Hi,

I would like to create K2 blog where my visitors can comment but using only social accounts - facebook,twiter,google+,... just like on Your blog


Can You please explain me how to do that?

if you want to use all of those within the same comment box, i would recoommed disqus (it supports logins from all three mentioned), and this plugin:

codesnipper.pl/extensions/k2-meets-disqus (you can see how it works on that page too)

you'll need to create an account at disqus if you haven't already, and link your site to it: disqus.com

note that you need to have sef turned on at your site for it to work properly

Thanks for Your answer.

But this is not the same as on Your blog (image1)


Never mind google and twitter ,I will go with Your solution for comments.

One more thing to add.

Will google see comments as part of my page if I use DISQUS ?

If answer is no then if I make blog comments as on Your blog,can Google then see comments as part of my page?

Will google see comments as part of my page if I use DISQUS ?

I found answer to this question my self.
Google want index DISQUS comments,that is only bad thing I find for DISQUS.

Can You help me with that another question?

I would like to create K2 blog where my visitors can comment using only social accounts - just like on Your blog.

Thank you Eric and Filip Nikitovic, i was looking into the same issue.

Please can You answer me how to make K2 blog comments with social account but just like Your blog??

Im getting lot of answers on another post I made but here just one.

Please help and answer me this question so I can start with my blog.

We use the Facebook Comment Box in our blog. You can read here on how to modify it for your site.

developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/plugins/comments/

Thank You very much.

This is my blog test article1 - I named it test page1 by mistake



As You can see facebook comment box is under the article,where I inserted code.

Can You please explain me how did You manage to put facebook comments at the bottom of page?



And as I can see You are only using facebook comment box,no K2 comments.

Another problem,when I add code under the article is that box also in K2 category view,please look at image



I can make box smaller so it look better but I would really like to create comments only when You click on K2 item - (I call it article)

Once again,image of Your Blog

Category view


And when You click on read more , only then You can see facebook comment box

We have inserted the code inside the item.php file of the K2 template override (templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_k2/default/item.php).

We have replaced the comments block with the facebook one.
You can keep the show/hide if statements if you wish to maintain a flexibility and move the facebook box code inside that statement.

Thank You once again.
Can You please look at my question again.

I edited my question.

Please,Im sorry.

Read carefully my answer.
The change I provide occurs only to the K2 Item page and not in the category item, that is why you have to make the change only to the item.php file of your override.

Follow my instructions.
Search for the following if statement that starts with: $this->item->params->get('itemComments') && ($this->item->params->get('comments') == '1' || .....

inside this if statement you should put the facebook comment box.

Super.
Thank You very very much.

May I ask last one,,does google see facebook box comments as part of Your page?

Luckily it does.

Excellent.
You were very helpful.
Thank You for everything Yiota Ziaggou.

Im very sorry,I really tried to do this but I have problems.

We have inserted the code inside the item.php file of the K2 template override (templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_k2/default/item.php).

I didnt find item.php like that,insted I found it here root/components\com_k2\templates\default\item.php

I hope its the same file as You told me.

In item.php file at 579 line is this code

Search for the following if statement that starts with: $this->item->params->get('itemComments') && ($this->item->params->get('comments') == '1' || .....

I belive that is the right statment.

inside this if statement you should put the facebook comment box.

I dont get it just where in statement.

Can You please tell me where in this statment should I put facebook code?

I'm sorry, I had to be more precise.

You will have to create a K2 template override. The point of this is that you won't be hacking any core K2 files which upon update you will be lost. Copy the files in folder

components/com_k2/templates/
to
templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_k2/.

Then open the file item.php that is located in your template folder and not the component's folder.

Locate the if statement I described earlier (that is the correct one you have posted), comment out all elements inside that if statement (or erase them) and paste your facebook code there.

Problem again.

I disabled K2 comments before editing the code and when I tryed to turn on comments again nothing happened.

So i decided to start fresh from begining again,

Im working on wampserver on localhost,set everything for Joomla and installed K2 and I got this message.



This happens in Joomla administration,when I click on K2 in components.
I also cleard Joomla cache but same error.

There is nothing on screen exept this message,so disabling error reporting dont help this time.

Then I tryed everything again from begining,and same error.

And then I deinstaled wampserver and instaled again,and I downloaded again K2,set everything for Joomla,installed that last K2 that I just downloaded and same error again.

Do You have any idea what is going on now?

Please help,Im going crazy here.

What is going on here.

Now when I click on components/K2/users it works.

And now when I click on components/K2 everything is ok.

Ok,so I will start with editing code from begining but I dont really know what just happend.

Locate the if statement I described earlier (that is the correct one you have posted), comment out all elements inside that if statement (or erase them) and paste your facebook code there.

Sir please can You paste Your code here,how it should look after You edit this line

Please help, again.
Im trying to do this for few days and Im always doing something wrong.
