Installation.

1. To install the modification on your CS-Cart, it is necessary to copy this archive to the root directory and unpack it.
2. Then one should install the "[WSA] Facebook Comments" module on the modules page in the administrator area.

Setting Facebook.

https://www.facebook.com/r.php

2. Enter your account in facebook and follow the link below:
https://developers.facebook.com/apps

Please have a look at the screenshots "Create New App", "Create New App_1" and "Create New App_2" in the attachments.

5. On the parameters page of the new created app, please complete the following fields.
- "App Domains" – the domain of your store where facebook comments will be located.
(!) Please note that the value is specified without "http" and "www". Here is an example: demo.cs-cart.webshopaddons.com .
- Select the “Website with Facebook Login" option and complete the "Site URL" field appeared.
(!) Please note that the value is specified with "http". Here is an example: http://demo.cs-cart.webshopaddons.com/ .

6. The "App ID" received (in the screen shot the field has the value "463827963711966") should be completed in settings of the "[WSA] Facebook Comments" add-on in the administration panel.
The "user id" field should also be completed. The user id value you can find out from the heading of your facebook page, here is an example: http://www.facebook....100006019449033 where user id is 100006019449033.
If a nickname is defined for your account, here is an example: http://www.facebook....addons.maverick , to find out your user id, you need to follow this link:
https://graph.facebo...addons.maverick
but you should specify your nickname instead of "webshopaddons.maverick".
(!) Please do not mistake the fields.

Please have a look at the screenshots "[WSA] Facebook Comments options" and "user id" in the attachments.

Due to the settings made, when you are logged in to your Facebook account, when the comments are displayed, the "Moderator view" moderation panel will appear for you.

Please have a look at the screenshot "facebook_moderator_view" in the attachments.


Setting the block for a product.
1. On the block page, here is an example:
http://demo.cs-cart...._manager.manage

http://demo.cs-cart....tch=tabs.manage

Please have a look at the screenshot "Editing tab - Facebook Comments" in the attachments.

Now you can go to the product details page and check the add-on operation.
Here is an example: http://demo.cs-cart....-series-tv.html

I will be glad for any comments.

Thank you.

Now this is called Addon -

[kickoff3pm]

You know what would make this addon even better ?

If you combined it with reward points so the shop owner could reward anyone who comments with a few points into their account.I'm thinking;

Post a comment about this product and earn ten reward points.

Maximum reward points that can be warned per month is 100 reward points.

I would imagine this would really bring some traffic in via Facebook as customers scramble to get something for free. This in turn would not at all harm their Google ranking of the site.

[Hungryweb]

I just sow @kickoff3pm using it and in my opinion is not sending the incorrect link to Facebook

Fix for correct seo url:
#replace into file f_comments_product.tpl :

data-href="{$config.current_location}/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id={$smarty.request.product_id}"

with:

data-href="http://{$config.http_host}{"products.view&product_id=`$smarty.request.product_id`"|fn_url}"

final result should be:

<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://{$config.http_host}{"products.view&product_id=`$smarty.request.product_id`"|fn_url}" data-width="{$addons.wsa_f_comments.wsa_f_comments_products_width}" data-num-posts="{$addons.wsa_f_comments.wsa_f_comments_products_num_posts}" data-colorscheme="{$addons.wsa_f_comments.wsa_f_comments_products_colorscheme}" data-order_by="{$addons.wsa_f_comments.wsa_f_comments_products_order_by}"></div>

I hope that helps,

Thanks val, suppose I should have ran it past you before installing anyway

[Damir (WSA-team)]

Dear friends,

Nice Share, But How to Change Language To English ?

Thank you for the correction. Yes, everything is right. It is necessary to make alterations with the file "var/skins_repository/basic/customer/addons/wsa_f_comments/hooks/index/footer.post.tpl" to make the commentary interface work in english. Symbols "ru_RU" should be replaced for "en_US". After that it is necessary to reinstall the add-on.
Also you can download a new install archive in the first message.

Now this is called Addon -

miracles, yes it's called add-on It's not easy for all users to make Facebook's documentation out, that is why we lower essential operations as much as possible and make the description of the setting's algorithm more detailed. Moreover add-on has settings due to which it is possible to change an external view just from the admin panel that makes the setting easier.

You know what would make this addon even better ?

If you combined it with reward points so the shop owner could reward anyone who comments with a few points into their account.I'm thinking;

Maximum reward points that can be warned per month is 100 reward points.

I would imagine this would really bring some traffic in via Facebook as customers scramble to get something for free. This in turn would not at all harm their Google ranking of the site.

Thank you for the offered idea. I'd like to notice that we are planning update on each add-on provided by us. Now about your current idea. It's very interesting but with reference to Facebook's comments it'll be hard to develop automatic reward points. Maybe we'll be able to make a simplified variant in future.

...
final result should be:

<div class="fb-comments" data-href="http://{$config.http_host}{"products.view&product_id=`$smarty.request.product_id`"|fn_url}" data-width="{$addons.wsa_f_comments.wsa_f_comments_products_width}" data-num-posts="{$addons.wsa_f_comments.wsa_f_comments_products_num_posts}" data-colorscheme="{$addons.wsa_f_comments.wsa_f_comments_products_colorscheme}" data-order_by="{$addons.wsa_f_comments.wsa_f_comments_products_order_by}"></div>

It's strange that in your case the variable "current location" lacked the full store's address with "http". We'll examine this question more detailed at a release of a new version of an add-on. In any case thank you for the proposed solution, maybe it'll be useful for other users.

[kickoff3pm]

Another idea is to have all the comments listed in the admin section with links to the product.

This is so the admin know where and when the has been a comment made.

Either that or send an email to admin.

Love it!

[Mashmedia]

I have installed the addon and it works great! http://www.dampersho...h-ecab-wit.html
But 1 problem. The product image is not shared on facebook. He grabs a random image from the website.

Maybe there is already a solution?

Facebook has a set of open-graph meta tags that it looks at to decide which image to show. You can find more detailed information by following the link given below:
http://stackoverflow...r-select-images

[kickoff3pm]

It says you need to put this in your header;

<meta property="og:title" content="title" />
<meta property="og:description" content="description" />
<meta property="og:image" content="thumbnail_image" />

But we would be someone who can code to convert that into code that works for each product.

[StellarBytes]

There's a rather basic modification available on the forum for rich snippets/schema/meta data which allows you to copy/paste the code on the relevant template which provides you with rich snippets (schema tags), thus you also get the correct product thumbnail image showing on Facebook.

But we would be someone who can code to convert that into code that works for each product.

OK. This mods will be added in a new version of the addon which appears after our website’s publication. Follow our team’s renewals.

[kickoff3pm]

Damir, in your setting you have;

Your facebook user ids to moderate(example: 100004736109179):

Using the id like that produces and error when the url is debuged. -
'fb:admins' could
not be parsed as type 'fbid'."

Replace that with the facebook name seems to work better; Is this how it should look till the property meta is fixed ?
Inferred Property The 'og:url' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property The 'og:title' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property The 'og:description' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
Inferred Property The 'og:image' property should be explicitly provided, even if a value can be inferred from other tags.
og:image should be larger Provided og:image is not big enough. Please use an image that's at least 200x200 px. Image 'http://matchdaymemor...40/P1070316.png' will be used instead.

As far as i've understood you had a error at the instruction the meaning in the form of numbers (id) for the field "Your facebook user ids to moderate".

I'd like to notice that you can use numbers (e.g.,100004736109179) or login (e.g.,webshopaddons) as meanings for the field "Your facebook user ids to moderate".

According to the link below you can see Facebook successfully defined the administrator for the meaning of the field in the form of numbers:
http://developers.fa...-series-tv.html

Also Facebook successfully defined the meaning in the form of login on your site:
http://developers.fa...-programme.html

[kickoff3pm]

To be honest I don't understand any of it. I does work I was just look to get the correct images.

Does this addon word with cs-cart 2.x.x?
