[Plugin: WPBook Lite] Comments not importing

Hmm. Not sure what’s happening here.

These two lines are the critical ones, repeated in couple of places in the debug output:

2012-01-08 12:29:05 : FBcommentslist is 1
2012-01-08 12:29:05 : Number of comments for this post- 0

The first line comes from line 201 of wpbook_lite_cron.php, where the results of an FQL query using the Facebook API are retrieved and assigned to an array, which is meant to be printed out to the debug file but instead we just get “1.”

The second line comes from line 210 of the same file, where the count of comments in that array is output.

So somehow WPBook Lite is getting a response it doesn’t properly interpret from the FB API.

Will be looking into this

@gnaschenweng are you comfortable changing php files?

If you could change line 201 of wpbook_lite_cron.php from:

$debug_string=date("Y-m-d H:i:s",time())." : FBcommentslist is ". print_r($fbcommentslist) . "\n";


To:

$debug_string=date("Y-m-d H:i:s",time())." : FBcommentslist is ". print_r($fbcommentslist,true) . "\n";


That should help us get better data back into the debug file from the FQL query

Hi there – after some time I did notice a few comments coming in and I think the problem is resolved.

One question though: I am using Disqus and although the FB comments are displayed in the WP commenting system, they don’t seem to import/sync into Disqus. Does WPBook_Lite do anything different to regular comments causing this?

@gnaschenweng – glad to hear some comments did make it in.

Not sure how DISQUS integrates – but WPBook Lite saves comments directly into the WP Database – depending on where/how DISQUS is hooking the comments system that could be a problem.

Hi,

Same thing here, no comments are importing. Here’s the debug file.

First, I added a new post in wordpress. It was successfully sent in facebook groups. Next, when I put a comment on the post IN facebook, the comments IN facebook are not imported into wordpress. Any help?

Thanks.

Mark

What is the privacy setting for your group?

Looks like it is getting an empty response to the FBSQL query where it tries to find comments on a post.

Can you find the ID of a post you know has comments, and look to see if those are ever mentioned in the log?

How long after you put the comment on the post in Facebook did you look for it in WordPress? Was that debug above created after you commented on the post?

I am very sorry John. It seems to be working now. It just takes too long for it to import the comment.

Last question, if I post to facebook, will it import on wordpress automatically? Or just wordpress to facebook? Same for comments.

Thank you very much John.
