implement multiple facebook comments boxes on my site - facebook

i need to add facebook comment to each of my Products page
i'm using asp.net
and my Products page url like this (mydomail.com/Products.aspx?id=5)
is there any way to do this

Similar to the Facebook Like button, the Facebook comments plugin is associated with a URL -- it's what makes it unique.
Since you're using an id parameter in your URL, simply pass in your URL to the comments plugin. That should make it so that every page has a unique set of comments.
For example, on products page 5 you could do:
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="<?php echo 'http://myurl.com?id=' . $_GET['id']; ?>" data-width="470" data-num-posts="2"></div>
You'll of course want to make sure that you've dropped in the Facebook Javascript SDK snippet (I'd recommend loading this into the top of your HTML body dynamically):
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=336176363148369";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
There are other types of plugins that you can use (XFBML, IFRAME), and everything is documented here.

use
FB.XFBML.parse()
after your new facebook plugin

Can't get the Facebook comment moderation to work

I have implemented the Facebook comments plugin to a page on my site. In addition to this I would like to be bale to moderate the comments. I followed the instructions on the Facebook developer section and implemented as described. I wanted to use the inline moderation tool rather than create an app. So I placed the following meta data.
<meta property="fb:admins" content="533551342"/>
Where the content is set to my Facebook profile ID.
I have then placed the script code as per Facebook developer instructions.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&appId=672941899483225&version=v2.3";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
Once that is in place, I added the comments section to the site using the code instructed.
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://www.microspot.com/case-studies/boat_design.htm" data-width="540" data-numposts="10" data-colorscheme="light"></div>
So with all this in place the comments section shows and works, but the moderate link does not appear next to the number of posts text (which is what should happen according to face books documentation).
The web page is http://www.microspot.com/case-studies/boat_design.htm
Thanks in advance.
It seems the issue was not with the code but with Facebook re-indexing my changes. There is a tool on the Facebook developer page for debugging and indexing your changes.
Any update you make to the Facebook code on your webpage, especially the meta data, you should always use the following debug tool.
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/
Simply paste your webpage link (should be a live page not local) into the box and follow the instructions each time you make a change.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&appId=672941899483225&version=v2.3";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>

Embed multiple posts. What's the right way?

The embed post feature on facebook generates a code like this
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>
(function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) return; js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/it_IT/all.js#xfbml=1"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }
(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<div class="fb-post"....[cut]
I have not found any reference on the right way to embed multiple posts on the same page.
Because this code build a div with a non-random id (fb-root) and a script tag with non-random id too.
Should I (or Can I) modify these id in order to prevent multiple elements with the same ID?
It works now for me for a coincidence?
Can I prevent the load of all.js script every time?
I cannot use the graph or some advanced feature, because the copy&paste should be an action made by an editor and not by a developer (I need a very simple way for include a public post on external website)
Add the Javascript once. And the <div class="fb-post" ...> you add one per post that you want to embed.

How to add facebook comments to my website page using facebook API?

With the new "comments edge" implementation, does somebody know if I can let people to add comments to my website page using my own "add comment" form?
According to documentation you can publish a comment to any object_id (and an object_id could be a website url I think).
Couldn't you just use the Comments Plugin (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments), or do you need to create something custom by all means?
After a research, is not possible to use an external form to add facebook comments to a page, so we are using a "mix" with the facebook comments plugin to submit a comment, and our display comments view to show them. You can check it here: http://www.gemsmoda.com/p44026-ref-55.html (down bellow)
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id))
return;
js = d.createElement(s);
js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_GB/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.8&appId='your-app-key'";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19050121/how-can-i-moderate-facebook-comments-posted-in-my-website" data-numposts="5"></div>

Like a specific post of the timeline of a Facebook page from an external website

I've some trouble with the Like Button. I would like to like a specific post like this one from a external website but it doesn't work:
https://www.facebook.com/236086869778323/posts/597301643656842
For this button I used the following code, which is given by Facebook Developers
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function(d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/de_DE/all.js#xfbml=1";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));</script>
<div class="fb-like" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/236086869778323/posts/597302473656759" data-layout="standard" data-action="like" data-show-faces="true" data-share="true"></div>
When you read the documentation about the Like Button it states
A single click on the Like button will 'like' pieces of content on the web and share them on Facebook. You can also display a Share button next to the Like button to let people add a personal message and customize who they share with.
These pieces of content are external. That is the Like Button is intended to be used for webpages outside of Facebook to share in Facebook.
You will need to use Embedded Posts instead https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/embedded-posts/

Facebook comments, for each page

I installed facebook comments on my website. My website is a dynamic website and pages are like this www.example.com/page?id=54, www.example.com/page?id=67
If I post a comment in this page: www.site.com/page?id=54, it also appears in www.example.com/page?id=67. The comments are not unique for a page, but appear in every page. Why is that ?
It seems that FB ignores the ?query part of the URL when retrieving comments.
What you could do: use some form of URl rewriting, so that your URLs are in the form http://www.example.com/page/id/54/ or similar (i.e., appearing to not use the ?id=something query part). That way, the comments should load for each page separately.
Here is a solution that worked for me.
1- Copy this SDK from Facebook. Most probably you already did that.
<div id="fb-root"></div>
<script>(function (d, s, id) {
var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0];
if (d.getElementById(id)) return;
js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id;
js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=114215202075258";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
2- Then this
<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://example.com" data-width="470" data-num-posts="3"></div>
3- The the solution line. Paste these lines of JS at the end. Make sure you do everything in the similar order as I have. It will work, no matter you have a ? in your URL.
<script>
$(".fb-comments").attr("data-href", window.location.href);
</script>
