Oh yeah, Disqus is available on Blogger.
We're using Disqus right now to comment on my Blogger blog, aren't we ;)

disqus and backtype aren't available on blogspot are they?

I hate to say it, but you've hit the nail right on the head.
As far as FriendFeed's current API is concerned, groups and people are not the same thing.

Yes, it would be possible to add support for groups in this, or a similar plugin.
Unfortunately, recently the popularity of my widget has been declining as better tools have come about.

I would suggest you look into Disqus's reactions feature, or maybe check out Backtype.

I am having some trouble getting this to work on a Blogger blog. The blog is here: http://allwordyandjunk.blog...

It's not picking up the comments and likes that are posted on the items here: http://friendfeed.com/allwo...

Now I added it exactly the same way I did on my own blog, which works quite well on my blog, but it doesn't want to work on this one.

For example, this post: http://allwordyandjunk.blog...

has a like and a comment here: http://friendfeed.com/allwo...

But you'd never know that looking at the page on Blogger.

Am I doing something wrong? Or does this just not work on group blogs, or not work for feeds posted to a friendfeed group, even though I added the group name in the script so it can find the page?

And if it won't work because it's a friendfeed group, is there any way you can make it support that?

Thanks for this great plugin!! Works fine. Blogger should have offered this as a standard plugin. Maybe when Google buys FF, that will happen... :-)

months later and I came back to reintegrate this onto my blog. installing disqus messed this all up for me and it took me 6 months to put your code back. thanks again Pat

Weird stuff happens sometimes. Sometimes the Yahoo pipe takes a while to
update. At any rate, I'm glad it works now.
Let me know if you have any issues getting it on your blog.

I thought I had already tried that. Alas, I hadn't. Now it works, thanks a lot. I now should be able to get it to work on my blog as well, many thanks!

Take off the single quotes around the post URL.So the script URL will be
http://pipes.yahoo.com/path...

I just tested your widget on a generic page (since it doesn't work on my own blog running on e107): http://bjoern.brembs.net/ff...
It's not displaying anything at all, despite the post I linked to contains numerous comments and likes. What am I missing?

Hi Pat, this is long overdue, so busy ^_^

------------------
1) After the HEAD element put:
<script src="http://www.pathawks.com/ffb..."></script>

2) Placed the following before or after your first CSS call. (Note: If placed 'after', ffbadge.css won't kick-in for some weird reason, but if it's placed 'before', it causes errors on some themes/skin [not just b2evolution, even on some blogger themes/skins as well].)
<style type="text/css" charset="UTF-8">
@import url("http://www.pathawks.com/ffb...");
</style>

3) Search for: END OF FEEDBACK (COMMENTS/TRACKBACKS) Then after the ?> bit, add the following:
get_permanent_url().'"></script>';
?>

Done.

Many thanks. Excellent!

I was looking at the source of your page, and nowhere could I find the "<script expr:src='"http://pipes.yahoo.com/pathawks/ffbadge?_render=json&..." line. It should be right by the FeedFlare line, but it isn't there. That's why it's not working.

hey, Pat...followed these instructions to the letter...didn't work. my blog is at bigguyd.blogspot.com. Can you help?

Re: FriendFeed Comment Widget

Pat Hawks — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 02:07:06 -0000

The problem is that you aren't importing *this* blog into FriendFeed.
This script can only find the comments if they're designated as coming from
a "blog," not a FriendFeed link or del.icio.us save or anything like that.
If you started importing this feed into FriendFeed as a blog, and liked or
commented on *those* entries, you would see them come up on this blog.

ah ok very cool, I seem to have missed that part :\

Re: FriendFeed Comment Widget

Pat Hawks — Fri, 04 Jul 2008 00:23:08 -0000

It will only appear on posts that have likes or comments on FriendFeed. This
is to reduce clutter if there's nothing to show.
It still appears on posts that *do* have comments...
