Facebook Connect Glitch with Disqus

disqus - facebook connect - not logged in

[Update: As of April 18, 2009, the Facebook Connect glitch under Disqus discussed in this post appears to be remedied. As you can see, I have re-activated the Facebook Connect option on The Daleisphere.

I also note that commenters using Facebook connect have the option (when leaving a comment) to allow that comment to be posted back to their Facebook feed.

Finally, I have updated my ‘Why and How to Integrate Facebook Connect with Disqus’ post to reflect recent Disqus/Facebook implementation changes.]

————–

Disqus is in the process of enhancing their Facebook Connect feature. However, for the last day or so, with the feature enabled, only logged-in Disqus users were able to leave comments on The Daleisphere and on my iMedia Law blog. Neither Facebook users, nor regular commenters could leave comments here.

I recently updated sections 4.6 and 4.8 of my ‘Why and How to Integrate Facebook Connect with Disqus’ post describing the changes that Disqus recently instructed me to make on the applicable Facebook developer pages to facilitate the latest enhancements.  Clearly, they are not working.

For more information on the problem, I wrote a detailed description of Facebook Connect / Disqus problem here in the Disqus forums.

So, as of March 18, 2009, I have shut off Disqus’ Facebook Connect functionality on my Daleisphere and iMedia Law blogs. 

I will update this post when this problem is resolved.

  • Disqus is a great value add to any blog, I have recently started using it and really enjoying the ease of comment management now, one of my friends also referred "intense debate", but somehow I like Disqus better
  • Disqus claims that it makes your comments more interactive for readers and easier to manage for you — all while connecting your community with other blogs. Well, lets see how it works.
  • Disqus is a great system that has quality features I haven't seen on other blogging platforms. It's also a great advertising solution for those using blogs in their marketing...Disqus with Facebook,Twitter is awesome it's a great....

  • Hi Dale,

    Daniel from Disqus here. Much apologies for the issue that you're describing. We're taking a look at this now.
  • Much appreciated ... if you want to co-ordinate with me, I can turn Facebook connect back on (preferably on my iMedia law blog - currently on hiatus) so your team can see EXACTLY what is going on. For the moment, its shut off so the problem isn't viewable. Let me know.
