Hi, first of all compliments !
I’ve got a problem: after installing ver. 0.5, when I try to click to “options” (in “friendfeed comments” settings panel) I can get the 2 field related to “nickname” and “remote key”. What can I do ?
thank you

@Richard : It’s a bug. I’m going to fix it soon ( in 1 or 2 days )
@vincos : You have to learn your friendfeed nickname and remote key. Login to friendfeed then you can learn them from here –> https://friendfeed.com/account/api

Elinize sağlık. Çok işe yarar bir plugin olmuş. Yalnız Türkçe karakter sorunu yaşıyorum. Bunu çözmek için ne yapabilirim? http://www.ersanozer.com/2008/10/10/uzmantv-nasil-para-kazanacak/

@Ersan Özer : Teşekkürler. Türkçe karakter sorunu için aklıma ilk gelen seçenek blogunuzun temasına ait olan comments.php dosyasının karakter kodlaması utf-8 olmayabilir. Bunu kontrol edip, sorun çözülmez ise tekrar geri bildirimde bulunursanız sevinirim.

Great plugin, what version of WordPress is it compatible of? I’m running 2.7.1 and I’m not seeing any comments nor is it posting to FF.
Gürkan OLUÇ diyor ki:

25 Şubat 2009, 21:12

@Kol : Thanks. Did you enter your friendfeed nickname and friendfeed remote key to options/friendfeed comments page correctly? If you did, plugin must get comments from your blog’s rss items on friendfeed. I’m using plugin with WP 2.7.1 and there isn’t any error =)
Kol Tregaskes diyor ki:

25 Şubat 2009, 21:55

Yes added nickname and key. So I have to import my RSS into FF? Can it be the custom RSS or the standard RSS (yellow or grey icon)? I watched the video above and it appeared that the posts were being imported as FF items (with the FF icon) that’s why I ask.
Gürkan OLUÇ diyor ki:

25 Şubat 2009, 22:07

@Kol : Yes, you have to add your blog’s rss feed to friendfeed, it’s gonna import your entries automatically. Sorry for video. I recorded that video when i first realesed the plugin. In first version of plugin, plugin was adding blog post’s to friendfeed as a link then getting comments that comes for the link from friendfeed.

Standart RSS is ok, but actualt it doesn’t matter which rss feed you add to friendfeed.

Sorry for my bad english =)
Kol Tregaskes diyor ki:

25 Şubat 2009, 22:11

OK, last question then, does it all work if I import my blog as a custom feed (the grey RSS feed icon in FF) or do it have to be the normal RSS feed (orange icon), which definitely works.
Gürkan OLUÇ diyor ki:

25 Şubat 2009, 22:14

I tested plugin with Standart RSS feed ( orange rss icon ) so i don’t know does it work with grey rss icon, but give it a chance =)
Kol Tregaskes diyor ki:

25 Şubat 2009, 22:33

Hmmm, if I use the custom feed import the test in the post is duplicated as the first comment from my FF User, see here on my test blog: http://www.e-lusion.co.uk/?p=10 and here on my test FF user: http://friendfeed.com/e/73be2feb-0add-de6a-4c82-f3e18e9b84c7/New-theme-test/. The text “321″ was part of the blog post but appears as the first comment on the custom RSS feed as well as the first comment on the blog. Any chance this could be looked out/fixed? I’ll be importing images so having the custom fee would be ideal for me. My next test will be changing the RSS feed on my blog to a FeedBurner feed…
Gürkan OLUÇ diyor ki:

25 Şubat 2009, 23:16

Hmm. As i understand, when you import entries from custom feed, Friendfeed adds post’s limited content to entry as a comment. I have just learned it. Sorry, plugin doesn’t have a fix for that. But i noted it, next version of the plugin i will add this feature to plugin. Thanks for your feedback. And as i see from your test blog. There is a date bug in plugin. Which version of the plugin are you using? As i remember, plugin had this bug in 1.0 version so i fixed in 1.2 version.
Kol Tregaskes diyor ki:

26 Şubat 2009, 00:03

I’m using v1.2, just downloaded it.
Kol Tregaskes diyor ki:

26 Şubat 2009, 00:06

I have another bug, in the custom feed here: http://friendfeed.com/e/07e5ef8c-8c18-999e-f396-16639d44f292/FeedBurner-test/ there is no sign of the last comment on the blog here “Test from blog” comment: http://www.e-lusion.co.uk/?p=13
Kol Tregaskes diyor ki:

26 Şubat 2009, 00:15

Feel free to test anything on my blog/FF. Basically I would like to working fully else I won’t be using it. So I’m slowly adding plugins, themes and testing at every stage. On my other site it doesn’t work at all so at some stage something stops it from working and I’m trying to find out what.
Kol Tregaskes diyor ki:

26 Şubat 2009, 00:38

Also is there any chance we can up the refresh rate from 15mins? 3-5mins would be a lot better, especially for testing.
Mio diyor ki:

Hi, Gürkan,

I’ve added my blog RSS not only to my account but also to friendfeed room. Can the plugin find and import comments from room entries too?
Kol Tregaskes diyor ki:

26 Şubat 2009, 18:59

Sorry I thought I replied to you. Obviously not: I am using v1.2 the latest version. I only downloaded it for the first time yesterday. Quick question, should the plugin sync comments both ways? I have made comments on my blog posts but they do not appear on FF. The video above suggests this should work.

I think I’ll wait for the new version before launching my site as the above problem about the blog text coming out as the first comment would cause problems. Thanks for your help so far.
Gürkan OLUÇ diyor ki:

26 Şubat 2009, 20:13

@Kol : It’s not a bug. Plugin adds mini ff icon to only comments comes from friendfeed.
Gürkan OLUÇ diyor ki:

26 Şubat 2009, 20:15

3-5 minutes might be good for test, i will add =)
Gürkan OLUÇ diyor ki:

26 Şubat 2009, 20:17

Hi Mio, plugin can find your blog post on friendfeed in your account’s rss entries so it can’t get comments from room entries. Sorry =)
Gürkan OLUÇ diyor ki:

Kol : You welcome. Thanks for your feedbacks. I wanna realese new version of plugin but i have an university entrance exam 3 months later, so i have to study so much. I think, i can realese new version of plugin in June.
Kol Tregaskes diyor ki:

26 Şubat 2009, 20:23

Maybe I was wasn’t very clear, sorry. None of the comments posted on my WordPress blog appear in FriendFeed. The video shows that this should happen. Any ideas why this is not working? Comments made in FriendFeed appear on my blog, so that is OK but the comments from blog to FriendFeed is not.

Thanks for adding 3-5mins refresh rate, ideally this would be as frequent as you can but 15mins is too long really.
Gürkan OLUÇ diyor ki:

26 Şubat 2009, 20:35

In your options / friendfeed comments page “send admin comments to friendfeed” choice is ticked? To use this feature, it must be ticket.
Kol Tregaskes diyor ki:

26 Şubat 2009, 21:36

I don’t have that option, I have “Send post author’s comments to FriendFeed”. which is ticked already. January? Wow, that a *really* long time. Well good luck with uni, that’s definitely more important.
Gürkan OLUÇ diyor ki:

26 Şubat 2009, 21:55

Yea, option you said must be ticket =) If it’s ticked, it should works. Can you check your remotekey?

I chanced it as a June =) I made an mistake when i first wrote comment =)
Kol Tregaskes diyor ki:

27 Şubat 2009, 01:05

Yep I’ve checked my remote key and everything looks fine. Any other ideas why it’s not working?

Hehe, I thought you meant June, no worries.

There seems to be a conflict with the WordPress 2.7 media manager. I can’t add an image to post draft. When I invoke the media manager, I get this JavaScript error:

Error: jQuery(".ff_id_editable").editable is not a function Source file: https://dltj.org/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-friendfeed-comments/js/wp_ff_admin.js?ver=2.7.1 Line: 18

Any thoughts?

No worries — I was just wanted to know if you knew about it. Thanks for your efforts in creating a great plug-in that unites the blog and FriendFeed worlds. Good luck on your entrance exam.

Just curious — are you going to have a chance to get back to this plug-in? (I hope you did well on your entrance exam!)

Gürkan merhaba,

Eklentiyi kurdum ancak şöyle bir hata veriyor:

“To use plugin php_curl extension must be installed on your server”

Bunu nasıl yapabileceğim hakkında bir fikrin var mı?
Gürkan OLUÇ diyor ki:

25 Ekim 2009, 17:08

Eklentiyi kullanabilmek için eklentinin çalıştığı sunucuda php için curl extension’u kurulmuş olmalı. Bu hatayı almanızın sebebi bu php eklentisinin sunucuzda yüklü olmaması yada yüklü olsa bile aktif edilmemesinden dolayı kaynaklanıyor olabilir.
