CGFBapp error:The comments plugin requires an href parameter

cnymike · **Posted:** Wed Oct 05, 2011 5:26 pm

I have installed the CGFBapp module v1.0.3 and it is a welcome addition to my site (CMSMS v1.9.4.3) as it easily allows FB integration, particularly the Like features. However I am having an error when I insert the comments plugin.

Specifically I am inserting the following into my template.

Code:

{cgfb_init}{cgfb_comments}

When the page is viewed I get the error "The comments plugin requires an href parameter."

I have viewed the help page for the plugin and the documentation states:

Quote:

The next most common way to add facebook integration into your site is to allow visitors to enter comments. You can do this by adding the {cgfb_init}{cgfb_comments} tag into your page template.

The documentation does not mention anything about an href parameter for the comments plugin.

Therefore I am confused as how to gain this functionality.

Elsewhere on the page I have inserted the Like plugin and it is working splendidly.

I have the same problem

this is what it says to do

The simplest way to add facebook integration into your site is just to add {cgfb_init}{cgfb_like} into the page template of your site. Now any page that uses this page template will have a facebook "Like" button attached to it. You do not need to create a facebook application to use this function.

The next most common way to add facebook integration into your site is to allow visitors to enter comments. You can do this by adding the {cgfb_init}{cgfb_comments} tag into your page template.

Hey cnymike,

Let me know what you have done so far and I will help you
I have it working now

I have not done much other than dropping in the comment module and getting the resulting error.

{cgfb_init}{cgfb_comments}

"The comments plugin requires an href parameter."

I don't understand what or where the HREF Parameter that is mentioned in the error is supported to go.

Hi DADOCTOR,

Can you share the {cgfb_comments} href magic with us?? I only imported the app yesterday... and already I'm driven nuts figuring it out!

I've tried listing all the options (...of which href is not actually listed as an option!)... but it makes no difference. Can only be a syntax error on my part, but any light you can shed on it would be MUCH appreciated.

Many thanks,

Sonovox.

Facebook has just changed the parameters again

it seems like everyone now has a error showing under their comments box.

it says this,

Code:

Warning: this comments plugin is operating in compatibility mode, but has no posts yet. Consider specifying an explicit 'href' as suggested in the comments plugin documentation to take advantage of all plugin features.

I am now trying to work this out.

It would be great if the creator of this add on could help us out?

I will post update if I have a fix

It's not allowed to post code modifications. I'm not sure if I gave the solution in the bug report. Please have a look. If it's not in the bug report, send me a pm.

Gregor, it would help me and others if you could post your fix along with an explanation of how it works. Thanks in advance.
