Facebook Connect Commenters
This Open Source plugin adds Facebook Connect to any Movable Type powered site and allows any Facebook user to sign in, comment, and share their actions on Facebook. Using Facebook Connect, it automatically displays their name and photo next to their comment. Additionally, Movable Type allows them to share their comment with their network of friends on Facebook via the mini-feed on their profile. This helps to put your blog -- your content -- in front of possibly millions of more people every day.
Important: please be sure to review the read me file included with the file since you will need to create a Facebook app in order for the authentication and transmission of comments to Facebook to work properly.
THIS PLUGIN IS BETA
THIS PLUG IS COMPATIBLE ONLY WITH MT 4.23

I've gotten it installed without any problems, and everything seems to be working fine on the blog itself. However, comments are never posted to the user's mini-feed on Facebook. Anyone else having this issue?
Thanks!

I've implemented it on movable type v4.24 and works excellent, except that the comment is not posted also on the facebook wall.
Working now on finding a solution to this. It shouldn't be a big deal.

Hi,
I am having the issue where the comments are not posted to the wall. It seems like it shouldn't be a big deal, but I can't seem to figure it out. Did you ever find a solution to this?

I've installed this plug in, and have taken all the steps to set up a Facebook App (I have all the API codes etc). However when I save the settings, I get a really long error message. I'll spare you the whole thing since it's mostly path, but it begins with…
Can't locate version/vpp.pm in @INC
I can't run CPAN on my host (Media Temple) to install JSON::XS - so I uploaded via FTP. I tried doing the same with version. And I still get the error.
