jwFacebook Comments 2.0! 
It will now be able to be implemented in the Blog Category, Frontpage, and Full Article view, and it has also been given some more connectivity options through the implementation of a 'onReady' Javascript statement which executes when the jwFacebook Comments has renders.
There is also support for the Full CSS and Compact CSS (Compact CSS is used when the FB Comment block is rendered on a Blog Layout or Frontpage component). Likewise there is also support for a Compact JS file to be run, which can be loaded with jQuery (or Mootools) to better manipulate the output.
Sections and Category Whitelisting has been given a revamp as well, and the article exclusion tag has been implemented more effectively.
UPDATES:
2.0.1 - Added Compact Mode Off switch to turn off the comments on the frontpage component and in blog view (basically when this is set to Yes it will restrict the FB Comments output to the full article view only - as per the original code)
To sum up : Very good job, but needs improvements...
In editing the CSS to make it skinnier and fit my template, I noticed that I could modify the width of every div I needed to except the white background behind it all. No luck for hours, it was driving me crazy...
Then, I searched for the color code "000" in the .php file. I found it, and edited the width of it there, fixing my problem!
No, I just need to figure out how to create a useful compact CSS file for the frontpage of my blog that doesn't take up much space on each article.
Any direction here?
updates are coming to allow you to use the plugin with any layout, and with a little jQuery or Mootools you should be able to prevent the plugin from overcrowding your layouts.
See the jwarlock.com implementation I have done with help of jQuery and a lightbox effect.
The extension is perfect except for not being able to be shown in blog_items. It only appears in article default layout and i need it in category-blog layout.
I wouldn't mind to donate but the plugin is suposed to be fired whenever a full article is shown.. and that should include blog items!
However, there is one important limitation which prevents me (and probably others) to use it: The width the comment field can't be adjusted. This can mess up the whole template in case a colum is to narrow.
Hi,
Thanks for the review :)
The width of the comment field is controllable via the CSS file you can attach to the plugin. (Keep in mind the URL to the CSS file is supposed to be absolute too).
The CSS file will allow you to change the colors of any targettable element in the iframe output which is being piped back from the facebook FMBL engine.
For example. Adding the following rule to the CSS file which you attach to the comments window would add a red 1 pixel border around the textarea control.
div.composer div.UIContentBox div div div input.DOMControl_placeholder{border:1px solid red;}
but I could dont have configure
Hi Rogant,
The configuration at the moment is only available in the plugin's settings page. If you have downloaded the latest version then that version will allow better control of Category and Sections whitelisting.
Thanks for the review :)
The style. css fails, there is no way to adapt.
The option to activate the sections and categories dont run well, ever all is activated.
I do not know if the problem is not compatibility of my web.
Good job
hi noartclub,
Could you please email me with an example of what URLs you are experiencing problems with?
I'll see if there is something I can do with it.
Thanks dharam,
It is good to see another member here, and more flattering to know you joined because of this extension.
Hi,
Thanks for pointing this one out. The IE doctype is most certainly important, and I am working on a fix for that one that I will hope to have ready sometime in the next 48 hours.
The CSS file is available at (http://www.jwarlock.com/media/wall.css) and it has a breakdown of 95% of the CSS rules you can apply styles to.
I hope that helps out some.
Super Job Adam!
I will be updating this in a few days, as well as releasing a few more Facebook related modules.
Do you have any insight as to getting the full Facebook API working on a Joomla! site? No one has done this yet.
Thanks for the good work so far!
