fb:comments won’t load on some EE pages
Development and Programming
Hello there
I’m using facebook connect with fb:comments as my comments on my ee site. However, the comment box does not load on some pages, namely my homepage and on the pages accessed via my tag template. I feel like it has something to do with the URL but I’m not sure.
My tag template is within my “site” group so I can’t figure out why it would get lost. I’ve tried adding a “/” before my xd_receiver.htm file, but that didn’t work either. Has anyone run into this and have any pointers?? Thanks so much
[Mod Edit: Moved to the Extensions forum]
Welcome to the ExpressionEngine forums, contactizm. Comments in EE work for just single entry pages in general.
You need to have the url_title or entry_id present in the url.
Also you can get support for Fabee on GetSatisfaction. The link should be on the fabee site.
Does that help?
This does help, thank you. I guess that I can build my own comments box and have it work with fb connect thought right? That way the comments will work with multiple entries per page?
Hi, contactizm - what are you using to connect to Facebook? fb:comments is not part of the FabEE extension.
thanks again for helping. here’s what i’m trying to do, maybe my mistake is something dumb.
(i’ve modified since my original post)
i have a template that displays single posts, with entry_id_path in the url. all i’d like to do is have a fb:comment box load for each of these individual posts, and i imagine it will remember the comments based on the entry id in the url right? blow is the code, please help, thanks!
the javascript files are being referenced in an embedded template that loads on each page, as it has a facebook fan box widget … code for that below
[removed][removed][removed]FB.init("e88805dc5190c0c5c7ade7c61168bfee", "xd_receiver.htm");[removed]<fb:fan profile_id="170794397608" stream="0" connections="4" logobar="1" width="150" height="242"></fb:fan>for whatever reason, the fan box loads, but the comment box will not … pleeease help 😊
Did you ever get this to work? I’m having the same problem….
i did … it seems the answer is to use an extension like fabEE that gives you a set of variables to work with in EE. it’s $60, but very worth it. for the comment box, you just create your own and work with the fabEE variables and CSS to make it all look nice.

You don’t have to use FabEE. I’ve had great success using:
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="default" limit="1" disable="member_data|pagination|trackbacks"}
<div>
<fb:comments xid="{entry_id}" simple="true" css="http://grantmx.com/styles/sf-fbcomments.css?3" width="575px" title="{title}"></fb:comments>
</div>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
