially, every time you get referred from Facebook it looks like there are no comments.

 

Thanks in advance for your help,

When I installed "Facebook Comment Module", it appears the facebook_comment block in "Page blocks Builders" for all pages from other modules (e.g. profile, photo, etc.) that I already installed before "Facebook Comment Module". (See attached file fbc-01)

But when I installed other modules after "Facebook Comment Module" I cannot see the facebook_comment block appeared in "Page blocks Builders" for pages in that new installed module (e.g. events, stores, ads, forums, etc.). (See attached file fbc-02)

So I have to reinstall the "Facebook Comment Module" again to make the facebook_comment block appear to all pages.

Please suggest me how to make the facebook_comment block appear wiithout reinstall "Facebook Comment Module"

FB comment mod needs to be reinstalled, it adds FB blocks during the installation process only for all installed modules

Hi there,

Is it possible to get a notification every time someone posts a comment? I would like to have that option as admin.

 yes, click the "Subscribe" top right of each topic

Does anyone know how to change the font color? Also if i click on the notification in FB, which should redirect me back to my site, which it does, but i can't view the comments.

Everyday is a new beginning.
