This displays the comments from that http://domain.com/some/abc
<fb:comments href="http://domain.com/some/abc" num_posts="20" width="500"></fb:comments> <div id="fb-root"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> (function(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) {return;} js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=1234567890"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); }(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk')); </script>
If the user changes a value in the form from abc to xyz, I need the comment plugin to display comments from http://domain.com/some/xyz without reloading the page.
<form id="name"> <select> <option value="abc" selected>abc</option> <option value="xyz">xyz</option> </select> </form>
Is it feasible? (didn't find any information on the fb dev page.) I'm using jQuery. Thanks!
Yes, it is feasible; I believe I managed to replicate your desired result here;
Snippet in case the jsfiddle dies:
(function loadfb(d, s, id) { var js, fjs = d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0]; if (d.getElementById(id)) { return; } js = d.createElement(s); js.id = id; js.src = "//connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js#xfbml=1&appId=1234567890"; fjs.parentNode.insertBefore(js, fjs); })(document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'); function changeDomain(value) { var newVal = '<fb:comments href="http://example.com/some/' + value + '" num_posts="20" width="500"></fb:comments><div id="fb-root"></div>'; $('#comments').html(newVal); FB.XFBML.parse($('#comments').get(0),function(){ $(".FB_Loader").remove(); }); }
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script> <form id="name"> <select onChange="changeDomain(this.value);"> <option value="abc" selected>abc</option> <option value="xyz">xyz</option> </select> </form> <div id="comments"> <fb:comments href="http://example.com/some/abc" num_posts="20" width="500"></fb:comments> <div id="fb-root"></div> </div>
I did it by first replacing the innerHTML of the comments div(that I created to house the fb:comments tag), and then calling FB.XFBML.parse(); on that same comments div. Credit goes to this post which alerted me of that method.
