Facebook comments, for each page - facebook

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>

Specific Facebook page plugin doesn't work on mobile

I came across something strange; the Facebok Page Plugin doesn't load on mobile only if it's for a specific Facebook page.
My code:
<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/sdk.js#xfbml=1&version=v2.4&appId=1591121954498982";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
<div class="fb-page" data-adapt-container-width="true" data-height="350" data-hide-cover="false" data-href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/סיפורי-פירות-Fruit-Story/410067012494711?fref=ts" data-show-facepile="true" data-show-posts="true" data-small-header="false"> </div>
Changing just this line:
data-href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/סיפורי-פירות-Fruit-Story/410067012494711?fref=ts"
to another page's URL such as:
data-href="https://www.facebook.com/CocaColaUnitedStates?fref=ts"
...makes the plugin load fine.
Is it because the page URL contains Hebrew? Is there a relevant page setting?
I set up a small demo page:
http://s-fruit.co.il/facebook-test.html
Found the cause!
This is an intentional (though peculiar) behavior of Facebook when dealing with age-restricted pages and guest users (not logged in, as it often happens on mobile browsers as most use the app).
Why not simply display a login prompt? Some paraphrased info? Who knows. At least the mystery is solved.

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>

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>

Facebook Send/Like buttons not working on my site page

When I clicked the LIKE or SEND buttons on my site for this link, I get this error:
The page at http://aftersqool.com/a?id=C217EE could not be reached.
Strangely, the page is loading without any issues. The page even has the og tags that Facebook requires.
Anyone know why Facebook is giving this error? What should I do to get the buttons working?
Thanks!

You can’t use the Send Button if you’re using Facebook as a Page instead of a Personal Profile.
The Send Button only works with XFBML version of the Like Button; it doesn't work with the iFrame version of the Like Button, per Facebook’s announcement
One more important thing is to provide your facebook page's URL in send and like button. It will defiantly fix it.
If your facebook page URL is: http://www.facebook.com/aftersqool
put this code in it
/*put this code in body*/
<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";
fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs);
}(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));
</script>
/*put this code in site where you want to add it*/
<div class="fb-like" data-href="http://www.facebook.com/AfterSqool" data-width="450" data-show-faces="true" data-send="true"></div>
I could not get Smit Shilu solution to work. I had to remove xfmb=1 to get my buttons to work. Full solution here.

implement multiple facebook comments boxes on my site

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
