Compatibility:

WebSite X5 Evo and Pro

As you probably know,  Facebook makes some plugins available which can be easily integrated on the websites, so to encourage the content sharing and the interaction among users.


An example is the Comments Plugin, which enables users to add comments on a content using their Facebook profile. The positive aspect about using this plugin instead of other systems is that it is also a useful indirect advertising, as comments are potentially visible for all the friends of the user who leaves the comment. 



How to activate the Comments Plugin on your website

If you decided to use the Facebook Comments Plugin, you don't need to configure it on its official page: you can in fact directly work on your WebSite X5 project.

  • The procedure varies slightly depending on the result you want to achieve:
    • If you have inserted the Comments and Ratings Object within a page --> go to Step 4 - Pages, select the inserted Object and click the Edit button (or double-click on the Object itself).
    • If you are working on the Blog --> go to Step 3 - Map, select the Special Page "Blog: Article Page" and click the Edit button (alternatively, double-click on the page itself).
    • If you are working on the e-commerce store --> go to Step 3 - Map, select the Special Page "E-commerce: Product Page" and click the Edit button (alternatively, double-click on the page itself).
  • For both the Blog and the E-commerce, go to the Comments section and make sure you have enabled the option Allow comments on Blog posts. In the case of the Comments and Ratings Object, this step is not required.
  • Select Facebook as the Comment management system.
  • The plug-in code is generated and automatically inserted by the program. However, you can choose the color scheme and the number of comments to display.


How to moderate comments

The Facebook Comments Plugin also includes a tool which enables you or your team to moderate the comments.


To configure and use this comment moderation toll, please follow the instructions reported on the plugin official page.
