jquery.fb-wall.js

This is an extension of the excellent fb.wall jQuery plugin by Neosmart. For the original, see:

http://www.neosmart.de/social-media/facebook-wall

This extension adds the following plugins:

fbLikes: shows likes for a Facebook object.

fbComments: shows comments for a Facebook object.

To see these two additional plugins in action, visit:

It's rough around the edges at the moment; apologies.

Usage

fbLikes

The following is the easiest way to render likes for a given Facebook object into a container with id "container":

$('#container').fbLikes({
    id: "some object id",
    accessToken: "your application's access token",
});

In addition, the following options can be specified:

userId:

the id of the Facebook user you are rendering this for (so that it shows "you like this" and so on).

fbComments

This plugin shows Facebook comments for a given Facebook object, adding them to a container with id "container":

$('#container').fbComments({
    id: "some object id",
    accessToken: "your really elaborate access token"
});

Along with the some options mentioned for fbLikes, the following options are allowed:

formatDate:

a function that takes a string representation of a date (when the comment was posted) and returns a formatted version of it; for instance, to get a common US format, you might use the following:

$('#container').fbComments({
    ...,
    formatDate: function(s){
        var date = new Date(s);
        var month = date.getMonth() + 1;
        var day = date.getDay();
        var year = date.getFullYear();
        return month + '/' + day + '/' + year;
    }
})
