[edit] Feature Request

Allow us to set the link where clicking on the facebook users name / picture goes. In our application each player has their own portfolio page, and since most of the comments revolve around what's in their portfolio - a person's natural inclination is to click on their name or picture & expect to be taken to their portfolio page (from that page we link back to the persons facebook profile).

DITTO -11/29/07

Also, when a user clicks "view all" allow us to supply a common header up top so that it confines to the look & feel of our application.

Allow in Profile. Please allow this Tag to work in the profile. It would be great!

Exclude_ids I think it would be a good idea for the developer to be able to exclude certain users from being able to write a comment, such as a user who used profound or offensive language and the developer feels that they are hurting the growth of the application.

[edit] Feature Idea: <fb:thread>

Has anyone figured out any tags/ways to add message threads to their application?

I'm looking for something like the facebook messaging system that we can embedd in our app. I know facebook released the fb:comment and fb:board tags but the top level view of the UI(that only shows the first x # of posts) is a lot more spread out than we'd like and don't think they've released any tags specific to threads like they've implemented with their messaging system. It would also be great if they broke out the text box for posting into a separate tag we could position on a page as we'd like

[edit] Feature Idea: Posting TextBox Tag

Any chance we can get a tag broken out for the text box used to post to a comment board?(The text box could be associated to it's comment board by the xid of the comment board) This would allow us to choose where on the page we put the input box for a comment board. It would also allow us to include multiple fb:comments and inputs on the same page.

[edit] Great, but.

This is great but the post text-area is on a separate page, not in-line, which would be a nice option. And the box header background color is off: should be #D8DFEA but is darker #CFD7E4, even sub-header is a darker grey than it should be. Oh, and the time (zone?) is incorrect when viewing on the canvas...and "message - delete" should be capitalized. This tag needs attention and it would be perfect!

This is an awesome tag, however, may I suggest a couple of "meta-tags"? Like <fb:if-has-comments> and <fb:comment-count>, so when we link towards the comment-page, we can actually show how many comments there are for that xid: "<fb:if-has-comments xid=bla>Comments (<fb:comment-count xid=bla />)<fb:else>Be the first to comment!</fb:if-has-comments>" --709269047 14:09, 18 August 2007 (PDT)

"If you return true for the action requested in the fb:comments tag, you can assume the action was performed."

I'd love to see a <fb:comments-count> tag. LOVE. Vindexus 17:08, 27 September 2007 (PDT)

This is rather vague, some details on what this means would be rather helpful. -- Douglas Thrift 2007-08-25T01:56:30Z

Also would be nice to know if this comments section contains Paging built in? -- Ian Warner

• After 10 posts a "See all" link shows at the bottom. Dunno if that page is paginated but I'm sure its just like your profile's wall. --Tony 14:23, 21 June 2008 (PDT)

[edit] Using with Ajax

If you are trying to include one of these walls in an area of the page that is returned from an Ajax call, note it will not be correctly styled. It appears that the kit/wall.css is only included on page load if there is a fb:comment found on the existing page. A work around is to include a dummy wall in a div that is display:none'd in order for the CSS to get loaded.

Perhaps they'll give us the ability to trigger the css load on the parent page or something? --543396022 16:32, 29 September 2007 (PDT)

[edit] Strange Behaviour

Can not display comment in the profile box

We are trying to use this in the profile box, but it just does not show. Anyone knows why and how to fix this?

Thanks!

                         <fb:comments xid="$some_xid" canpost="false" candelete="false" numposts="3">
                           <fb:title>Comments</fb:title>
                         </fb:comments>

[edit] Show network

What about adding an option in the tag to display a user's network next to their name. I'd find that helpful. --Tony 14:24, 21 June 2008 (PDT)

[edit] Show Last Comment

Is there any easy way to display the last comment left, either on a canvas page or in profileFBML?

[edit] Bug when rendered from ajax

There is also a bug where you can't create fb:comments from an ajax call. http://bugs.developers.facebook.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1154

[edit] Clear behavior

Unless I'm missing something, this tag is pretty difficult to integrate into a CSS layout since it has elements that clear: both. The "clearfix" hack thing is of particular difficulty to work with. A parameter to control the behavior of this would be a nice addition. Really amazing tag, though; I was idealizing something like this! -216900466 19:36, 10 January 2008 (PST)

[edit] Feature ideas: profile URL, Wall to Wall

Couple of ideas:

1. Make it possible to choose where the users' names and pictures will link to. So, perhaps a parameter, profileurl="mycanvasurl/user.php?id=", where the ID would be stuck on the end. I'd like to keep users within my own app when they click users' names.
2. Make it possible to have a "wall to wall" callback URL and banter xid. Each user of my application has his or her own in-app wall, so there will probably be wall to wall behavior going on. It'd be neat if I could make a callback URL that would display a wall to wall output.

[edit] Report comments

Is this ever going to have the option of reporting posts similar to <fb:board>? - 193700405 10:06, 28 March 2008 (PDT)

[edit] See all broken?

"See all posts" was working earlier today, but now it's just giving me "I've got nothing for you". Anyone else having the same problem. - 193700405 06:03, 20 June 2008 (PDT)

[edit] Bug in notifications

If you don't ave permission to see someone and they post on the wall the notification just reads " wrote on ______'s Wall. 6:09pm" The name is just left blank. --Tony 15:30, 22 June 2008 (PDT)

[edit] Programmatic Posting

It would be nice to be able to post to a wall programmatically via the API.

When the new profile design launches later this month, you can programmatically post to the user's profile with the Publisher. It still requires the user to initiate the action though.
