Development on a Shoestring

FriendFeed Comments WordPress Plugin

This plugin will allow you to display on your own site the comments that people make on FriendFeed about your post.  I keep trying to think of a more succinct way of writing that but I can’t.  It always sounds more confusing than it is.

Here’s the deal.  FriendFeed aggregates your online life (but isn’t lifestreaming), and one of the things it can aggregate is your blog.   People can then comment on this

I’m using their PHP library to allow you to pull back these comments, when they’re made on a blog post of yours, so you can display them on your site.

The plugin ads a template tag called <?php wp_ffcomments(); ?>, which you can drop onto your template somewhere inside "the loop" so it can access the post’s details to match it up with the FriendFeed data.

Unzip the plugin into your plugins folder & activate it.  You’ll then need to go into the options (or settings if you’re running WP2.5) and click on FriendFeed.  Put your FriendFeed nickname in & save and you’re done with the setup.  All the other settings in there are optional. You then need to place <?php wp_ffcomments(); ?> on your template file(s).

One current limitation is that it matches posts based on title, so if you have multiple posts with the same name, you’re going to have issues.  I’m trying to find something else to match on, but it’s difficult because for many people who use FeedBurner the URL that FriendFeed sees from the RSS feed isn’t what’s available from the blog.  It will work if you import multiple blogs into FriendFeed though, as it matches on the blog’s URL.

I’ve tried my best to highlight that these are comments from FriendFeed, so that people don’t get confused as to where the discussion is coming from.  The comments will be distinct from your standard comments section, with a heading stating that they’re from FriendFeed.  See the image below

 image

By default, the comments & likes are hidden on page load, the reader has to click the ’show’ link next to the headline text.  This can be changed in the plugin’s settings page to make them display by default.

Also, the headline text can be customised to say whatever you want, the tokens {comments} & {likes} will be replaced with the number of comments & likes for that post.

The plugin also adds a form at the bottom of the comments so that people can comment on or ‘like’ your post on FriendFeed directly from your blog.  This can be turned off in the settings if you don’t like it.

There is also a default stylesheet included with the plugin, which will make the output of the plugin look much like the image above, rather than 2 unstyled unordered lists.  This is meant as a starting point, please feel free to takes the styles included and modify them as you need to.  The default stylesheet can be turned off in the settings page if you’re not going to need it included.

I would like to express my thanks to Corvida of SheGeeks, who helped me debug this plugin & to the FriendFeed team for being awesome enough to open their data up like this.

  • How much do I need to pay to get a plug-in for Blogger as well? :-)
  • That would be a bit more difficult, it would need to be done as a widget, but the actual content would have to be hosted somewhere else. A neat little javascript solution by the FF guys would be awesome here
  • I agree! I'm using Tumblr for my blog so a nice bit of HTML'ing would be right up my alley :¬D

    I really like what Glenn has done for his plugin, really slick.
  • Glenn,

    Awesome work! Once I noticed the code to add to the loop, I got it working at http://blog.fosketts.net too. I'll report any bugs!

  • Hi Glenn,

    I've got this installed on a WP2.5 blog (http://colinwalker.me.uk) but for some reason it doesn't look like the template tag is being triggered on every post. Some of them have the FF section but others don't, even when there are likes and comments.

    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Thanks.
  • Hi Colin, there seems to be a problem with posts with single quote marks in the title. FF is representing them as a different character to what is on your blog, so the plugin isn't matching them. I've updated the development version of the plugin to try & fix this, you can get it here: http://svn.wp-plugins.org/friendfeed-comments/t... . Just replace friendfeed-comments.php file in the plugin folder with that, then go to the plugin's settings page & click the "Reset comments/likes" button to force it to reload the comments.
  • Thanks Glenn but still no dice I'm afraid. Checking the debug info it definitely pulls the info from FF for those posts but will still not display the DIV so is it an issue when it checks what it should be displaying rather than the check on FF?
  • It's failing in matching the posts with their FF entries. I'll try a few
    tests here & get back to you, sorry for the hassle
  • Thanks, I appreciate it. Do you want me to send the debug info?
  • that would be helpful, thanks - gdalziel at gmail dot com
  • OK, I've started a blog from scratch. I've installed WordPress 2.7.1 and activated plugins: Akismet, FeedBurner FeedSmith, FriendFeed Comments, MediaRSS and WP SUP. I've entered my FF nickname and have the following settings ticked: Use default stylesheet, enable comments & likes form, show comments by default, FF servicename = blog, include Prototype Javascript Library. I've added <?php wp_ffcomments(); ?> into the "loop" on single_post.php.

    My blog post here: http://www.e-lusion.co.uk/2009/02/22/test-from-...
    My FF post is here: http://friendfeed.com/e/7f9fd8c5-1ad7-6610-d98d...

    I've tried changing the servicename to the service ID from FF, I've tried deleting the other comment command from single_post.php, plus many other things. Nothing is working. Why might this plugin not be working?
  • Great work! I'm putting this to use immediately. I'm looking forward to future versions!
  • It seems that plugin works, but it gets confused about the posts if you have more than one similar service in your account.

    I.e. if you have two blogs, plug-in doesn't tell posts from one or the other, thus showing incorrect stats and comments from another post. I guess it's a bug. :)
  • Yes this is a known bug, I'm looking at options to solve this at the moment. Currently it should only be an issue if 2 posts have the same name
  • Umm.. No, I am sure my posts didn't have same names, but still plugin displayed comments from newer post from a different blog.

    Glenn, how does post binding works? How does plugin know which post to request from FF? It isn't blog post permalink, is it?
  • Well, that's a bit odd. Can you post a link showing this happening, I might be able to get a better idea why.

    Also, I've just checked in an update to the plugin that checks that the service url from FriendFeed is the same as the blog url. I haven't released the update yet, but you can grab the file from here is you want: http://svn.wp-plugins.org/friendfeed-comments/t...

    I've added a 'reset' button on the plugin's admin page. This will let you clear out all the information it's stored & reload it all from FriendFeed. Hopefully this should fix this bug.
  • Nope, new version and reset didn't help. And I suppose I know what's the problem... I previously didn't account for one more thing: my blog has RSS served via Feedburner, and Feedburner alters permalinks for statistic purposes. That's where things get hairy.

    Plugin does have a permalink but doesn't have any idea about what is the feedburner link for the post is.

    Take a look:

    - Here is the original post: http://urbansheep.ru/2008/03/arrogance-is-a-wea...
    - Plugin pulls "likes" from the following post: http://www.friendfeed.com/e/8537dda8-f948-02be-...
    - While it should request stuff from this one: http://friendfeed.com/e/e2ed2f5c-4be3-416c-f0fc...

    Unless there's a way for plugin to first ping feedburner for a link, and then pull data from friendfeed, it seems quite difficult to resolve.
  • Ok, I think I know what the problem is, the cyrillic is freaking out my
    script!

    I'm normalising the title of each post by removing non-alphanumeric
    characters, of course being the anglo-centric bigot that I am, I'm just
    removing non-latin alpha characters. I've checked in an update that doesn't
    do that, can you try again? Sorry for the hassle

    Glenn
  • :)
    No problem, I am happy to test if it helps us to get a neat solution for collecting all the feedback into a single place.

    Replaced, but still no luck — it seems that call to wp_ffcomments() doesn't do anything at all now, no output. What am I doing wrong? :)
  • Did you do the reset this time?
  • Yep, twice.
  • OK, one more go, I've checked in a heap of tidy up changes & fixes along with some serious debug information.

    If this doesn't work, please tick the 'show debug info' checkbox in the options page & click the reset button & send what it shows you to me. Hopefully that will give me enough details to see what's going on

    cheers
  • I sent debug data your way via contact form.

    Just in case the letter doesn't get through, here goes part with my 0.02 about what might be going wrong:

    I found out that when feed is requested, it contains no reference of posts from the blog in question — they have been pushed down by newer posts. After looking at the API, I dare to suppose that polling last 60 items might be not enough to keep up with some feeds (especially for users with twitter hyperactivity disorder). Other possible choices are using search (checking for title and then filtering results by link/domain name) or asking friendfeed to implement domain filter (so that we can request not just all "blog" service stuff, but rather "blog.slaven.net.au" stuff only).
  • 1. Does it work with WP2.5?
    2. Do we have any examples yet?
    3. Will it work with Disqus?
  • 1. Yes, this site is running 2.5
    2. Yep, see this post for a post with a large number of comments: http://blog.slaven.net.au/archives/2008/03/27/f...
    3. Not really. It won't interfere with it, as you can see on this site, but it doesn't integrate. I was thinking about doing that, with the disqus API, but I thought it would get really confusing because there would be 2 locations the comments would come from, and there would be con context for a comment
  • I had both FFComments and Disqus running together for a while, but now I can't get FFComments to show up. Is that something to do with Disqus's new version? I happened to also redesign my site about the same time as the new Disqus plugin came out, so I'm not sure exactly what the culprit is.
  • I don't know why it's not working for me, though.

    Here's a post where a FriendFeed comment should show:
    http://nathanr.ca/news/torontos-cn-tower-wows-v...

    >:(
  • I've added it to my plugins, activated it, changed my FF nickname to Pinksy, kept the other thingy as "blog", and added <?php wp_ffcomments(); ?> inside the loop on my single.php template file, added a test comment (http://friendfeed.com/e/15c7da39-d9ed-33b5-2787...), but nothing comes up (http://www.pinksy.co.uk/index.php/2008/04/18/5h...). Am I doing something wrong?

    Brilliant work though...

    Cheers
  • If you put the comment on the post after you setup the plugin you'll need to wait an hour. It polls FriendFeed every hour for new comments/likes. If you want it to update now, go back into the admin page & click save. That forces an update.
  • Thanks dalziel. I got it to work in the end, but I'm not sure how. Could the FF nickname be case sensitive? I originally had it as "Pinksy", but then changed it to "pinksy", and now it works.

    Does it link on the URL of the post? I was just wondering what should happen if you wanted to test it locally. I'm running my site locally via xampp, but the plugin doesn't seem to find the post on FF when I do it that way, as if it links on the real URL.
  • I like this plugin so much I added it to the big loop in WP.. I <3 FriendFeed stats!
  • Hi Glenn,

    This is really great but I fear that I am one of the many that feed my RSS to feedburner before it gets to feedburner. If I'm reading your post correctly, this plug-in doesn't work correctly if you use feedburner?

    Ian
  • Nope, it works fine, I use feedburner here, it will just have an issue if your posts on your blog have the same title. It uses the title to uniquely identify a post, so it needs unique titles for each post
  • claudia
    I see this plugin in sevreal super cool blogs. I want to have it in my sidebar. I followed all the instructions, have the last update from wp and the plugin, but it is not displaying anything. It connects, loads posts, but there is nothing displayed. On the debbugging mode it says

    30 entries loaded from FriendFeed
    0 entries loaded, 1 total entries stored.
    And it does have all the entries.

    Do you know what might be the problem?
    txs!
    Claudia
  • Claudia, the plugin did need to sit inside 'the loop' ( http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop ), but I've just checked in an update that will allow you to put it in the sidebar (it will only work on single post pages)
    http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/friendfee...

    cheers
  • Great plugin, but it is causing display issues on my site. Thinking it is conflicting with Lightbox, let me know when you have an update available. Thanks!
  • Could you give me a bit more information about what's happening please?
    Perhaps a link to where it's happening?

    cheers

    2008/5/26 Disqus <>:
  • I have re-enabled the plugin on my blog, so if you head over to: http://blog.jacobburke.com and take a look, then you will see what is happening. I am getting a large black box at the top of the page and at the bottom I am seeing the lightbox overlay in a loading state.

    Thanks!
  • Jacob, which lightbox plugin are you using there?
  • I am using Lightbox 2.04, here is the link: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/lightbox-2-...
  • I seem to have found the problem. I included that plugin on my site & the
    same problem occured. Basically the lightbox plugin is explicitly including
    a version of prototype, rather than using the buillt-in wordpress function
    for including it. So it's being included twice, which is causing the error

    I edited the lightbox.php file for the plugin to use the bult-in method & it
    seems to work. If you go here:
    http://blog.slaven.net.au/archives/2008/04/30/t... and
    click on the image in the post the lightbox should come up.

    I can send you the updated code for the lightbox plugin if you like

    2008/5/26 Disqus <>:
  • There does not seem to be an image in that post for me to test lightbox. I am very interested in the updated code. Thanks!
  • I used your plugin hack for Lightbox and everything is working smoothly now. Thanks again for your help on getting the plugin setup. Cheers!
  • I have stumbled upon one more issue, the comments are only showing on certain posts, yet I have the code in place on the template. Any reason as to why this is happening?
  • http://blog.jacobburke.com/2008/05/whats-separa...
    http://blog.jacobburke.com/2008/05/metoday-may-...
    The posts had their titles changed after FriendFeed picked it up, hence the loss. This is an unfortunate side-effect of using the titles as an identifier, but unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any other option at this point
  • Thanks Glenn, I appreciate the information and the quick response. Cheers.
  • I have disabled the plugin again, since I was getting messages about the display issues on my blog. I have uploaded a screenshot of what the display is with the plugin enabled: http://flickr.com/photos/jacob_burke/2523084663/

    Thanks!
  • Thanks! This plugin will come in handy!
  • Hey Glenn, I'm getting this error on my posts:

    Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home2/shey/public_html/wp-content/plugins/friendfeed-comments/friendfeed-comments.php on line 356

    You can see it on my site http://www.sheysmith.com/

    Is the fix for the single quote in titles included in 1.5.3? I noticed some of my posts don't have the FriendFeed comments section coming up.
  • Yeah it should be, what version of the plugin are you running currently?
  • 1.5.3
  • Shey, I've checked in an update to version 1.5.5 that will hopefully fix your problem http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/friendfee...
  • Thanks Glenn!

    The error is gone but I still don't see any info post. Here's the debug error I got from the admin options:

    90 entries loaded from FriendFeed

    FriendFeed Is The Signal - FriendFeed+Is+The+Signal


    Fatal error: Cannot use string offset as an array in /home2/shey/public_html/wp-content/plugins/friendfeed-comments/friendfeed-comments.php on line 193
  • Problem fixed! Thanks Glenn!
  • Ben
    Anyone have any luck making this work with the Mimbo theme?
  • First off, thanks for a great plugin. I seem to be having an issue with it not properly displaying likes. Here are 2 examples that I verified loaded when in debug:

    Example 1

    Blog Page:
    http://lifestreamblog.com/unique-custom-lifestr...
    FriendFeed Page:
    http://friendfeed.com/e/7ddf2d4f-5d94-053a-4913...

    Example 2

    Blog Page:
    http://lifestreamblog.com/how-to-find-local-twi...
    FriendFeed Page:
    http://friendfeed.com/e/23290cb3-fcff-58f2-1c11...

    Also, I have several services added as a blog on FF & I left the setting for "FriendFeed Servicename" as "blog".
  • Mark I've just updated the plugin to allow you to manually link up the FriendFeed items with your posts if the plugin is failing to do it automatically. See http://blog.slaven.net.au/archives/2008/06/02/o... for details, the update is available now from the WordPress plugin site.

    cheers
  • Thanks Glenn, I upgraded and the manual linkage works.
  • Thanks for the plugin, Glenn.

    I did encounter one problem, in render_comment() in friendfeed-comments.php, though. The date() function doesn't like the formatting of $comment->date and is causing all comments to display December 31, 1969. Adding the following line before $time is set fixes the problem.

    $comment->date = strtotime(str_replace('T', ' ', $comment->date));
  • That's odd because the FriendFeed API is supposed to be returning a
    timestamp (see ~ line 238 in the friendfeed.php file) have you got a
    different version of that file included somewhere else on your site?

    2008/6/2 Disqus <>:
  • I see in the code where that's supposed to be happening. All I know is that when it's time to render the comment, $comment->date is in ISO 8601.
  • That's really wierd, I've never seen that before. Can you send me the debug
    info when you click save on the settings page? gdalziel at gmail.com I'll
    see if it's something dodgy in my code

    2008/6/2 Disqus <>:
  • Sent.
  • I'm seeing this too Glen, is it a firendfeed problem?
  • I can't get it working on WP 2.5.1 ,.. no matter what I try :( does look promising though.
  • John could you give me a link back to your site & a few more details about what's going wrong?
  • Also having the same issue on 2.5.1, nothing appears to be happening when it is installed, activated, username put in, and tag placed in single.php.

    Will leave it activated on my blog. http://blog.oflaherty.dk

    Actuall, this post I know has FF comments : http://blog.oflaherty.dk/2008/06/10/is-blogging...

    Thanks, am looking forward to getting this working :)
  • Had to make a couple of hacks, as prototype seems to conflict with Mootools, used by my blog template. Not your problem!

    Great work - blog now displaying comments from FriendFeed, which keeps everything together on the blog.

    For example : http://4tm-services.com/2008/06/26/oh-wow-analy...

    Thanks.
  • Great to hear David, thanks.

    I've also found it conflicts with JQuery. I'd really appreciate it if you could send me the changes you had to make for it to work with Mootools, I' m looking to let the user pick between the 3 in a future version, hopefully remove these problems!

    cheers
  • sbspalding
    Hey Glenn, I'm having a bit of an issue with the plugin. I installed it, updated it and put the template tag into the loop on the single.php and nothing at all has shown up on any of my posts. I waited an hour just in case it had something to do with caching, but still nothing. I tried debug, and it looks like it's importing properly but I am not sure why the widget doesn't appear at all.

    The site is http://www.howtosplitanatom.com, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
  • Hey steve, the problem is that on friendfeed the blog has a www. in front of the url, where as on your site it doesn't, so the plugin doesn't know it's the same site. If you drop the www from the url on friendfeed it should fix it.
    cheers
  • sbspalding
    Thanks Glenn!
  • sbspalding
    Just made the changes, still no good unfortunately. :(
  • Sorry, I should have mentioned you need to click the 'Reset comments/likes' in the settings page to clear out the old info.
  • sbspalding
    Done and done, still nothing unfortunately. Even if it wasn't loading
    likes/comments shouldn't the widget appear somewhere?
  • No, until it loads comments, it doesn't display anything. If you go into the settings & tick the show debug box down the bottom then click reset again, it should dump a lot of text to screen. If you could copy that & send it to me I should be able to see what's going on.
    gdalziel at gmail dot com
  • Hi, I've just checked in an update which may help, you can grab it from here: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/friendfee...

    You'll need to click the 'reset comments/likes' button again after installing the update, this new version treats http://foo.com/ & http://www.foo.com/ as the same domain, so hopefully this should sort it out.
  • sbspalding
    Worked like a charm, thanks Glenn!
  • Nice work, goin on the new site.
  • Cool, what's the new site?
  • Fantastic!
  • inet
    Just wanted to make aware that if anyone is interested in the friendfeed rooms sidebar plugin then to download it here:

    http://rapidfireblog.com/2008/06/09/friendfeed-...
  • I am trying to install but am getting

    Error: Unable to retrieve content from FriendFeed. The API may be down or there may be connectivity problems

    Is anyone having issues with the FF api...?
  • Exactly where does the <?php wp_ffcomments(); ?> tag go?
  • Paul. it generally goes on the single.php template. It doesn't really matter where, it should work where ever you put it
  • Ok fixed the api issue (case sensitive bah!!) . Still don't think I have things right though

    page.php loop now looks like

    <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
    <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

    <?php the_content(__('[Read more]'));?>

    <?php wp_ffcomments(); ?>

    <?php endwhile; else: ?>


    <?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>

    <?php endif; ?>


    But no comments seem to be filling the comment boxes (I have that set as the default)... have I got it in the right place? Ideas?
  • What version of the plugin are you running?
  • Anyone experienced this plugin getting trumped by using Disqus comments? I installed 1.6.4 on my blog, but the one "like" and comment from FriendFeed isn't appearing on it: http://davidchartier.com/blog/2008/07/05/book-o...

    I've tried disabling the Prototype javascript, but still not seeing anything.
  • Never mind, my bad. I wasn't adding your plugin's tag to single.php. Got it fixed.
  • Great,I really need this Plugin,thank you very much!
  • I would really love to get this plugin going but I cannot seem to make it work. Are there any suggestions about why this may not be working ?

    I posted the loop below, is that constructed correctly?
    I can see the tabs in the edit section of each post and manually put the post title in.
    The debugger shows it is pulling information from friendfeed (see below) but nothing is getting updated in the comments section (hence my loop question)

  • That's kind of odd seeing as the activate hook is what installs the table. What version of the plugin have you got?
  • Latest one from the download section... could the template I am using interfere with it? (using revolution media pro)
  • It's possible. Easiest way to check that is to put the plugin's tag into the default template and switch back to the default template for a second & see if it displays
  • Hey awesome work with this plugin!
    Hey awesome work with this plugin!

    Looks fantastic, so simple to set up and so far... seems to work fine =P

    Out of curiosity, is it possible to do this kind of thing with other services? For example having a similar plugin for Stumbleupon reviews, or Digg comments, or even Plurk responses =)
  • i'm using the OpenBook 2.2 theme and for some reason it's not compatible with the friendfeed plugin. When I add the friendfeed plugin to it, the rotating graphic in the center of the page gets all messed up. In FF3 it quits scrolling and on IE8 it just spills out down the page.

    I'm using wordpress 2.6B3.
  • I'm afraid it's mootools that's conflicting. I've just checked in an update to make the plugin play nice with Jquery (i'm using prototype), mootools is next on my list. Sorry, I really wish these libraries all kept off each others toes. It makes this kind of stuff difficult!
  • Ohhhh, ok. That makes sense. Thanks for the reply. I appreciate it. I'll just wait until the next update for the plugin comes out and then use that one.
  • when I try to activate this, I get an error relating to a table not existing. here are the errors:

  • Could you try deleting all the files, then grabbing the latest version here: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/friendfee... & installing that version. Seems it's not creating the cache table on install
  • Great plugin! However, I use the xmlrpc to post from an outside client and it causes a conflict that makes it impossible to post or edit from the outside client.
  • What happens? It shouldn't be doing that, since I use Windows Live Writer to post to my site with no issues. What's the error you're seeing?
  • I am currently using Semagic to post with since it's compatible with Livejournal as well.
    The error that it returns is "Error parsing response XML" - It actually does push the post through.
    Trying to poll the history for editing shows the same error as well.
  • And this error goes away when you disable the FriendFeed plugin?
  • Yep, every time. I tried disabling everything but that one and it still did it.
  • How very odd. Ok, I'm downloading semagic now, I'll keep you posted
  • It is odd. I thought I was insane myself, but I tried it on two sites just to be sure before commenting.
  • Ok, I've been testing this app on every blog I can & I get the "Error parsing response XML" message on every one, whether it's got the FF plugin installed or not. I disabled & deleted the plugin completely & I still got the error message.

    I cracked out Fiddler which inspects tcp/ip traffic & had a look at what the server is sending back & it looks fine, the XML is all well-formed.

    Using the ATOM format rather than the MetaWeblogAPI on the server settings, I can log in but I can't then post, gives me a "Empty post URL" error. However I may be doing something wrong, I'm not familiar with the application.

    I'm afraid I can't replicate the problem, or rather, I can't make the problem go away when I remove the FriendFeed plugin. Were you using the MetaWeblog API on the server settings form?
  • Strange. Semagic is an odd application, I'm starting to think. I was fiddling around this morning with it and it worked without the any error.

    I do use MetaWeblog on the server settings.
  • There is a problem with your plugin for my wordpress install, where the blog is at the domain root but the installation itself lives in /wp/. I suspect a confusion between blogurl and home. See http://wordpress.org/support/topic/188185?repli... -- and thanks if you can fix it, it's a showstopper for me!
  • Hi!

    When I save my 'Friendfeed comments' settings I get this message:
    PHP Warning: assert() [function.assert]: Assertion failed in D:\Inetpub\vhosts\andreavascellari_com\blog\wp-content\plugins\friendfeed-comments\friendfeed.php on line 18 PHP Fatal error: Call to undefined function curl_init() in D:\Inetpub\vhosts\andreavascellari_com\blog\wp-content\plugins\friendfeed-comments\friendfeed.php on line 258

    And at the bottom of each single post-page this other message:
    PHP Warning: assert() [function.assert]: Assertion failed in D:\Inetpub\vhosts\andreavascellari_com\blog\wp-content\plugins\friendfeed-comments\friendfeed.php on line 18 WordPress database error Table 'ablog2.wp_friendfeedcomments' doesn't exist for query SELECT * FROM wp_friendfeedcomments WHERE post_id = 439 made by get_discussion_for_post WordPress database error Table 'ablog2.wp_friendfeedcomments' doesn't exist for query SELECT * FROM wp_friendfeedcomments WHERE key_val = '7c232035a3c5f9fd2673c1c5edcb98f8' made by get_discussion_for_post

    Any idea/suggestion?

    Thanks,

    Andrea
  • Any idea / suggestion? Please!
  • Andrea, you may need to check with your hosting provider as to whether
    curl is installed on your server, it's a PHP module & it's needed for
    the plugin to work
  • Hey Glenn -- having issues with the plugin on my blog after I upgraded to WP 2.6, can you take a look?

    http://www.sheysmith.com

    Thanks!
  • Shey, it looks like the default stylesheet has dissapeared:

    http://www.sheysmith.com/wp-content/plugins/fri...

    Can you check whether that file is still in the plugin's folder?
  • Yes, the file is there -- I deleted the plugin and re-installed and it still doesn`t work. I can put the CSS into my main stylesheet, but that doesn`t solve the hide button not working.
  • Shey, you haven't happened to move your plugins folder in the upgrade have you. I know that in 2.6 you can move the plugins folder somewhere other than /wp-content/plugins/ The http://www.sheysmith.com/wp-content/plugins/ folder is giving me a 404 not found error. You could try downloading my new dev version here: http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/friendfee... In that I'm using some new 2.6 features to locate the plugins folder
  • Thanks Glenn, the updated plugin didn't work, but I fooled around with some .htaccess files and go it to work!

    Thanks for all the help!
  • I'm constantly getting this error:

    Error: Unable to retrieve content from FriendFeed. The API may be down or there may be connectivity problems

    Any ideas?
  • Zee
    Hi Glenn, sorry to bother you - I can see you've been swamped with support requests already. When you have a moment, can you tell me why the plugin doesn't seem to work correct at my blog www.proproductivity.com .

    Firstly, although it links up correctly to the right post on frienfeed - I don't seem to see the comments from friendfeed appear on my blog & vice-versa (when I make a comment on my blog, it doesn't seem to appear on friendfeed) . Here's an example http://www.proproductivity.com/2008/how-to-tie-... and the post on friendfeed is here: http://friendfeed.com/e/8979f441-7738-525a-f5d8... .

    Hope you can be of some help. Thank you
  • How i can show normal comments and Friendfeed comments together like at RWW?
  • Yes, that looks ideal. How did they do that?
  • Sat
    Works like a dream. Would it be possible to add the FF likes/comments info on the post summary in wordpress (much like it says how many normal comments are in the post)?
  • Nice plugin but when I used it the first time it looks... wrong. Than I used firebug on it and found out, that the pathes where wrong, because I have my WP in a subdirectory. I looked into friendfeed-comments.php and changed "get_option('home')" to "get_option('siteurl')" (around line 47) and this did the trick.

    As I said, nice plugin :)
  • Getting this error when I try to activate - any clues? TIA!

    WordPress database error You have an error in your SQL syntax.

  • Is there anyway to create an option to pull the feed also like say the first 5 feeds instead of the comments.
  • This plugin sounds great but I've downloaded the file above and copied the files into my plugins folder, I've been able to activate it but when I go to the Settings page (WP 2.6.1) all I have is:

    "Options

    Your FriendFeed Items (with table below this)"

    The items below are hiding and I cannot seem to unhide them:

    "Your FriendFeed Nickname
    Your FriendFeed Remote Key
    Send comments that made by blog's author to FriendFeed"

    Options is hyperlinked by the link appears to only be javascript:;.

    Any suggestions? I've tried downloading/installing again and also in Firefox, Chrome and IE and doesn't work in any. :-(
  • Kol, could you send me the link to your site & I'll have a look
  • My site is here: http://www.squashyfrog.com/. Then click on Blog. What will you be able to see form here anyway? Thanks, Glen!
  • Well I can see that there's a wp_friendfeed_comments script on your site.
    That's not part of my plugin, I think you have this plugin installed:
    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wordpress-f... , the
    author's site is here: http://www.gurkanoluc.com/friendfeed-comments
    cheers
    Glenn
  • I've deactivated the other FF plugin but the Options page is still the same. Any ideas?
  • Col, that doesn't sound like the options page for my plugin at all, could
    you send me a screenshot to gdalziel at gmail dot com? I'll see ehat I can
    do
  • I've re-tried this from scratch. So I have the right options screen. But now I have to add <?php wp_ffcomments(); ?> but wherever I put it nothing appears on my post e.g. http://www.squashyfrog.com/2009/02/20/dark-and-.... I've turned off the Disqus plugin but that hasn't helped. I do, however get the FF Comments post box on my published entries but the articles in the dropdowns seem to be diggs only. Does you plugin work with Disqus and where does the dropdown menu items come from?
  • Ignore, I've got it working up to a point, The only issue I have now is that I cannot post from the blog article. I enter my FF username and key, type in a post, press the add button but after the page refreshes nothing appears to have changed, Test post here: http://www.e-lusion.co.uk/2009/03/04/test-1/ and on FF here: http://friendfeed.com/e/07f231d6-6732-ce5a-f2ef...
  • Hi Glenn, I saw this cool plugin on Steve Hodson's and Shey's blogs; very impressive! Do you have similar plugins for Typepad and Blogger by any chance? Pretty please :-)
  • Hi Sally, sorry I don't but Pat Hawks has written one:
    http://www.pathawks.com/2008/06/friendfeed-comm... works on
    blogger, I don't know about typepad, but it's just javascript so it will
    probably work there too
  • Geoff
    Love this plugin!

    Request - Same plugin for Flickr!! I'd love to take in my comments and Favs from there as well!!! Even if I had to title my photos with the same name as the blog post!!
  • There is a Flickr Comments plugin, Geoff. But I've not got it to work. It wants you activity RSS feed and the plugin keeps telling me the URL I enter is not an RSS feed (when it is). :-(
  • Hi Glenn, I've decided to use your plugin as I keep seeing it on loads of blogs I read and it's really useful!

    However, I've added it to my template but nothing appears on the posts. I thought this may be a feature of the plugin that it doesn't show anything until there is a like or a comment, but I created a test comment and there is still nothing showing up on my post page. Example:
    http://philipjohn.co.uk/blog/yahoos-delicious-f... (FF should appear after Disqus)
    http://friendfeed.com/e/fb6dd544-7373-5e0d-718d...

    When I refresh the comments/likes the debug message shows:
    Loading FriendFeed Data
    17 entries loaded from FriendFeed
    0 entries loaded, 0 total entries stored.

    Any ideas?
  • Hi Thanks for this plugin. I would like to use it on mu wordpress. Obviously it will not work because the templates are shared in mu wordpress.
  • Jon Daley
    What is the copyright for the plugin? I see on WP's site that they say all plugins hosted on their site must be GPL compatible, but I don't see the GPL string in your code, just simply "Copyright 2008 Glenn Slaven". Should I assume that it is GPL since it is WP's site? Or was it inadvertently uploaded to WP?
  • Ha! I didn't even notice that. I'm sure I had the GPL on there at some
    point. Just assume it is GPL until I get the code updated with it. Thanks
    for pointing that out
  • Hey thanks for the tip off!1 I am going to try and get this implemented into my site http://www.ozbootcamp.com .

    New to blogging but this should help me get into it.
  • Glenn,

    I have been using your plugin for awhile now, but for some reason 1.6.4 doesn't seem to be working for me. I did some debugging in friendfeed-comments.php. It seems that the get_discussion_for_post function is not finding the discussions for my post, even though I am sure that it is in the database. If I am correct, the way that the discussion is retrieved is by matching the hash of the post title created by the format_title method with the key_val in the database. For some reason though, the key_val and $key do not seem to be matching. This is on my family blog at http://fedibblety.com/house. It does seem to be working fine on my personal blog at http://blog.robfelty.com . I have one hunch on what might be wrong. I use some html tags in many of the titles on my fedibblety blog. Could that be the problem? Maybe it would be better to pass the post_name to format_title instead of post_title?

    Thanks again for your great plugin.

    Rob
  • I like this plug-in It can help build up a buzz

    Its a social plug-in
  • Hi! I've installed the plugin on my blog (WP 2.7 with threaded comments) and it works fine, but it leaves so many space between the hide/show row and the FF comments. It's possible to understand why?
  • This plug-in works great.

    It could be nice to have a function to display only the numbers of comments and likes in the first page. I mean: read the comments in the single page where comments are displayed, but announce them in other blog parts
  • Hi - I just installed this at http://www.lisjobs.com/blog -- it seems to be working great for the first few posts, but then doesn't appear once you go back. For instance on Yes We Have no Bananas (11 March) it shows FriendFeed comments great. On the older Shuffling back from Buffalo (11 Feb), it doesn't even show the FriendFeed comments box (and this post has a number of comments in FF). Any suggestions? Thanks for the great plugin!
  • Oh, I also installed it on http://www.mashupmom.com and am having the same issue -- displays on first few posts but not older ones. Both blogs port into my FF.
  • mobileworld
    seems like good plugin will definitely try it
  • Hi at all,

    one question: FriendFeed Comments work on page (page.php)?
  • Hi at all,

    one question: FriendFeed Comments work on page (page.php)?
  • Thanks for the plugin, very cool!
    A patch for line 136: for differences when the blog has no path but a / declared in friendfeed (that was my case:-)

    if (
    ($post->comments || $post->likes)
    && ($blog_url['host'] == $post_url['host'])
    && (
    ($blog_url['path'] == $post_url['path'])
    || (!$blog_url['path'] && ($post_url['path'] == '/'))
    || (!$post_url['path'] && ($blog_url['path'] == '/'))
    )
    )
  • Thanks Patrick, I've added that into the latest version, I've got a few
    things to put but, so version 1.4 should be out in the next few days
  • I'll try this plugin again when version 1.4 comes out. For now I've given up on getting it working. :-(

    EDTI: LOL that reply was 10 *months* ago, ignore. :-)
