Facebook Comments for tt_news extension released to TER :)

Today I've uploaded to the typo3 TER my first contribution to the community, the implementation of Facebook Comments Box for tt_news plugin.

The extension allows you to display a comment box and a list of comments under your news and visitors can login with Facebook Connect and post comments. These comments show up on their profiles. It's a neat feature to spread the reach of your content.

The video below explains more about what the Comments widget is and how can you get one.

I will come back with a more detailed post and examples about the extension. As a short summary, you get three markers that get inserted in the templates and then in typoscript you set up the facebook api key and you enable the comments in displayList, displayLatest or displaySingle section. The text "1 comment", "xx comments" is also translatable via typoscript. More is explained in the manual inside the extension.

Until the extension shows up in the TER you can download it from the Download page.
