Facebook comments moderation with appid and facebook page

Post by batfastad »

Hi everyone

I'm looking to add Facebook comments to certain pages of our website.
I understand that I can do this by just generating the code for each page I want comments on by using the generator here... http://developers.facebook.com/docs/ref ... /comments/

But to enable moderation of comments I think I need to do either of these in the head section of my site:

Code: Select all

<meta property="fb:admins" content="{YOUR_FACEBOOK_USER_ID}"/>  
<meta property="fb:app_id" content="{YOUR_APPLICATION_ID}">`
And also add some namespaces to the <html> tag.

The application ID seems better than user ID for moderating a large number of comment pages.
At the moment I have a Facebook "Page" with 1,000 or so "Likes". I don't have a Facebook application.

So here's my questions:

Do I need to create a Facebook Application in addition to my Page?
Or do I use the Facebook Page ID instead of the App ID?
Does the name of the Application need to match that of my Facebook Page?
Is any link created between the Facebook Application and the Page?
Or is the Application purely for internal purposes and not accessible by users?

I don't want this to be Javascript. Iframes seems like a better solution so the comments load asymmetrically. JS can block the page load.

Cheers, B
