Facebook like button and comments plugin has been added to Widget Framework 1.10. Stories, List, Most Popular, Trailer, Popular List, Page Tools widget has been modified to support facebook like button beside each teaser. You will find a checkbox in the general tab of those widget. If you select the checkbox then facebook like button will be shown in each teaser of those widgets. All views of List widget does not support facebook like. Only detailed, picture and video view has this support.

Comment widget has been modified to support comment. A new view named Facebook Comment has been added which is a pure facebook comment box. This will show facebook comment thread for the page where you have placed the widget. If you use this view then comment will be post to facebook but not in forum. Flat, Thread view of Comment widget also has been modified to support comment using facebook account. In this case you will find a checkbox in the publication which will ask whether you want to post your comment in facebook or not. You need an application in facebook for that. Required configuration steps for this is as follows -

  • Create a facebook application from https://developers.facebook.com/apps

  • Specify your site url and domain name correctly in the facebook application configuration. Note down the application ID.

  • Add this application ID in the section parameter of corresponding publication. The application ID must be mapped against facebook.app.id name
