The Kingdom of Philtopia

Facebook CommentsTNG:

Facebook CommentsTNG is a plugin for your Wordpress blog that will spider your notes page and find imported Wordpress blogs and bring the comments back into Wordpress. This is a complete rewrite from the original but I did borrow some ideas from it. Kudos to the original authors for their initial effort and for their plugin giving me the motivation to write this one!

Features:

• Will recursively scan through all notes and bring in comments
• Test mode to see what would be imported without risking the database
• Uses simple html dom which means it’ll be easier to fix if Facebook changes
• Limit option to limit how far it goes back
• Timed automatic scanning
• Set what note you want it to start on
• E-mail field for setting a custom e-mail, The default is facebook at philtopia dot com which has a Gravatar set up with a Facebook picture
• Plugin can crawl your notes despite language set
• Plugin can get accurate post time from Facebook
• Auto approval of comments (make sure the plugin works for you before you turn this on)
• Option to link to generic facebook.com or directly to the profile of the commenter

Issues:

• Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR happens when you use PHP 4. You need PHP 5
• Still seem to have issues with the UTF8 … character in a Post title

Working on for next version:

• Ideas welcome
