I recently implemented the Facebook social plugin for comments on my blog. I assumed, incorrectly, that I would get a Facebook notification when someone posts a comment to one of my articles. I was wondering if that is a possibility.
I have read references to the use of a event.subscribe function in the javascript SDK, but I wasn't really interested in creating a javascript-based notification dingus but would rather just see the little badge in my Facebook notification window.
I'd love any insight on how others have addressed this.
Thanks in advance!
Just add yourself as moderator under Facebook developers comments tool. That's it. You'll start getting notifications of any comments on any of your blog posts.
Shorter way:
Open this url (am assuming you are signed into Facebook and is administrator of your Facebook app):
https://developers.facebook.com/tools/comments/
Click on settings
Add yourself (or any of your friend/employee) as moderator.
Lengthier way:
Click on 'Moderation Tool' on any of your blogpost's facebook comments.
You must be on Facebook developers page now. On this page, you must be seeing something like 'your app name' > 'the blogpost title' (from where you clicked moderation tool). Here click on your app name.
On this new page, click on settings.
You must be seeing a modal now. Add yourself (or any of your friend) as moderator here.
You must be getting notifications now.
For those who have been struggling to find a way to get notified when someone sends a comment on your page, here's a (sort of) solution.
Assuming you've created an app for your website, add the following meta tag to your <head>: <meta property="fb:app_id" content="YOUR_APP_ID_HERE" />
Then in Facebook Moderation Tool choose your app and click on Settings in top right corner. In settings, choose Moderation rules tab and at the bottom, you'll find an option Closed under Moderation heading. Select this option. By setting Closed option you basically have to approve all comments that are added to your site, but right now that's the only option how to get notified right in your Facebook without setting up custom listeners on comment.create event. That's also why this solution is sort of solution.
Also don't forget to add yourself as a moderator as Saurabh's answer suggests (otherwise you won't get any notification in your facebook).
Easiest way is to just check the Facebook moderation tool. You could build some kind of notification system that pulls comments using the graph api. I haven't seen any alert/notification system yet that somebody has else built but it would be pretty easy.
Unfortunately, even on the doncaprio blog, the owner has noted that
"For some reasons, notifications stopped working for some months now. I'm yet to find a fix for this... seems like an issue with fb or something."
I've come to the conclusion that I have to live with not having comment notifications.

I am trying to send a link to the review section on the FB app so someone can leave a review for the business page.
This link opens the businesses app page but would like to structure it so it automatically opens the leave review section.
Any suggestions to ad something to the end of this URL to make this happen?

This is not supported. People have found ways to work around this, but it's not guaranteed to work and not officially supported.
I have tried using all different plugins (facebook, facebook comments, seo facebook comments, and more), I have even added the application manualy (https://developers.facebook.com/docs/plugins/comments/ using html5 plugin code). All options do the same thing.
Comments show up that is all fine. Readers are able to comment on the website through the box, thats fine too. But then when I want to publish to facebook, all seems good too, it will publish it. But when I go to facebook and click on the published comment, it is not possible to like or comment (on the publish comment). Facebook shows the comment on the timeline, but clicking on it gives this message:
"Object cannot be liked
Unable to like this object because it is not accessible (it may have been removed or you may no longer have permission to see it)."
I can click the link in "John Doe has commented on a link" and it will take me to the page however.
Some other strange things that happen are (on the actual wp post) when you comment and have the "post to facebook" box checked, it won't publish straight away, but give the message "This comment has not yet been published to Facebook. Publish Comment". Only after clicking publish comment will it ask permission to publish on my profile.
And then when you want to delete the message, it will say "Oops Something went wrong. We're working on getting it fixed as soon as we can." Click delete again and it deletes. No fail every time on the second time after that message.
Please help me out, before I go crazy :P Website is tryajuice.com
I am also using Yoast WordPress SEO: Social, OneAll social login, which might influence it, but deactivating them all doesn't make a difference, unfortunately.
Any help will be much appreciated.

I have recently implemented the Facebook Comments box plugin and have multiple users set as admins via the plugin itself. These users are also admins on our facebook fan page but they are NOT listed in the OG:admin tag. These users receive tons of On-Site (red alert) notifications whenever a comment is left via the comment box and we would like to turn that off.
I have also tried having users set via OG:admin and NOT through the app itself and while that seems to stop the notifications, it also disables the ability to moderate all the comments via http://developers.facebook.com/tools/comments/ note: these OG:admins can moderate comments on the individual stories, just not all in the above moderation tool.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am having the same problem. I think I've found the solution.
1- Go to: https://developers.facebook.com/tools/comments/
2- Click on "Settings" (top right). A popup will appear.
3- On the first tab, 3rd option, set "Ensable notifications" to "Off" (as shown here: http://i.stack.imgur.com/2bUBD.png)
By the way, I've found a similar question and I've also posted my answer here: How to disable Facebook "commented on your site" notification. I'm new to Stack Overflow. I hope this is correct.
I am creating a small Facebook application for pages (not profiles).
I can see in many tutorials, to allow the application to be added to a page, as a tab, you need to select in the app settings:
Authentification -> Authentification Settings -> Installable to : Facebook pages.
I think the menu is evolving since different tutorials show different locations.
Form the screenshots, I can tell this page is for me Facebook Integration.
In it I can see the Page Tabs section, but there is no "Installable to" option.
Not here nor anywhere else.
That really drives me crazy, I have wasted almost half day on this, I just want to click this option ... :(
If anyone can tip me on this my appreciation will be infinite!
Thank you,
Aurelien
That option is no longer exists (at least in the settings page).
What you can do is getting the page admin to authorize your application and then post on his behalf OR get the page access token (also needs the admin authorization) by asking for the manage_pages permission.
A quick note when reading tutorials about facebook development, check the date of the article because most of articles are outdated!
I found out how to add my app to a new tab:
You need to create a profile for the page admin! If you didn't, on the top right of Facebook page you should have a link 'Create Your Profile'. It doesn't make sense to me but ...
Go to this link (thanks ifaour):https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=YOUR_APP_ID&redirect_uri=YOUR_URL&scope=manage_pages&response_type=token
Got to your http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?id=YOUR_APP_ID and add the app to your page
