I like to have a feature in my website such as If a user comments a video or his/her comment gets a upvote by a another user. The posted user will gather points. Also if the site Admin wishes they can give more points like +500 for a user. I want things similar to ebay.
Do we have any plugin for this in Wordpress. If there is no plugin available If I try to build this plugin Will that take more time. I am new to wordpress.
Please suggest me.
You basically need a commenting system which has options to do voting by another users. Take a look at Disqus or Livefyre. Both has functionality that you are looking for and very easy to integrate to a WordPress website.

Is there a way to show your facebook wall on a website? I have been looking for days and all I can find is methods of showing ones OWN messages. Im looking for something(script/code) that will show the complete wall including what friends are posting. Is this even possible or is it prohibited by Facebook? I did search there 'developers api site' but couldnt find an anwser to this.
It's possible but you need to build your own custom version as officially facebook doesn't provide any pre-built plugins or code.
You'll have to code a lot of back-end and front-end stuffs. If you're really interested in building something like that, you might wanna consider looking at this script Facebook Wall Script 3.0 with PHP and Jquery
If you want to save time, you might buy that script, do the necessary changes and integrate facebook graph API so it shows data from your fb profile, but if you want build more advance version and have lot of time, then you can build a custom version from scratch.
i don't see the point of show your facebook wall on a website since can have that easily by pointing the user back to your facebook account.
i would suggest you to display a facebook page plugin instead as you can earn some like and it is free of charge.
could you let me know why you want to do that?
As you know, a lot of bigger news websites have intorduced "social readers" for Facebook (e.g. https://apps.facebook.com/wpsocialreader/), which log what the user has read into the activity stream ("Michael read..."). Is it possible to integrate similar functionality into a Wordpress blog? Are the relevant API's open? Are there any plugins available? Thanks.
UPD: http://trac.ahwebdev.fr/projects/facebook-awd
The plugin seems to do the trick. Will have to try it out!
Yep, all of the APIs required to recreate the WashPo Reader or the Guardian reader etc are open, so it shouldn't be an issue to implement it for Wordpress.
Here's the relevant docs - https://developers.facebook.com/docs/opengraph/
i am the creator of Facebook AWD.
From now to get actions publishing working with Facebook AWD and wordpress you must buy a subplugin.
This process will take place with the v1.3 of Facebook AWD
Update: The plugin is ready here: http://facebook-awd.ahwebdev.fr/plugins/opengraph-actions/
Came across this post while searching for something related. Anyone still thinking of integrating Social read with any blog or website can simply use this plugin(For non-developers or for developers who just want to use a ready made solution)..
http://sharethis.com/publishers/get-sharenow
so i have tried various plugins to try this including
loginza looks nice but does not log me in just redirects me back to
my homepage and its in russian
janrain loog very good and theres a simple-modal login plugin that looks brilliant too. but it very expensive as i need this for multiple blogs.
open id i think this turns you into an open id provider non the less i need a google button for my login
why i need this is my users have a name#mydomainname.com but google hosted and this eliminates our use for lots of password. also looks like a lot of other people are looking for a solution to this. any one got any ideas how i can get this
Janrain plugin is free check this link.
And he give all social in the demo (try to comment).
EDIT
Other solution on code canyon.
After several trials, the best plugin for this kind of job is http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/social-connect/
It covers not only Google but other services as well (Facebook, Twitter, WordPress.com)
Here you can find some details on installing it

first time Facebook developer so was hoping for some guidance. Been given a very brief spec:
Requirement is to run it where fans have to give email (so that we can
contact winners) with opt in for newsletter sign up and also must FB
like VF to be entered into prize draw. There will be options to choose
from. They choose one and can't vote more than once.
So I'm thinking about a Facebook application that sits as a tab on the facebook page. If the user hasn't "Liked" the page, they'll be encouraged to "Like" the page in order to proceed.
If it's liked, they'll have an option to opt into our newsletter. They will also be allowed to answer one question with one answer. When they submit it, they will then be entered into a competition.
If they pick the "right" option, we will send them an email telling them so.
Right - does this sound fairly straightforward? Are there any guides, examples or tutorials that could help? Am I going about it in the right way?
Many thanks in advance,
JJ
That sounds very straightforward and you are going about it in the right way.
The best tutorials and examples can probably be found in the Facebook Developers documentation and in the example files within the PHP SDK (http://github.com/facebook/php-sdk/)
To find out if the current viewing user has liked the page or not check out the signed request that Facebook passes to your app tab. It contains this and a lot more useful information http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/signed_request/
What you have is pretty much how the majority of companies are pushing forward with Facebook. They are driving up the Like count by forcing users to Like the page before getting to their goodies. There are lots of examples on the internet as to how to create a page which checks if the user likes the page. As you've not stated what programming language you are going to be tackling this in, it is going to be hard to point you in the right direction.
I just want to get some opinions before I tackle this head on. So far, I've set up a wordpress site and managed to get all post made on this site, appear on facebook on notes. However, all the plugins that do the following functionality that I require, have either been discontinued, or stopped working due to facebook changing their layout.
This is what i need:
The site can be either Drupal or Wordpress (but I'm willing to sacrifice that if there is some other app that I don't know of that can do the points to follow)
All posts made on my site, must be able to appear on Facebook as NOTES (both Drupal, Wordpress and pretty much anything with RSS feed capability can do this)
Any comments made on my site, must go to Facebook and appear there too. (this is probably NOT going to be possible, unless people end up logging in with their facebook details, which is not what I want)
Any comments made on Facebook MUST appear on my site
Point 4 is more important than point 3. I can live without point 3, but I CANT live without point 4. There are quite a few wordpress plugins that claim that they can do this, but I assure you, they don't work! They worked on the principle of scanning the page for content, and due to layout changes, it won't find the right values anymore.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!
Have you had a look at Facebook for Drupal and Facebook Connect. They seem promising.
