I am trying to adapt the facebook comments system to fit the requirements for our newspaper system. We need the ability to allow a user to report a comment to us and then we will moderate the comment ourselves. We cannot let users run wild and start blocking each others' comments.
I realise that I can get the data I need to build the comments layout from the Graph API. What would I need to do to allow users to add a comment and comment on a comment?
Have you looked here: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/?

My team is considering setting up a MediaWiki wiki to share knowledge and manage information within the team.
Two features the team have expressed an interest in having as part of any new system are:
Access restriction for certain pages/items. Occasionally there may be a need to restrict some members of the team from viewing specific pages, perhaps relating to performance management or interview schedules/results. Does MediaWiki cater for this? I know you can lock pages to make them uneditable, but I'm not so sure you can hide them from being viewed altogether?
Document Expiry. It would be great to have an alert telling you that a page has been untouched for say, 12 months, and as a result may be out of date - flagging it for review or deletion to keep wiki content current. Does MediaWiki have this ability, or is there an extension that enables it?
Cheers for any help you can provide.
Dave.
You do have some access restrictions as outlined in Manual:User_rights, there are also various extensions you can add that may give you more flexibility in this regard.. As far as your Document expiry concern goes, it is possible to create a bot that will patrol your wiki and anything that has not been updated in a set amount of time can have a template pre-pended to it. There are also several bots out there that I am aware of such as MiszaBot (I-III) on Wikipedia that will take any post over a certain age and archive it for you. I hope this helps you figure out if this is the way for you to go.
I am using django comments apps to allow user to submit comments, but there is not any edit form for the comment. Does the comment app support an edit form or do I have to make one of my own.
Any help is appreciated.
I had the same issue, and have written a small portable app which aims to add edit functionality to the comments framework. Please note that it has not been tested, and it may be security issues with it. But you can check it out at github.
This isn't built in to the comment app so it's something you'll have to write yourself. You will need to consider how to confirm that the person requesting to edit a comment actually wrote the comment. This is ok if you are dealing with logged in users but will be difficult for anonymous comments.
This is my first post here, so forgive me for stupid questioning or describing my problem not „the programmer's way“. :-)
I've added Facebook comments to my Wordpress blog. Now, I posted a test comment with another Facebook profile than the one I used to create the app.
Voila, the comment appeared on the Graph API of that site. Worked well.
I deleted the comment, but it seems as it's still visible in the Graph API of the site.
Is there any cache for deleted comments!? How can I fix that?
It's important for me to know, because I think of a contest. Users have to add captions to pictures via the Facebook commentbox.
It doesn't give me any benefit, if comments that have been deleted will remain in the Graph API.
Any solution for it? What else do you need to know what I'm talking about? :-)
Cheers,
Axel
You can't delete comments, that's a bit bad documented. All you can do is hide it from other users. Every fb user that is a friend of the user that posted that 'deleted' comment can see the comment as well as the user himself too (in the actual fb comments box).
Furthermore it will exist forever in the graph api! That's facebooks way of pushing freedom of expression!
Anyway if you delete content it doesn't sound like a fair contest to people, as they might feel objected, also not everyone will have the same chances then. A system where you can properly approve 'comments/captiions' would make way more sense. See Diskus for example.
If you wanna have the facebook comments social advertising boost though you could write all comments from the graph api into a database and then approve them manually. Another way would be just to tell users to subscribe/like your facebook page to see who's winning or to be able to win at all. Good luck
I want to implement a commenting system for some pages by using the build-in commenting framework of Django.
The only addition to the default commenting framework is that other registered users can up/down vote comments (one time allowed indeed), just like Digg or Reddit style.
I have found RedditStyleVoting however it seems out of date and not really covering what I am looking for.
I will be grateful for any suggestion
You could use the django-voting application and allow vote for Comment objects.
I am looking for a blogging and comments system that can smoothly integrate with my Django sites. I've found there is a lot on the Net and got lost a bit, and I don't have much experience on this. Hope you guys can give me some suggestions.
Here are the things that I would like to have:
Tag Clouds
Articles Archive (by months/by years)
Articles Rating (e.g. with Stars or customize icons)
Comments to the particular Topic/Articles
Sub-Comments of a particular comments (i.e. following up comments)
Blogs/Articles Searching
Able to relate other articles that is relevant (i.e. follow up Articles)
Pagination of the comments if get too long
OpenIDs supports (e.g. facebook, hotmail, blogger, twitter...etc)
Support login before user can comments
Able to retrieve Blogs' Header and customized the display order
Able to subscribe this article to RSS
Able to Email this to friends (this may not belongs to the comments system)
If I missed some common functions, please let me know. The comments system I am looking for should do most jobs that those popular comments system should do on the web, e.g. WordPress.
Thank you so much everyone. Have a nice day.
I myself really like django-threadedcomments. It supports threaded commenting like what you would see in Disqus.
i heard django-comment-utils is quite good. - may you test it :)
