README

A really simple module for adding Facebook comments to a silverstripe site. There are probably better ones out there, but this is meant to get you up and running in 5 minutes or so.

INSTALLATION:

1. Create an app in the fb developers area.
2. Either 'composer require markguinn/silverstripe-fb-comments' or download from github into an 'fb-comments' folder in your site root.
3. Either install 'tractorcow/silverstripe-opengraph' module (recommended) or add an 'OGApplicationID' method to SiteConfig with your fb application ID. If you do the former, you'll need/want to add $OGNS to your html tag and probably set OpenGraphObjectExtension::$default_image in _config.php.
4. Add 'FBCommentsExtension' to BlogEntry or Page (or whichever classes you want comments available). Probably something like:

BlogEntry::add_extension('FBComments');

1. Add the following just after the opening body tag IF you're not already including the FB API for something else (like buttons, etc):

<% include OptionalFBAPI %>

1. Add the following where you want comments to show up:

<% include FBComments %>

CONFIG OPTIONS:

The following configuration options are available on FBComments:

• num_posts - The number of comments to show initially. Default is 3.
• comment_width - The width of the comment area. Default is 600
• color_scheme - See FB documentation for details. Default is light.
• notify - list of email addresses to notify if there's a comment
• notify_from - address from which the notification should come
• notify_subject - subject of the notification email

By default, there is no notification when a new comment is posted, but if you set a list of addresses, the plugin will send an email to those people.
